@Ray S- because we like to speak in absolutes. We didn't have access to 35x12.5"s (the most popular size we sell) on a stock wheel/offset so therefore we couldn't test them, nor could we speculate on them fitting without testing. Far too often in the truck world there is too much speculation on what *might* fit based off of what some dude said on a forum as opposed to showing something in black and white. So we took the most popular fitment range we sell and gave it a try- and it didn't work. But now our customers know! Will we try this tire on a stock offset to appease the stock wheel crowd? Possibly- but we addressed the most popular setup first based on our data and as an aftermarket site, we feel comfortable starting there. Thanks for watching. -Justin
@@americantrucks No need to defend yourself. I do like the vids just, sometimes misleading like the question you asked on You-Tube (Will 35's fit on a 2021 F150 with 2.5" level Kit)?

I’d like to see 2.5” level with 35” and a stock offset. Show us how to get maybe a 34.8” to fit without rubbing or trimming. A lot of us want a 35” tire without a 4-6” lift. I hear it possible maybe 11 wide instead of 12.5. Let’s make it happen.
I have a 21, sport wheels with 295/65/20's (35.1") Toyo AT3's and no rub.. Tried putting on 1.5" spacers to get a little offset and rubbed valence, crash bars, and front bumper edge as well.
@@jhallucf1 Do the tires poke out at all or are they flush with the fender? I have a 2021 Lariat 4x4 with stock 20" wheels and would like to get 2.5 level and put 295/60/20s on it. Is the offset of the stock 20" wheels 0? I would prefer to have the tires poke out about 2" from the fender if possible for a wide stance look, but dont want any rubbing.
I just got 35s put on my leveled 2021 F150 a couple of days ago. They fit with with the smallest bit of rub on the front passenger rear crash bar. Using a hydraulic RAM i was able to push the rear crash bars back a couple of inches and I didn't have to do any cutting or trimming on at all. It can also be done with a bottle jack and bar or strong length of wood. Feel free to leave me contact info if you want more details. The tires are Ridge Grapplers 295/65/20 on a 8.5 inch wide rim with a +35 offset and I have a 2 inch level. The tires are 35.1 inches and 11.6 wide.
Yes because of the 11.6 width. The problem isnt the diameter, its the width. Most guys run 35x12.5 and they require significant trimming/crash bar spreading to fit on a 4" lift
You don’t need a level, a lift or aftermarket rims to run 35s on an F-150. The rubbing problems are usually a function of added width rather than circumference coupled with modified wider rims/rims with non-standard offset/backspacing. I run a set of Kenda Klever R/T in a 35x10.5r17s on the stock rims with no lift and I have no issues.
I have 34.5x11.5 on 20” wheels on a 2019 f150 with 2” Roush Fox 2.0 system. Have wheeled it pretty good, and no rub. I don’t run wheel spacers tho, and am using stock STX rims.
I would love to see you guys do a video about the longevity of a front suspension with a 2.5 inch strut spacer. I think how long your truck will last with these installed is a worthwhile video subject.
You willing to wait a decade or more for that? I have a feeling if we did a check in at every 10k miles the video would be the same- "Everything is still fine!"- that's coming from myself and countless others who have had leveling kits installed for 100k miles without issue. -Justin
@@americantrucks that's good to hear. I just purchased a 2021 Ford F150 XLT 4X4 Off Road edition and keep going back and forth as to should I get a 2.5 level or not. Of course reading about suspension issues has weighed heavily on my decision but your comment put me somewhat more at ease.
Great video! Those 33s do look good. Next up, raptor wheel to bring the offset back in check and try those 35s again maybe? Just borrow the wheels from your Raptor if you still have the stock set-up (can't remember if you do)
@@americantrucks oh wow, what a bummer. Guess it's nice to have larger brakes but so many like using raptor wheels. Guessing since he new raptor still uses 17's then the New F150 will need Raptor take offs from the 3rd gen Raptor then? Or are Raptor take offs dead on 2021 and newer F150s?

