Will 35s Fit On Our 2021 F150 With a 2.5' Leveling Kit? - What's Up With That?

Justin adds a 2.5" leveling kit to our brand new 2021 F-150 and test fits some different sized tires! Do 33s fit just fine? Will 35's fit without any rubbing? Watch now to find out

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.

Solid video. My question would be....When does it start to not rub when upping the offset back towards stock? 6mm? 12mm? 20mm?

That's Odd. How about using the Stock Wheels? I have a 2.5" Leveled 2020 F150 running Nitto Ridge Grappler's 35x12.5x20 on Stock Wheels with no rubbing at all. I think the offset is what your problem is. Why are you determined to use a ZERO Offset for your video? There are many other options out there that WILL FIT. I think Stock Ford 20" Sport Wheels are a +44 offset. I think your video is a bit misleading for people who don't understand what offset is. (Your You-Tube question is, Will 35's fit on a 2021 F150 with 2.5" level Kit?) The real answer is YES but, you have to use the right offset.

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 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.

I already made my choice. 35's are on the way. And the Sawzall is coming out with the grinder and some primer.

I'd like to see 285/75s (34.8x11.5) with without lift as those were recommended in earlier video.

[garyyoung]

Would like to see a nice 34" X 10.5 combo on 20" wheels!

[rdsii]

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.

[By_Any_Means_Necessary]

A little trimming and all is good that's light work

[PlatinumPeasant]

I have a 2.25” readylift level on my 21’ platinum and fit 295/60/20 nitto ridge grapplers, fuel blitz wheels 20x9 +20. No rubbing or mods.

[christophercorrea]

Will a 3 inch leveling kit and/or a spacer help?

[skraks]

i would really love to see some negative offset on the 33’s. maybe a 10 wide wheel

[Ishkatan]

Great to see that some things don't work.

[saintsandsin]

Man, I wished you guys would have done a detailed step by step install on the leveling kit. There are only a couple of videos available and none show how to disconnect the new 4WD axle from the hub. :-(

[stevempittman]

Perfect timing for my soon to be bought tires. We appreciate the details & research! 'Preciate y'all!

[jamesloughnan]

I put 33.7 on my 2017 f150 no problem. No need to change my steering geometry

[stumptownwoodworks]

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)

[JF-qcpo]

How about show us how it fits after trimming.

[kcthackery]

Can you put 35's on a 2020 F150 Lariat with a short lift ? Are the crash bars in the way?
