Trucks have a lot more room in the wheel well so there isn't one tire size that works best.  There are websites that do tire size conversion for you.  Once you find out what size tire will physically fit you can use that site to find out what that size correlates to in a different wheel size.  Generally speaking any negative offset on a wheel over 9" in width is going to start pushing the tire outside of the wheel well and you will get mexi poke.

I wouldn't bother with a leveling kit in the front unless you are going to replace shocks too.  By lifting the front end 2.5" with a coil spring spacer you are making the shock travel 2.5" higher in it's stroke. Bilstein makes shocks that are designed for leveled front ends.


spacers+shock extensions would work fine though. No extra flex but still all the same suspension as oem.

It's got 100k miles on it. Spend the extra $250 and put shocks on it while you are in there. Imo.

That's overpriced ..
In 2010 I bought a 2008 F150 for like 22,000
That truck should be like 12,000 tops

Edit: Checked here and the 2005's go from 8-12k

6" of lift just to run 35s?!?!
That seems excessive. I fit 35s on my Jeep with out even lifting it. Now im lifted 2.5" and think i could even fit 37s

Its a jeep thats why the f150 will need a 6 inch lift for 35s 3-4 for 33s 8 inch for 37s and so on



Best choice for smooth ride and nice look would be:

3 Inch Suspension Lift
33inch tires Toyo are my favorites
18-20inch rims

Pm me if u got any other questions
