Question Suspension lift suggestions

i had a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit installed about a year ago and put some 295 terra grapplers on my truck. here recently i got a bad itch for some 35's. the guys at the tire shop said no prob running the 35's with a 2 1/2 level kit. turns out they were wrong. i had to do some minor inner fender and running board trimming just to get out of the damn parking lot.

i stilll get a little rub so i think i am going to step up and just get a suspension lift. i am running 35x12.5 r20. the wheels are black fuel wheels.

i think i am gonna get the 4'' rough country lift. anybody have any suggestions.
if you have a 4'' suspension on your f150 please post some pics so i can take a look.

the only thing i am worried about is my fenders not looking full enough. i do not like the big gaps.
any ideas are appreciated.

You didn't say your year truck, I know 04+ but you need to specify for us to help you.

These 2 threads alone will cause me to steer clear of their products. I understand failures on a trail rig, but on a street queen things like this are unacceptable.

I went through similar situation as you on my 2011 Plat. Started out with a BDS 2.5-inch lift to fit my 295/60R20 Nittos (34.5 inches tall) but had to trim to make them fit and would still rub slightly under certain conditions, so went to a Fabteck 4-inch suspension system to get the clearance and stance I really wanted. No issues after that and thought the 4-inch was the perfect height for what I wanted.

2.5-inch lift:

May as well just pay the extra $100 for the 6" lift instead of the 4".
