Hey everyone. Im new to the site. I just picked up a White 97F150,single cab Long bed, 4.2V6. My dad got it from his work for 1100bucks, its only got 69k miles and it hasnt seen over 40mph in its whole life.

I have a few questions-

1.If i get a traimaster leveling kit, what size tires can i run? its a 2in. kit

2. If i dont get a lift, whats the max tire size i can run?

3. Anything i can do to hop up the power a little bit?

Thanks in advance everyone! and im glad to be a new member of the site.

 

welcome to the site!!

it depends if your truck is 2wd or 4wd as to what size tire you can run.

search for the "gotts mod" for a cheap intake.

 

^^^ im with stupid

welcome post some pics also

Thanks for the replys! It is a 2WD. ill post some pics up sometime today.

 

I will get some better pics later. Im pretty excited to start making it alot nicer.

Also, can i put bucket seats in it? its currently got the bench seat.

Thanks again guys!

 

Looks good it's got lots of potential man.

Yes you can put buckets in you can even do an expy console haha. I started like you with a plain xl and now it's got all power and leather

 

Awesomee! What are my options for a lift and tires? Im really not wanting to spend over 300bucks for the lift. so im guessing thatll get me the leveling kit, and a 3in body lift.

 

Well for the lift you can do a spacer for 40 plus alignment or coils for 100 plus alignment or bl for bout 175 or spindles for about 350 plus alignment

They'll give you (in order) 1.5" 2" 3" 3.5" and alone each one should get you 33"s depending on the wheels you use

 

Thanks for that info man, What would be be the best place to get those at? if you can give me a couple links to some good sites i would appreciate it alot. I'm pretty new to all of this.

 

depends which one you want to go with. amazon has the daystar spacer for 40 shipped and the Performance accessories BL

for spindles id look at doetsch or rough country and same with springs

 

Sweeeet. Before i had this truck, i had a 98 Explorer 4x4 with a 3in body and 33's. but back in Febuary i rolled it. now it sits in a junk yard somewhere lol.

 

ouch that sucks man

 

look up mmmbuckles his truck is the same as yours. while long bed 2wd 98 and he has spindles and coils with 3" rear block and 33"s iirc