Great video! I just got a 2022 F-150 and was talking to a guy at the offroad shop about pretty much the exact setup you determined to have a lot of rub. I think the 33" would look great as well, and no rub problems.

So I didn't have time to review all my previous posts so I could clarify but in a nutshell: Yes, I tried 35's on plus 12 offset wheels and they DID rub. Rubbed on both front and rear crash bars as well as plastic lower valance. Trimming valance was easy, but living with the crash bar rubbing wasn't going to fly with me in the long term; I went back to 33's and am very content now. Cheers.
Great Video! It would be awesome if y'all did some of these fitting videos with F150 FX4 trucks. Many leveling kits and all kinds of parts don't work with FX4 F150s. So WHAT DOES work? Would be great to see some of your set ups! The mammoth looks good, but I still see some front end rake. I'm not one for cutting or trimming, so I'd play around with adjusting offset and tire size first; just me. Great set ups and cool video!
Ok, so honest question here. Lots of parts don't work with "FX4?" Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't "FX4" some skid plates, monotube shocks, additional trans mode added (Rock crawl), and a decal? Why wouldn't ANY parts that fit a non-FX4 F150 fit the FX4? And before I hear that the suspension is lifted/better, we measured my buddy's 2020 FX4 and its the exact same height as my 2021 non FX4 4x4. Am I missing something?
@@peruser155 fx4 is just extra skid plates and a beefier suspension lol. Idk what this guys talking bout cause fx4 is just a trim package and nothing more.
Thoughts on a 34" tire with a 0 offset rim with a 2.5" leveling kit? I'm assuming there will be some rubbing but is it minor plastic trimming or major crash bar trimming?
I'm running Terra Graps, 275/65/20. True 34'' tire. No rub when it was stock and I've leveled it since then. Cool thing about this size is tire is still a P-Metric. Weight is similar to stock 33'' and ride hasn't been affected like the LT tires do.
@@americantrucks I like all of your exhaust videos for the F150, you explain and show the install and rate just how loud the system. Even a Go-pro on the bumper so we hear outside

I have a 2.5 leveling kit on a 2013 Ford F150 XL and running 315/70R17 that are 34.4 inch tall tires on the factory steel wheel and there is a bit of rubbing on the front plastic rubber shield but that is it. While off road and bumpy roads nothing rubs.
Good stuff. Am hoping you can answer a few question for me. I'm new to all these but thanks to TH-cam am learning a lot. I am going back and forth between getting a full size suv like a gmc yukon at4 or denali, or an f150 platinum or raptor, leaning to the f150's. I'd like to level the f150 or lift the suv, say 2-3"s, and add bigger tires. Love the 35's, at least on the f150's, though the 37's on the raptor if i go that route would be awesome. In any case, I see f150's leveled with 2", 2.5" and 3", so which actually levels an f150, and if it's the 2", and you do a 3" level, does that mean you add a 1" lift in the rear, or are you left with it dancing around level but not being exactly level depending on which number of inches you get? And two, the yukons and tahoes and escalades have adjustable air suspension and magna ride. How will a lift on such an suv affect those, affect the air ride? If normal minimal road clearance is 8", and in 4H you can go to 9" and 4L to 10", if you add a 2" lift, does that also raise the air ride, so that normal road clearance becomes 10", 4H can go to 11" and 4L to 12", or if not, does the lift screw up the effectiveness of the air ride? Or is there something to be done to raise the air ride also, and does that cause problems? Thanks. I'm not sure who to ask or where to go to learn about this air ride question.
Thanks for the video. I am curious the height of the highest point of the cab leveled on the 33”s. Assuming the highest point is probably at the two antennas on the back of the cab? Garage is only 6’6”
The problem is the use of the clown mall crawler wheels. Look into a true off-road spec wheel, 17” 8.5 inch wide wheel. For a better example look into method wheels. Your welcome
For all the guys back here saying 35s do fit. 0 OFFSET not the 40 something stock wheels. 35s looks good with some poke! nor i want to test my 44 stock 18s with a 1.5" spacer and see how it does!
