Thank you all for your help. Since it can't be done, I will just buy the 7.5" fabtech suspension lift to put on it. Because I know the 35s will work with it.

So, the whole truck thing is new to me. I wrapped my cobra up around a pine tree going 130 mph. After that, I bought a 2003 F150 SuperCrew 5.4L 2wd. All I have done to it so far is, bbk shorty headers, magnaflow high cats (2), true dual 2.5" pipes, cherry bomb extreme mufflers (3" in - 2.5" out), 3" tips. And Put a system in it. Im graduating in about two weeks, and part of my graduating gift is $5,000. So i have Decided Its time to lift the truck. I've been doing some research on putting a body lift and 35" wheels with 18" rims. As well as some research on horsepower and mpg gains. But my main problem is if my body lift and wheels I want will work. Here's what I want:

3" pa body lift
2" front coil spacer (leveling kit)
18" moto metal mo961 rims (satin black)
35" nitto mud grappler tires (35x12.5x18)


How the hell did you get a Mustang Cobra when you were 13?

Grandpa and dad own a very successful electrical business and grandma is a lawyer. Mom is a computer engineer. Pays to have successful parents and grandparents! Me and my six sisters get spoiled alot. But I do the most because I'm the only boy. The f150 I have now is just temporary, I'll be getting the 2013 supercrew 5.4 fx4 when it comes out and after I finish college I'm getting another cobra.

What would be a good size? I will go all terrains, I'll do the bf Goodrich all terrains. What would be a good size? I will be running 18x9 rims with a 7.5" fabtech suspension lift and 2" coil spacer up front.

Either sell the truck and combine it with the money and get a 4wd or just make your 2wd fast. With 5000 u could supercharge it.
