35 inch tires and leveling kit

Hey guys whats up im new in the ford family just bought a 2006 f150 stx 4wd im currently in japan but im tryin to get my truck to where i want it to be by the time get back to the states i was wondering if the 35 inch tires will fit with no rub i have a 2.5 inch leveling kit already and everyones opinion on bull bars if they would protect the vehicle from hitting a deer or go with the full cage which im not a big fan of how they look.

They will fit, but you need to stay as close to stock offset on your wheels as you can.
If you are putting them on the stock wheels then you will be fine.

I have 315/70/17 with just a two inch level and zero rubbing. My wheels are close to stock specs. Tires are about 34.5 inches tall.

you can do it. just like the other fella mentioned keep your offset close to stock which is around a +44 or something like that. In my gallery the black truck i first had BOSS wheels and a 2.5 leveling kit and 35.12.50s. You could also just split the difference and do a popular size now that is a 295/70/18.....which is a 34 and. watch your width with stock wheels if you decide to keep the stockers. Be careful over there and good luck with the truck

My 8 inch wide 17s have +25 offset with about 5.5 inches bs. All depends on wheel width for the offset needed.
