Never ending lift research...
Never ending lift research….from a newbee.
After reading each suspension thread twice I have a game plan and welcome feedback. I have 1995 F150 XL Extended cab, 160k miles, 4x4, 302, 3.08 gears. Currently it’s 100% stock with 235 tires.
Truck is a 3rd vehicle for weekends, projects around house, and occasional offroad use in NC mountains or Fort Fisher sandy beaches.
Goal: 1.5” to 2” lift for looks and better clearance on 32/11.5/15 tires with 15x8 rims. I would like 15x10 rims but not sure if there is clearance. I make U-turns daily. Tire size is maxed b/c of gearing.
The Plan:
Front: 1.5” to 2” coil spring. Aftermarket or from F250 equipment.
Rear: Add-a-leaf or longer spring for 1.5” to 2” height
Alignment: Camber bushing change.
Will this setup work? Any help or comments are greatly appreciated!
