Ive got an 04 f150 heritage 4.2 and was wanting some suggestions of modifications for it ive got a few already in mind (exhaust, lights, rims and tires) any ideas on what to get as far as rims and if i should lift it being a v6 im not sure shouldnt be all that bad was thinking 3-6inch

Thanks

 

Post a picture of your truck. It will help get the ideas flowing.

I have know idea if this worked but i put a pic on photobucket tell me if it didnt

 

 

when youre looking at your pic on photobucket you want to copy the bottom link, the one that has IMG next to it

 

as for what to do, general and preventative maintenance, mirrors, and maybe wheels and tires. a big lift with bigger tires will almost require gears which can get spendy, but if you have the money and are wanting to do it, go for it!

 

Dont want to go crazy with the lift probably stay at 3 then no need to dump a ton in to it its my DD

Thanks

 

I think these trucks still look good with a 6" an 33's, which wouldn't need gears. 35's wouldn't NEED them, just would be good

 

If i lifted the truck how big on wheels and tires should i go to avoid doin the gears

 

Wheels make no real difference, you can go as big as you want on those, all personal preference.

Tire diameter makes the difference, but without knowing the gears you have now it's hard to say. If you look inside the driver side door jamb you'll see the axle code, just google it to figure out the gears or post it up here and then we can go from there.

 

I looked and it said h9 and from what ive read is the 3.55 LS

 

I wouldn't go past 35's with 3.55's. I have 3.55's and my tires (roughly 34.5ish) are enough. 33's wouldn't be too bad with it.

Since your 4x4 you can crank the factory torsion bars and fit 33's no problem.

 

How much would just the torsion bars lift it without having to do front end parts

 

You can get about 2", maybe a little more, but I suggest stopping when the truck is level to keep everything in spec and still be able to get an alignment.

 

Its got 275/75r16 on it now with stock rims at 16x7 and they look terrible how much would i be lookin at to just twist the bars and get aligned and new wheels and tires