Justin, would they rub with a 3” front level instead of the 2.5”? I put a 3” front level puck on mine with 20x9 0 offset series 81 wheels.. curious if the extra 1/2 inch would help clearance 2021 2wd stx
From the looks of your above video it barely touches the plastic which you could trim with a pair of scissors.. can't really see the rear crash bar but it looks like a pretty easy fit? By the way what size are those rims are those 18in and 20in or what? And are they 9 wide or 10 wide? Great video by the way thanks. My main concern was hitting the spring perch on the strut on the inner. So I am assuming the 35 1250 with a 0 offset does not hit the spring perch on the strut?
I have a Roush Fox 2.0 coil over setup on my 2019. Run Coopers new Hybrid tire (Rugged Trek). 34.6x11.5r20 with stock Wheels. I’ve wheeled it, and doesn’t rub. SuperCrew/3.55 gears/4x4/Electronic Locking Diff/ Max Tow/ 3.5 Ecoboost. Crash bars in tact. I know it doesn’t rub, because I have used Fluid Film twice a year since it had 3 miles on it, and there is no rub marks on any crash bar, front or back. The K02s run small to size, and would fit. You could probably run 35x12r20 K02s and wouldn’t rub.
@@zonacrs Yes, I love those Reg Cab, Short Bed 5.0 Trucks! All I owned for years was Reg Cab (Short/Long Beds)! Had a few kids, need something bigger now.

@@bigf1502 Yep, deciding between the Fox 2.0 system and Bilstein 6112 fronts and 5160 rears. I got the tow package combined with the snow plow prep and 360 camera system. Payload is pushing 1,800 pounds. Not bad for a 122" wheelbase truck. Sure is nice to sling around town and trails. My four door Tundra was huge by comparison and the back seat was a grocery and sh*t catcher most of the time. EDIT to change the front to 6112's.
I did a 2 inch and 33's with negative 12 offset. Didn't seem to rub , then I found a killer pothole that threw the front end off. Had it aligned 3 times and it rubs the front and rear crash bars. Any ideas before I trim the crash bars?
You guys fail to recommend matric tires, which happen to be narrower, thus rub not as much, or at all 275/65/20s , which are 34", fit on a stock FX4 F150 with stock 20 rims.
I have 2021 Powerbost with 33x12.50R20 a 2in level kit and minor shave to inner front bumper. Still rubb at wheel lock. Turns are no problem, but hard u-turns is a rub! Help me! Do I cut lil into support beam bar😱 next?!?!?
The change in aerodynamics caused by the leveling kit along with the added weight of larger tires will absolutely negatively affect your gas mileage. You're likely to lose 1-2 mpgs depending on what engine you have. -Zach
For all you naysayers that say you can't go more than three inches on a leveling kit on an F-150, I'm here to tell you you're wrong, do you hear me American truck? I put a three and a half inch spacer and added a quarter inch lean spacer, which added another half inch by the way, on top of my struts, for a total of 4-in lift, along with a new set of aftermarket upper control arms, added a small block to the rear axle, install my 35-in all terrain on 20-in rims,had a complete front end alignment, and a truck rides excellent, contrary to popular belief! so don't let these guys tell you that you can't go any higher than two and a half or three inch leveling kit, it's just not true!
I would absolutely make the minimal modifications needed for it. I’m running a 35/12.5/17 on my 2011 f150 with a Rough Country 2” leveling kit. I did have to do some in my opinion minor trimming. But with the Fuel Sledge D595 and a -12 offset it’s got a little poke and looks great.

Great Video! It would be awesome if y'all did some of these fitting videos with F150 FX4 trucks. Many leveling kits and all kinds of parts don't work with FX4 F150s. So WHAT DOES work? Would be great to see some of your set ups! The mammoth looks good, but I still see some front end rake. I'm not one for cutting or trimming, so I'd play around with adjusting offset and tire size first; just me. Great set ups and cool video!
