Question: If I install the Bilstein 5100s to lift myself 1.5 inches, can I run 35 x 12 x 17 tires? if not, now big ? I'm trying to order they wheels and tires and the tire guy's don't know or won't say. 2014 EL.

I don't mind "trimming" personally.I'd like to know this also. I have a 2014 EL Limited with the Bilstein 5100s (Expy models, not F150) all around. I have BFG AT 275/55R20 tires on 20x9 Black Rhino Block wheels (5.5 inch offset, +12 Offset).
I'm extremely skeptical that 35s would fit, but I'd like to fit 33s without any rubbing or trimming.

Good point. I agree, as long as it's plastic. I just don't want to cut metal.I don't mind "trimming" personally.

You and @CommO 33/12.50s should fit. You need 3” up front for 35s to fit on factory offsets and no trimming. I run 3/2 with 35/11.50/20 On factory +44 and they did not require any trimming but we’re super close to needing it. I put 1.25” boras on to push the tires back out of the wheel well and had to move my electric running boards and do some fender plastic trimming. Bilsteins and 33/12.50 on anything from +10 offset your should fitQuestion: If I install the Bilstein 5100s to lift myself 1.5 inches, can I run 35 x 12 x 17 tires? if not, now big ?
