Backspacing Issue?

Hey, im new to the forum. I know the admin's are pretty tired of dealing with lift/level/tire questions, but I am a new Ford owner. Being used to K10 Chevys with solid front axles and leaf springs in the front, the F platform is new to me.

Anywho, I bought the truck with aftermarket wheels and my question is about being able to clear a wider tire after lift. I have purchased a leveling kit, add-a-leafs, and a three inch body lift. I want to be able to run a 35" by 12.5" tire. Is this possible without rubbing? And if not how does a 35"/10.5" setup look?

Truck is show in album. Thanks for patience.

Since your 4x4 return the leveling kit, and DO NOT install it. You'll burn through front end components like crazy. You can crank your factory torsion key's for free and it'll net you like 2" or so of lift and keep you in factory spec. I'm guessing you want to keep the factory rake since your putting an aal on the back too? But yes, you can most definitely clear a 35x12.50 with a body lift and cranking the factory keys.
