well heres mine, i cant ever get the pictures to work right, but you can check out my sig

 

 

JT, your truck looks good. that thing really doesnt have a lift? it looks sweer man. i wish i had a screw instead of my scab. it would come in really handy since i have a little one on the way. but i can afford to get another truck.

 

Absolutely love your truck man!!! I Wanna do that to mine but mine(35"s) is a 97' with 4.6 and 3.55 gears...i don't know how long it will last. Did you crank stock keys or do you have aftermarket keys?

 

Thanks for the compliments...

I have been following various F150 forums and have seen others add 35's, so I gave it a shot.

Torsions raised the front 1 3/4". Tires raised it another 2". I have a 5.4 with 3.55's and notice a small decrease in power, but i can live with it.

I think that I will lift the body in the spring because any serious offroad adventure is gonna stuff the sidewalls of the tires into the fender.

 

stock keys turned most of the way in.

 

2003 F150 Supercrew. 15x10 with 33s. No lift, stock. No making fun of my big tent like boat cover. It keeps the bird crap off my speakers and tower.

 

JT- how rough is that ride with the 35's and torsion bars cranked? it must be brutal!

 

Thanks for the info pal! mine is not near as heavyduty as your its not offroad but is 4x4. i only got 3 leaves on back my other offroad had 5....engine and trans are weaker too but i think that pic of your just won me over i gotta do it! Thanks

i think youd be ok without liftin it ive seen sum pretty hardcore 4wheelin on just keyed up with 35's on oem's.

Does it rub any how often?

 

Trimble....When did you paint yur truck? It use to be white.

 

That was the big surprise...Sidewalls on the 35's absorb everything. The ride is almost as good as original. A pothole will give a little jar, but regular bumps are no different. My wife didn't notice any difference.

As far as rubbing, I ground the rear fiberglass to give some extra room. The front fenders are trimmed about an inch. At full turn there is rubbing. I think if it flexes and the wheel is turned that it is gonna rub.

 

Just a billet grill, easy to find. That's one hell of a front bumper man

 

heres mine, its a cletus and bigdad lookalike.

hey cletus, let me know what youre going to do with that grill guard when you replace it with that huge *** bumper.

 

heres mine

 

by far my favorite screw! Sooo clean!
