leveling kit on 35ʻs

What leveling kit is best recommended to clear 35x12.50 with minimal rubbing? Will i need to get new gearing? I have a 2006 lariat f150 3.73 gears.. please give me some answers!

06+ only need a 2" to clear 35's. 3.73's should be fine for 35's

2 inch will usually be fine. you on stock rims? if its an aggressive rim than you are going to rub like crazy either way.

3.73s will do, but i can tell the difference going from stock tires to my 33s, so you will def see a drop in performance and mpgs with 35s. if you tow id consider upgrading to 4.56s

I agree. Also, most members here like the Autosping leveling kit. It's high quality and the price is low.

I was rubbing like crazy on the upper control arm leveled and Toyo Open Country MT's becasue of the aggressive sidewall so be cautious when you are selecting tires.

Also had to trim the lower variance and rubbed going over bumps. End result was new rims and a 6" lift haha .... no more rubbing issues here

My 34's fit perfectly with the level kit and honestly I would not suggest an inch over 34" with a leveling kit. They never treated me bad.

I had 2" Auto Spring and 3" rear blocks. I couldn't have been anymore disappointed in the ride quality on country roads, which I'm on a lot. Switched to Bilstein 5100's and just about as bad. Now I have the Bilsteins on 0" setting and the spacers and the ride is still disappointing.
But the 35's fit fine, no rubbing and it looks good!
