My truck is in really good shape for being a 98 with 135,000 miles. I really want to lift it. I got a body lift now with 33s. Most people say its not worth the money. Will I have a to change my gears so i can turn the bigger tires?? Will 37's clear with 6'' suspension and 3'' body??

 

Just do it! And yes you can clear 37s with a 6 +3 lift... Im not sure what engine and gears you have, but my 08 5.4L with 3.73s turns 37s no problem (just have to keep it out of o/d)

 

here food for thought.

it is sometimes a better deal for the person, Whom wants to lift a truck, to sell there stock truck and try to find one lifted.

Why, because its cheaper! When you lift (mod) a truck, you do not get out of what you put in! You ALWAYS loose!!

 

Hey thanks for the reply. Ive been dead set on lifting it now for the last 3 years. Its my baby. I dont plan on selling it and i know im not going to get any money out of it.

 

crj pilot thanks for the reply ...I got a 4.6 liter engine and mines a few years older than yours lol but you only live once... your truck is sweet... that was another option get a new one and then lift it...but i really dont want stuck with a payment... great color choice...silver is by far the best color ...always looks clean even when its dirty : )

 

no dont do that. you never know who put the stuff on the previous truck, if its put together correctly or what corners they cut. i wouldnt want to buy a modded truck from anyone.

 

X2...who knows what the previous owner did to that truck.

 

x3 not a great idea. Unless you know the guy selling the truck personally.

to the OP. Do the lift. If you dont like the performance then go to lower gears. 4.56's or 4.88's both will work with 37's

 

If its your baby and no plans to sell it,go all out.Do what YOU want to it and enjoy the results

 

Definatley do it! and you can easily run 37s with that setup

 

To the OP: Do it and don't look back!! You won't regret it. But I would consider gears a must at the time of going to the 37" tires. Personally recommend the 4.88 option to go better with you setup.
I mean, just look at F150_rider's truck - that thing is awesome!!! I'm in the middle of my project right now - just did the 6" Fabtech this last weekend. Have the 3" body lift sitting in the garage to be installed in a few weeks. Let us know what you decide!

 

go for it. I am proof you can run that setup i took my 4.88 gears out and put my 3.73 back in. and it works great.

 

Do whatever you want man, it's your truck. 37s will fit. I'd personally regear, but that's just me.

 

I am running 37 inch pitbulls with a 6 inch suspension and 3 inch body. the only thing i trimmed was the lower bumper valance and a corner off my fender flares and no rubs.

 

salescall, why would you take your 4.88's out and put stocks back in?

i say lift it, run 38's and 4.88's
