I have installed the factory rims and tires off our 2008 f350 (King Ranch desiel) The tire size is 275 / 65 R20
On my 2004 f350 (King Ranch 6l desiel) Now the tires rub on the leaf springs front and back of the springs on both the drivers and passanger side of the truck. I should have been more specific they rub when turningon the front end leaf springs about one turn of the steering wheel from max. Will a leveling kit resolve this problem? Or would I be able to install a coil spring suspention on the 2004 f350 since they came out with that type of suspention in 2005? To resolve the tire problem. Or is it not $$ wise and just go back to 16 inch rims?

Hi there, thank you for the donation.

I don't know if wheel spacers are a legal option for you in your part of the world. But as for re configuring the rear suspension just to accommodate the larger wheels. If it was me, I would be going for the 16" option every time.

No Brainer. Go back to the stock wheels. The cost to replace the front end is a lot!
