Default Lift help!

What's up guys?? I'm going to lift my 01 super crew lariat 2wd. I think I'm going to just do 3.5 spindle and a 2" block in the rear! The truck is stock now and I don't want to lift it to much that's why I think 3.5 up front and 2" in the rear, anyways I want to put 33" 12.50 and I don't want any rub.. So is there anyone that has that type of lift or that tire size that could post a pic. I'm curious what It looks like because Google shows so many other lifts and sizes that I can't tell. Also what can I do for the rear of I decide not to do the block? Ad leaf maybe? Will it make it to stiff?

On a 4x4 you can fit 33" tires with just adjusting the torsion bars, not sure about 2wd.

Can someone please help me? I own a 2004 F-150 and put a 5 inch suspension lift. I put 325 60 r 18 tires on the truck and it was rubbing every time I would turn. So I purchased a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit.and put them on and was wondering what size struts I would be looking for because the truck is bouncing a lot when I hit bumps.its got a Rancho suspension. Thanks

What kind of leveling kit did you install. Are they strut spacers?

With those spacers its going to bounce a lot no matter what. Rancho has a strut that is taller so you don't have to use a spacer. Or you can do a coilovers setup with a new upper arm. I have a 3 inch spacer and there is no way to fix the bounce. It's cause your over compressing the coil and got rid of the downtravel.

I will look into that, it wouldn't be that big of a loss. As this leveling kit wasn't too expensive. I've looked at the Rancho website and it always says not available for 2004 F-150. Maybe E Bay?
