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

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 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.

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.
