'98 F150 3-door (4.6l) with 5" SuperLift and some extra cranks on the torsion bars up front and 5" Fabtech blocks and Skyjacker long leaf add-a-leafs in the rear. Sitting on 16x10 (-35 offset) Ion wheels and 37" Super Swamper TSLs. No rubbing, except on the lower air dam that used to be under the front bumper. I took it off, but plan on replacing it after I cut it accordingly. Next will be some fender flares and some sort of means to mount the Pro Comp 130 lights I just picked up at the local swap meet.

Yeah, I took the factory blocks out, as I didn't want to have stacked blocks. When we put the Superlift parts in up front, I needed that large of a block to even things out. And that was with actually dropping the front torsion bars so that it would sit even. After I put the add-a-leaf into the back, I was able to re-adjust the torsion bars to where they were and level it back out again. When I have the cash, I am going to just buy a set of lift springs and get rid of the block all together in back.

Good deal custom suspension/ carrier springs out of Canada makes great springs for these trucks if you need a specific height I live in MN so shipping wasn't bad either