Ok, so honest question here. Lots of parts don't work with "FX4?" Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't "FX4" some skid plates, monotube shocks, additional trans mode added (Rock crawl), and a decal? Why wouldn't ANY parts that fit a non-FX4 F150 fit the FX4? And before I hear that the suspension is lifted/better, we measured my buddy's 2020 FX4 and its the exact same height as my 2021 non FX4 4x4. Am I missing something?
@@peruser155 fx4 is just extra skid plates and a beefier suspension lol. Idk what this guys talking bout cause fx4 is just a trim package and nothing more.
Thoughts on a 34" tire with a 0 offset rim with a 2.5" leveling kit? I'm assuming there will be some rubbing but is it minor plastic trimming or major crash bar trimming?
I'm running Terra Graps, 275/65/20. True 34'' tire. No rub when it was stock and I've leveled it since then. Cool thing about this size is tire is still a P-Metric. Weight is similar to stock 33'' and ride hasn't been affected like the LT tires do.
How about LT285/65R20 Stock versus 2.5" lift?
Can you guys do exhausts next? The MBRP 3 and 4 inch exhausts are out for the 2021's now! Same with Magnaflow catbacks.
We're working on it! Patience is key here! 😁 -Zach
@@americantrucks I like all of your exhaust videos for the F150, you explain and show the install and rate just how loud the system. Even a Go-pro on the bumper so we hear outside
What’s the tire and wheel set up for the 33’s?
Maybe an offset changes this? Seems like a few trucks out there sit on 20” sport rims w 35” AT’s on a 2.5” level? I’m confused
How do the stock UCAs hold up with a 2.5in level? Is it wise to swap them out for aftermarket?
Man hasn’t aged not one bit
I just came from 33x11.50 20 to 35 12.50x20 yes they rub, waiting on level kit, 20x9 wheel +1mm offset I'll be doing the install this weekend I'll let ya know if they rub after that...2013 f150 btw
i assumed that rubbed pretty good 😅
@@davidlrogers I had to remove the mudflaps and some trimming. Still driving it..need new shocks now..so puck will be gone and I'll jump to bilstein 5100
Curious if this same set up would work with a 35x11.5x20?
Won’t work without modification or lift cause that’s what I’m dealing with right now.
Is the only parts rubbing is the crash bar and that plastic in front of the tire
What tires are those? I have those same Fuel Vapor 20” wheels, sitting in Toyo Open Country 34’s. All on a 2.5” level
Thanks a lot! I’m on the fence on 33’s or 35’s. What type of modifications?
What mods to get away with 35? Where was it rubbing?
I would like to see how big of a tire we can get no rubbing or trimming also
I have a 2.5 leveling kit on a 2013 Ford F150 XL and running 315/70R17 that are 34.4 inch tall tires on the factory steel wheel and there is a bit of rubbing on the front plastic rubber shield but that is it. While off road and bumpy roads nothing rubs.
35x10.50 is the way go(295/65r20 with the original wheels)
what if it was a -19mm offfset and the fronnt crash bars removed with icon coil over suspension with upper control arms?
Will 35s fit with a 3.5 SST lift kit with the crash bars removed?
would the 09-14 f-150's be the same with 2.5" level and 35's?
