Just got my new baby went from my 99 F150 to an 04. I need to get rid of the donuts Ford put on at the factory. I wanna do a leveling kit in the front with 3" leveling aluminum spacers from Fat Bob's Garage. I know some of you guys out there have done this and I wanna know what size tires you are running and if you are having any rubbing issues or anything else with the leveling kit and bigger tires. thanks

 

JUST installed the 3" kit from fat bobs garage. super easy install. took about 1 1/2 hours. havn't got the new tires yet but the truck looks slick now!!! i highly recommend this kit!

 

If you have a 4x4, I'd suggest going with a 325/60-18 (33x13.00) tire on an 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing.

 

if you are using the stock rims i would say go 35x12.50. if you are running aftermarket rims go with a 33. mine has a 3" kit also with 33's.

 

hey this is my truck i just installed the fat bobs garage 3" spacers and it looks amazing. i have 20" rims and 33 in tires.... hope the picks help... i have no rubbing, i was told you can almost go to a 35" tire without rubbing so you could go bigger than 33...

 

sweet truck man! i'm taking my time and doing ALOT of reasearch on tires so that i can be assured i get the right ones for my truck as they are not a small investment to say the least. did you put any blocks in the back of your truck?

 

Nice truck Post some pic`s of your front end angle.

 

hey ill take some pics of the front end angle in a bit... but hey go with cooper zeon ltz tires... or at least check them out. AMAZING at offroading and REALLY quiet on the road. And they are VERY cheap compared to other all terain tires. check them out on coopertires.com or at discounttire.com
GREAT tires.

 

and no i didnt put blocks on the back of the truck.. although i do think itd look pretty good with about a 1.5' lift on the back.

 

hey what are the brand of your rims and your grill brand.... i love ur truck .... i got a white 04 4 door and would like it to look a lot like yours.....

 

After leveling you can fit up to a 35x12.5 tire on stock wheels or 8" wide with 5 1/2 inches of backspacing aftermarket wheels, this applies to 17 and 18 inch wheels. These stick out only 1/2 inches more than stock.

 

I've got the 2.5in kit on mine and I'm running Toyo Mts 35x12.5 on stock 18's. They are great, but they do rub on the control arm and a little on the frame. Still great tires and love the look of my truck with those tires. Still would prefer a 6in lift, but $$$ is always tight!

 

my wheels are eagle alloys... go to their website i dont remember what the exact wheel is called.
i got my grill on ebay... heres a link to one like i bought: (copy and paste it)
