Default 2'' TUFF Country suspension lift ?'s

Anybody running this lift?? I'm looking to get this for my truck, because it's cheap & easy to install, and I don't plan on running huge tires/regearing. What size tires(MT's) will I be able to run w/ this lift? Keep in mind i only have a stock 4.2 4x4 auto...

Also, my rear leaf springs is over my axle. This isn't stock is it????


THANKS!

Yeah man. The leaf springs are mounted over the axles, as opposed to under them. Not sure if this is stock??? Or if the guy i bought the truck from did this?

The 2'' lift has torsion keys for the front, and adda leaf w/ the ubolts for the back. Susp. connection is running a sale on it now through 10/8.

Any idea what the biggest size tire/ and wheels would be that that i could run after this lift?? thanks

Yeah i will be flexing off road, so may need the extra room. What size wheels. 15x10's, w/ 33's?? this would work right?

if i did go w/ 35's would they screw up my truck because i have the 4.2auto/ w/ stock gearing???

Leaf over axle springs are stock. They have not used spring under since the 50's on ford trucks. I have seen the same kit from another company and it says you can run up to a 35x12.5 tire. Dont know if i would though with the v6.
