Default Lifted it, what a pain! 3in w/ 35s


Lifted the F-150 just for fun. Went with a 3 inch body and some 35s. Lifting it was fairly straight forward. The rust from a life in the north east was the biggest hurdle! Here is a before and after... I need to get new wheels, wider with a different offset.

Of Course I'm all ready thinking of leveling it out by cranking up the torsion bars a bit... Then I'm thinking....why not go up an inch in the rear... Maybe run 36-37' s....hahah it's a disease!

37s can be done on a bl if you crank the tbars past the 24.25", 27.25" safe zone for you and me. Now you just need to pick up some black step bars to hide the frame and you will be set.

Truck looks good, those are 37's? Not sure about getting steps, I'll see if the wife can still get in!

Oh no man I have 34s. I was just clarifying the 27.25" from the hub to the fender well statement since we both have body lifts.

A can of rustoleum goes a long way too, just to hide our frames.

Tucked 37's with cut out fender flares would make me happy deep down inside. :0)



Big FAT balloon looking 37's or 40's. :0))
