They fit with stock wheels. I have 2.5 in front and the stock F-350 block in the back with 35's on the stock 18" wheels it looks great and there is no rubbing. I worked on a 06 F-250 that had 35x12.50 on the stock 18"s with no lift and they fit. The 20" wheels have the same offset as the 18"s so will be fine. I will try to find a pic.

I may would go bigger but I have to pull several gooseneck trailers and I think the tail end of the trailer will drag to much if I go higher I just want a more beefy look and to sit off the 35/12.50 a little

Yes that is true. A lot of people go with a Bilstein shock that is for a 2" lift. I forget what the model number is but they are about $100 each. Or you can go the cheap route and buy $30 shock extensions and use your stock shocks like I did. I think they work pretty well.

I'm going with the bilsteins because almost 100k on my factory ones I think they have had it

I have 35x12.50x20 Trail Grapplers, I also have a 2.5" block in the front and a 1.5" in the rear, when turning they rub on the mud flaps, if I was to remove those they wouldn't rub, in comparison the Mud Grapplers (35x12.50) I had only rubbed for a little bit then went away with a stock suspension.

ok might be a dumb quest but I have a 04 350 and it has a block in the rear already so if I do the front level do I not need to do the blocks I guess or is it a bigger block. Sorry not trying to highjack but been trying to figure this out too