Good stuff. Am hoping you can answer a few question for me. I'm new to all these but thanks to TH-cam am learning a lot. I am going back and forth between getting a full size suv like a gmc yukon at4 or denali, or an f150 platinum or raptor, leaning to the f150's. I'd like to level the f150 or lift the suv, say 2-3"s, and add bigger tires. Love the 35's, at least on the f150's, though the 37's on the raptor if i go that route would be awesome. In any case, I see f150's leveled with 2", 2.5" and 3", so which actually levels an f150, and if it's the 2", and you do a 3" level, does that mean you add a 1" lift in the rear, or are you left with it dancing around level but not being exactly level depending on which number of inches you get? And two, the yukons and tahoes and escalades have adjustable air suspension and magna ride. How will a lift on such an suv affect those, affect the air ride? If normal minimal road clearance is 8", and in 4H you can go to 9" and 4L to 10", if you add a 2" lift, does that also raise the air ride, so that normal road clearance becomes 10", 4H can go to 11" and 4L to 12", or if not, does the lift screw up the effectiveness of the air ride? Or is there something to be done to raise the air ride also, and does that cause problems? Thanks. I'm not sure who to ask or where to go to learn about this air ride question.
Does the 2.5 still have a small rake
Thanks for the video. I am curious the height of the highest point of the cab leveled on the 33”s. Assuming the highest point is probably at the two antennas on the back of the cab? Garage is only 6’6”
What are the specs on those rims?
Run a +18mm offset, should fit.
hi, does this also apply on a 22 XLT model?
How did you solve the issue of the leveling kit being backwards????
The problem is the use of the clown mall crawler wheels. Look into a true off-road spec wheel, 17” 8.5 inch wide wheel. For a better example look into method wheels. Your welcome
What about 34s? Would they work?
What size rims?
For all the guys back here saying 35s do fit. 0 OFFSET not the 40 something stock wheels. 35s looks good with some poke! nor i want to test my 44 stock 18s with a 1.5" spacer and see how it does!
Stock wheels are positive offset.
@@KZ-qs4rw your correct I fixed my comment it was late when I wrote that lol
What is the reason for taking off the axle nut? Sometimes I see the dust cap pulled off and nut spun off but the nuckle stays mounted
34" / 295/70's seem to be best big tire without the fuss of cutting for these trucks
Do it with stocks and 35s
Thanks for the very informative video. Just got a 2023 f150. If i lift it 4 in, will the 35s fit w/o rubbing?
You will be able to fit 35's with a 4" lift without rubbing.
I have a 2021 sport 4x4. 295/65r20 on stock wheels 0 rub
If it rubs at stock height its gonna rub with a level when suspension cylces
Exactly! Baffles me that this concept is so hard to grasp for some...
Justin, would they rub with a 3” front level instead of the 2.5”? I put a 3” front level puck on mine with 20x9 0 offset series 81 wheels.. curious if the extra 1/2 inch would help clearance
2021 2wd stx
From the looks of your above video it barely touches the plastic which you could trim with a pair of scissors.. can't really see the rear crash bar but it looks like a pretty easy fit? By the way what size are those rims are those 18in and 20in or what? And are they 9 wide or 10 wide? Great video by the way thanks. My main concern was hitting the spring perch on the strut on the inner. So I am assuming the 35 1250 with a 0 offset does not hit the spring perch on the strut?
Curious about 34x10.5 BFG all terrain KO2's on stock rims with a 2" lift. They measure out at 33.5". Do you think they would fit with no rubbing?
I have a Roush Fox 2.0 coil over setup on my 2019. Run Coopers new Hybrid tire (Rugged Trek). 34.6x11.5r20 with stock Wheels. I’ve wheeled it, and doesn’t rub. SuperCrew/3.55 gears/4x4/Electronic Locking Diff/ Max Tow/ 3.5 Ecoboost. Crash bars in tact. I know it doesn’t rub, because I have used Fluid Film twice a year since it had 3 miles on it, and there is no rub marks on any crash bar, front or back. The K02s run small to size, and would fit. You could probably run 35x12r20 K02s and wouldn’t rub.
@@bigf1502 Thank you, I appreciate it. 2021 4x4 standard cab short box with the 5.0. Real sleeper and I want to run the factory steelies.
@@zonacrs Yes, I love those Reg Cab, Short Bed 5.0 Trucks! All I owned for years was Reg Cab (Short/Long Beds)! Had a few kids, need something bigger now. Would love to have one again one day, supercharge it too! Lol! I had an 85 K10 with a six inch lift, 383 stroker, and a 4 Speed! It was a lot of fun! Your truck would look great with the lift and 34s! Check out the Roush Fox 2.0 system for your truck. I am so happy I went with the coil overs instead of pucks on my Ford.
