This falls under the category of "Just because you *can* doesn't mean you *should*.
And yes, no problems at all with 285's.
Unless you need every inch of clearance possible, I see no reason for 35's other than appearance (and in my opinion, they look silly stuffed on without a lift), and the decreased performance and potential clearance problems just aren't worth it.
Yeah it’s just because I like a lifted big truck. Lol
I could never imagine going down to 33's. Although i've made the joke everytime I had to jump into the truck with a cripple ankle or knee, lol.
This is before the lift and adding the running boards back on. I think it was a 1.5" level. (Just bellow whatever the forum said the accepted allowance was.) It has a nice rake to it so it doesn't look retarded and squats level when towing.

That feeling wears thin once everything begins to wear out. It will occur too quickly, then wear are you at lol.
It's definitely more cost effective to do it correctly from the start. I'm saying, gearing for size, be easy on the bar crank, the easier the better. Makes a huge difference on front end wear and comfort.
If you want to run 35's, it's going to be pricey to set up right. But even more so with a bad just because set up with 35's. Wears it out too fast...$$$$$ plus plus lol.
These trucks look great w/33's and a 4" suspension lift. That will keep the crank down, you have 'good enough' power, it's cheaper, it will last and drive great.

Yeah I don’t have the money for the lift and I flip truck a lot lol. And I got use to the ram And had the hemi on 35s could burn tires for days. But I have cranked tbars before when I had my black 03. I’m prolly goin with the 285s since I don’t want to pay for the lift and definitely not the gears
In that picture it’s just the keys turned up slightly and F250LD 2200lb 5 leaf springs. All new bushings & Moog part’s with the F250LD calipers & expedition rotors.
Nothing crazy, I just tried to do the best I could with HD Ford parts.
Hey Wolvee, didn't you try a body lift once, but didn't like it ? That was you right ?
Did you remove it ?
I still have the BL but this picture was from before I installed it. I’ll pull it eventually and go with a RCX minimal lift. It always seems like there’s something more to do to the truck so I just wait for the sales or project naturally point me in that direction. The BL looks great but it creaks and pops a bit too much. I’d rather have better suspension geometry and a quality kit than turning Keys even for the 1.5” I have mine turned up. The truck still ride good but I know it could be better. I’ll get to it eventually.

Between gears and a suspension lift of choice, it's a pretty good hit to the wallet...then tires and rims, - ouch! Specially all at once.

Thats my issue. I don’t mind putting a set of tires but if I don’t buy a truck with a lift I don’t see the point in spending 500 on a lift 600 on wheels 1000 on tires just to look good lol
