I have a 1979 f150 and Ive been looking at lifting it. Ive been bouncing back and forth between a 6 inch lift or a 9 inch lift just because I want the clearance. Any suggestions?? Any tire size info would be great too!

6 inch lift will be your best bet, it may be pushing it at that. any higher and your driveshaft will bind and you will be spitting U-Joints left and right. Im new to the whole 4x4 part but i have been building cars since i was 12. Im new to the tire world too XD Best bet with a 6 would be 35x12.5xwhatever rim you are running. Im currently running 33x12.5x15 with a 4 lift and no rubbing problems.

Thats a good point. I didnt think about my driveshafts at all. Thanks. And yeah ive been thinkin about 35s. Thanks man!!

No problem man, driveshafts can definitly be a b**** to work around XD 35's would give you a pretty good combo of articulation/travel, and they wont rub as much.

Sounds good. And they defnitly can. Ive already had to replace my front driveshaft because the stock one twisted not lookin to relive those days XD
