Sounds like a good plan, but you can save plenty of time and a few dollars not doing the body lift. You can crank your torsion bars to clear the 33s. You have a great looking truck btw.

Default 2001 f150

Thanks, Interior is in perfect condition. It was a one owner and clear car fax report. I was thinking about a 4-6 inch lift with 35's. Was wondering what kind of gas mileage I would expect with that if I go with the typical upgrades like I mentioned above.

I have a 6" w/ 35s and I'm getting 10-12 mpg

Ok the specs on my wheels and tires are: 20x10 Fuel Throttle -24 offset. 35x12.50x20 Toyo Open Country MTs. The only trimming I had to do was on the front inner fender wells with the T-bars cranked

That's crazy because I tried to fit 35s under my 03 f150 with a 2.5" leveling kit and I was gonna have to cut the hell out of the plastic on the lower part of my front bumper and the biggest problem was going to be when I flexed my tire smashing into the frame behind my front wheel well. This was only with a -12 offset so it's amazing you fit them under your truck with just turning the tbolts up. You have to rub like crazy

Well I didn't do any of the suspension. It was sitting like that when I got it. I've just put the wheels and tires on it. But it doesn't have a lift under it so I just figured the previous owner cranked the T-bars.

And the only time I scrub is when I cut it real deep on an incline, but not bad. A -24 offset sticks out farther than a -12. I just had to barely trim the bottom corner of the plastic piece below my bumper.
