leaf spring rub help

04ford · #1 (**permalink**) 01-08-2011, 02:17 PM

I have an 04 F250 4x4 lifted 2.5", I'm looking to put 35x12.50x20's on it with a 20x9" or 20x10" wheel. The only concern I have is the tires rubbing the front leaf springs. What is the maximum backspacing I can get to keep the tires from rubbing the leaf springs? Or what solutions are there to this problem? Thanks in advance

4.5" BS is whats needed, but you will not clear without 3" min..in all conditions.

Oh ok I'm running 35x12.50's on it with factory wheels and the only part that rubs are the leaf springs and thats only some of the time. Everything else clears fine.

It took me a 3.5" lift to clear leaf springs with a 4.61" BS wheel and 35 12.50's. Like CT Performance stated above, 4.5" BS is the best choice.
