Trying to fit 35's w/ 2wd
 
Whats up guys, I have the HBS 2.5in leveling kit on my 05 2wd f150 and as of right now I have 33's, and we all know once you do a little lift you just want to go higher and higher...

So my issue is how do I fit 35's with out buying a lift kit? I'm also contemplating getting king shocks if that will help with the clearance?

Should i get a bigger block for the front and then add-a-leaf in the back?

Thanks for the help

Install a 3 inch body lift.

i agree with wandell, get a 3" P.A. body lift from amazon, they only cost $180 and you will clear 35's with no problems.

your other option would be to get a 3" spindle lift and then get a 3" block for the back or AAL.

Ok so if I do get that 3in body lift, ive read you have to stick with the stock wheels if you want to clear 35's? Or where can i get 3in spindles?

you can get 3 inch spindles from doestch or fabtech has them and also fabtech has a whole spindle kit which includes shocks, rear blocks and u bolts, and 3.5 inch spindles

Ok so if i get the spindles from fabtech and go to put 35's on do i still have to run stock rims or can i clear aftermarket ones?? Thanks.

You can clear aftermarket wheels fine. With 6"of lift(how much you will need to run 35s) I would recommend 4.5" of backspacing on them.

They don't make lift spindles for 04-10 F-150 4x2's.

yeah but isn't a spindle lift just a larger spindle. there are plenty of companies that make 2wd lift kits with drop down brackets and all but the op was asking about spindle lifts.

wandell Dec 15, 2009 09:51 PM

That is a full suspension lift. The spindles/knuckles are a part of the lift, but they can't be installed seperatley on a stock 4x2.

b2therad Dec 15, 2009 11:05 PM

I am sorry.. You guys are right! I was not thinking "lift spindles" as in just spindles. That is my bad :o

militia310 Dec 16, 2009 01:43 AM

I knew I was going crazy i have been looking for those spindles for probably 2 days online now wow haha....so from here where would u guys go if you were on a budget of lets say 1000 not including wheels and tires.
