hello everyone im new on here and just purchased my first 09 f350 6.4 ..all ready have the s&b cai, spartan , and dpf/cat delete pipe my questions is what is the biggest sized tires i can put on without lifting this truck , i was thinking about just getting a leveling kit, but i dont want to go any higher(just yet) cause i need to put equipement in the back of it all the time. just dont want to go bigger and have a rubbing issues. thanks for all you input in advanced

You can squeeze a 35" tire on the truck with no leveling kit. You can squeeze a 37 on with a leveling kit altough i dont recomend either.

I think the best choice is a 35 with a leveling kit.

ok thanks they make a 35" to fit on the stock 20"rim??? and if i get the tires first and then the leveling kit i should be ok for a little bit? will it rub or just when i turn the wheel all the way in

[matt05]

No, maybe on your radius arms, but a lift won't fix that.

I have 35" tires on my truck with no lift and i only rub at full lock in reverse. I would recommend a leveling kit though. Good Luck

I say 35's with a leveling kit!

Yeah, if your looking for very minimal, then 35's with the leveling would be it.

ok so 35's with a leveling kit, or what 33's without leveling kit, and as far as leveling kits goes which one does everyone recommend and how hard are they to put in on my driveway?

33's are the equivalent of the standard tire that's provided on the truck before doing wheel upgrades.

To give you an example, the stock tires on my truck were 275/70R18 this computes out to the equivalent of a 33.15" tire size.

BTW, take a look at the following thread for an example of 37's on a stock truck with nothing but a leveling kit.
