lots of side wall flex for sure. i run 37x13.50r18s 18x9 rim and it flexes a ton. if thats something you can get used to then its not the biggest thing in the world but it makes it hard to tow and until ur used to it the truck will be a little hard to drive

I hear people saying you can fit 35's no problem with a 2.5" leveler kit? My idea of a level kit is something you put to level the front to the ride hight of the rear right??? Just wondering, my 05' FX4 is already level and im wondering if i can fit some 35's under her seeing how i need new tires and i would like to go bigger! Just dont want any rub...

Your sig says you have an F250, so yeah it might be. To do a proper "leveling kit" on a 250 you need the springs in the front (or the spacer blocks) and the F350 rear blocks. The 350's sit about 2" taller in the rear.

Sorry a bit confused... I would still need to put a spring kit in the front even though its level already?? or is the FX4 excluded from this? thanks for the help!

No you would still want to put new springs or the spacers up front to get 35" to clear good.

Yes, because you're pickup is a 3/4 ton it's already "level". The 350's have another 2 inches in the rear due to a bigger block. So you'll need the 350 rear blocks along with the level kit of your choice. I had to do the same thing on my last 250. Good luck to you.