@@bigf1502 Yep, deciding between the Fox 2.0 system and Bilstein 6112 fronts and 5160 rears. I got the tow package combined with the snow plow prep and 360 camera system. Payload is pushing 1,800 pounds. Not bad for a 122" wheelbase truck. Sure is nice to sling around town and trails. My four door Tundra was huge by comparison and the back seat was a grocery and sh*t catcher most of the time. EDIT to change the front to 6112's.
Would 35x11.5x20 on stock wheel be fine?
That’s what I’m ordering soon
I did a 2 inch and 33's with negative 12 offset. Didn't seem to rub , then I found a killer pothole that threw the front end off. Had it aligned 3 times and it rubs the front and rear crash bars. Any ideas before I trim the crash bars?
You guys fail to recommend matric tires, which happen to be narrower, thus rub not as much, or at all
275/65/20s , which are 34", fit on a stock FX4 F150 with stock 20 rims.
Yea exactly and look also extremely good on a 2.5 inch lift . That’s what I have and no rubbing and looks great
Did the 2.5 inch leveling kit make the front higher than the back? Just checking, want to buy this leveling kit for my 2021 f150
Yes. I installed a 2.5 in my 2020 fx4 and there was a little squat. I added bigger blocks in the rear
@@Sdm07120 Really? I'm still an inch lower in the front.
Yes man
I have 2021 Powerbost with 33x12.50R20 a 2in level kit and minor shave to inner front bumper. Still rubb at wheel lock. Turns are no problem, but hard u-turns is a rub!
Help me! Do I cut lil into support beam bar😱 next?!?!?
What about 35x11.5
Hello , does anyone know if the stock Ford levelling kit is 2.5?
The 2" level on 35s, how will or does it effect mpg's?
The change in aerodynamics caused by the leveling kit along with the added weight of larger tires will absolutely negatively affect your gas mileage. You're likely to lose 1-2 mpgs depending on what engine you have. -Zach
@@americantrucks I have the 3.5 powerboost. Thanks.
What do you guys think of your V-8 with the cylinder deactivation? any issues so far? Do you notice at all when the cylinders turn off?
This is a video about tires.
For all you naysayers that say you can't go more than three inches on a leveling kit on an F-150, I'm here to tell you you're wrong, do you hear me American truck? I put a three and a half inch spacer and added a quarter inch lean spacer, which added another half inch by the way, on top of my struts, for a total of 4-in lift, along with a new set of aftermarket upper control arms, added a small block to the rear axle, install my 35-in all terrain on 20-in rims,had a complete front end alignment, and a truck rides excellent, contrary to popular belief! so don't let these guys tell you that you can't go any higher than two and a half or three inch leveling kit, it's just not true!
Its not a matter of if you can, its a matter of if you should. I'd love to see how those front CV's look /\... -Justin
If the tires don't fit, you must acquit!
Try 35/11.5R20’s instead of 12.5’s
if I want 33'' tires on my 2.5'' leveled F150 what aspect ratio do I order for my 20'' stock rims...will 33''x12.5x20 fit
11.5s?
3” level on stock wheels with 35x12.5 no rub
Fr ?
I would absolutely make the minimal modifications needed for it. I’m running a 35/12.5/17 on my 2011 f150 with a Rough Country 2” leveling kit. I did have to do some in my opinion minor trimming. But with the Fuel Sledge D595 and a -12 offset it’s got a little poke and looks great.
I guess, If you consider removing both front and rear crash bars 'minimal'... -Justin
@@americantrucks Justin- Well maybe not lol. But in my case on my truck it worked. Anyhow love the videos and content. 🤘🏻
@@americantrucks why would you have to remove rear? Never heard that needed to be done, like ever.
