Tires Rubbing :(

[e3hartwick]

I recently purchased a 2002 Ford f250 7.3L. Its a awesome truck but I'm having an issue with the tires rubbing.
The truck came with what looks like a 2" leveling kit. It currently has stock rims with 35 X12.50 Yokahama All Terrain tires. When I go to take a sharp turn or a u-turn the tires rub on the Leaf Springs. Is there anything I can do to prevent that aside from a bigger lift? Do you think installing tire spacers would help?
Thanks in advance for the help!

You need to get after market wheels for those tires. 4.5" back spacing on some 16x10(or9) will keep them off of the springs. You may then need to trim bumper a little but that is normal. I wouldn't spend the money on wheel spacers because you should be running those tires on a wider than stock wheel anyway. The 2.5" lift is commonly run w/35" tires. You could also go down to a 285/75 on a stock rim and it will not rub the springs.
