new kid on the block

hey guys, first time poster. just picked up this 07 5.4 last sat and lovin it. this is not my first shin dig, just my first in a ford. i bought it just as it is in the pics. ut i have big plans. from what i can tell it has no suspention mods but it is running 33's. i didnt think that was posable on a newer ford. what would be the best way to run a set of 35's. iv read about the billstein adjstable 5100's and was thinking about the truxxx 3in leveling kit. truck came with flowmaster and a edge evo installed. any info will be great

depending on the backspacing of those rims, you might be able to run 35's as long as you got a leveling kit... which it looks like you have.

The BEST way to clear 35's and look porpotional would be a Procomp or Fabtech 6" lift

You can fit 35's with a 2.5" Leveling kit and proper wheels but IMO it looks crammed.

The other way you can do is a 2.5" Leveling kit and a body lift. But unless you install the body lift yourself its gonna cost you an arm and a leg

Bilstein 5100's are an excellent replacement strut leveling option, but it looks to me like your already leveled? You might look and see if it has poly coil spacers or a steel leveling kit on top of the coilover, from the pics it looks leveled though, i could be wrong though. I think the other guys have it covered though with the proper backspacing you could run 35's on aftermarket wheels, and you can definately run them on stockers with little to no rubbing. If you like those wheels you could always see if a shop would let you test fit a set for fitment, or if those wheels did not matter some stock 20's with 35's always looks tuff.

I wouldn't get a 3" leveling kit. Go for a 2.5" unless you already have one on there.

Congrats on the truck. I like the trucks with the 6.5" box. I'd ditch the chrome grille and skull caps though. They would look better with chrome wheels. Welcome to the site.
