Need Assistance - 6" Lift - Largest Tire?

I am purchasing a 6" Lift this week and I plan on upgrading my tires. What is the largest tire that I can fit on the following?

- 2006 Ford F150 Super Crew
- 2.5 Leveling Kit
- 17x9 **** Cepeck Wheels
- 2 Inch Pocket Flares

After reviewing several pictures, the 12.50 width seems too small...can I go with a 13.50 or wider? I think it's the 2" Pocket Flares that are adding to my concern.

Please help and thank you for your assistance.

Yours Truly,

Stroke

you can fit a 13.50 on some lifts. It all depends on wheel size and backspacing. When you pick a lift kit, contact the manufacturer and they will be able to tell you what will fit.

I'd go with a 305/65-17 (33x12.50). You won't have a lot of tire choices in a 33x13.50 tire. If you went with a 18x9 inch wheel you would have several choices in the 325/60-18 (33x13.00) size.

Are you running the 2 together or are you just running the lift?

I was told this morning that the 2.5 Leveling Kit will need to come off and that the Fabtech 6" lift will level the truck.

Is this information accurate?

Thank you again for all of your help.

If its the basic Fabtech you could run the spacer on top of it although the angles on the cv's are going to be quite extreme.

I didn't even see the part in your post about adding a 6 inch lift. I'd still recommend a 18x9 wheel but would go up to a 325/65-18 (35x13.00). If you keep the leveling kit also you could fit a 37x12.50 or a 37x13.50 tire.
