Hi i just recently bought my first truck and i am doing some work on it and i just have a question for u guys. i have a 98 f150 long box and im running the factory size tires right now but im putting in a 3 inch body lift, so what size tires can i put on after the lift that wont rub or hit and wouldnt mess up my power or nothing like that? and also i want an aggressive looking all terrain tire that arent loud on the freeway like the goodyear wrangler duratrac tires, so do any of u know a tire with that kind of look that wouldnt break my wallet?

 

Tires are gonna break your wallet no matter what. Check out treadwright.com for cheap tires. I plan on ordering a set of the guard dog mt when the time comes

 

Hey thanks man. so what size tires do u think i could fit after a 3 inch body lift?

 

Any increase in tire size, weight,more agressive tread etc. will affect your power. performance. MPG and your speedo and odometer, handleing and wear on suspension parts.not to mention braking. so let your wallet be your guide. as for fit it depends on your suspension and if you want to trim any sheet metal and what type of terain and how much you plan to load.

 

you could fit 33's easy, and 35's roughly! i have 33's on my flareside without a lift

 

You could fit 35's if your truck is a 4x4, but you will have a noticeable power loss unless you get new gears

 

How much did the 33's hurt your mpg?

 

So i got 255/70r16 now so how much would just going up to 275/70r16 hurt my performance and especially my mpg???

And im thinking on getting a performance chip after the lift and tires..so do you guys know what chip works great with a really noticable affect for the money? ive searched and searched online an i havent found anything. i gotta 98 f150 long box with the 4.6
