Leveling kit or 4 inch lift??

I just purchased a 2010 Ford F-150 Screw FX4 and will be looking to put a lift and bigger wheels and tires on it soon. I want to put 20" wheels (got it narrowed down to 3 choices) and 35's on it as well. Will a 2.5" leveling kit cause me to rub or do I need to go bigger with a 4" lift? Thanks.

You can put 35s on a 4x4 with a leveling kit with very minor rubbing and you will have to trim some from the front valence... Depends on what you want your truck to look like I personally don't like 35s with just a leveling kit I think it looks too crowded. If your dead set on 35s my vote is for the 4 inch lift.

I found this vehicle for sale on Autotrader a few months back. This is the exact look im going for. I know what wheels those are and that those are 35's but I dont know what kind of tires they are or what size lift he has on it. Anyone have any idea??

Thanks for the help guys. Any idea on the backspacing and the offset from looking at it?
