does anyone in here have a lifted F150? does it have big tires
 
anyone try to push 38 x 15.50 on a F150?

i am trying to put em on my truck and am trying to see what kind of luck others may have had

How big of a lift do you have or are planning to have?

thattruckguy25 12-01-2008 10:09 PM

all in all its almost 12 inches of lift.
3 inch body lift
6 inch pro comp susp. lift
2.5 level kit
8 inch custom leafs in the rear.

i am trying to put a set of 38/15.50/20 toyo mts on it
i don't really think clearance is going to be an issue. i think my problems may come with tires almost 16 inches wide. i have been told i may can expect half shafts and the rack to fail almost all the time

i have seen it done once on another truck but didn't really get the chance to see how it was working out

got a 04 f-150 with 31"s stock...05 excursion, 6" lift on 35"s...i know fabtech makes a simple 8" lift for your application, get that instead of all the lil pieces to make it "big"

thattruckguy25 12-01-2008 10:18 PM

i am not trying to piece it together to make it big. just as big as it needs to be to clear those tires. fyi 8 inches will not do the trick. i must get the body up and out of the way some. hints the body lift. the level kit will be removed if i can clear my tires without it. it doesn't sound like you have anything this big though.

my brother has a 250 with an 8" lift on 38"s...it clears fine, no issues at all

thattruckguy25 12-01-2008 10:22 PM

that is an f250. a little bit bigger fender well than my f150. bigger tires and wheels to start with. the only way i can clear 38s without stacking a body lift and susp. lift is to go 12 inch susp. lift which is only made by rize and a poorly designed kit for the front only. no rear.

i looked in to that option before i settled in on this one.

i am in texas. here we do it big or not at all. i see soccer moms in my town running 35s. i want something more
