hey guys new to the just got my 2000 f150 mostly stock no lift already started my build 3" body lift 3" keys & blocks bushwacker cut outs 20x12 fuel mavericks -44 offset. heartthrob exhaust hids led bar fog lights. existing mods are volant intake sound system and dual electric fans. so im looking for someone who is running the same -44 offset or bigger i am wondering if my fender flares are going to cover my tires even with my -44 offset ill be running 35/13.5/20 toyo mts.

 

3" keys were a bad idea, it's gonna wreck your ball joints, tie rod ends, and cv axles. Cranking the factory ones would've been a better way to go.

Either way, without a decent amount of more lift, your going to have a good amount of rubbing issues with that wheel and tire choice.

And no your tires will still stick out past the fender flares by an inch or two guessing off the top of my head.

 

have been around many f150s lifted many ways suspension and 3" keys no more then a normal truck with the same out of off road lift will clear it just fine iv done the math (3 year tire tech) i just wasnt sure on how far the flares stick out cause they havnt showed up but i will post pics once it is all to show alot of people that everything clears. alot of people on the other forums that have a bitter taste about it not sure why everyone has their own style.

 

Except that a full suspension lift would use a form of a drop down crossmember to maintain the factory angles. 2" is generally considered the acceptable maximum when the angles are changing, 3" is pushing your luck, there's a chance it could be fine, there's the higher chance you could be replacing those parts every 10k or so miles. There's plenty of members on this site and others that'll agree with that statement.

And yes 6" would be a good height for those tires had you gone with around a 10" wide wheel.

Not trying to be bitter here, trying to offer advice. But take it as you will, as I'm not a tire tech, good luck.

 

yes a suspension lift would work best but its on a budget build i have 06 powerstroke with 6" so getting close to the same as a 6" for less then half the price will work and not hurt me since the f150 is only a toy. i do appreciate your help info and input alot please dont miss understand my typing for a smart a## tone im not in anyway and a 20x10 would make no difference if i went with a normal offset but i a 20x10 with a -44 would still stick out the same by going with a wider wheel 20x12 i was able to achieve a much larger lip like i wanted.

 

Do you have any of these mods, like the lifts, already on the truck? Cause if not like the others say I would say stay away from the key lift. But other then that I would love to see how this turns out.

 

I'd like to see if those wheels will even fit without hitting/rubbing like crazy. I want them to cause I'd like 20x12s with -10 to -20 or so on a 35x13.5/20 in the future but don't think they'll fit even with 8" of lift. -44 is the most I've ever seen and I agree they'll still stick out some.

 

Sorry guys long day at work just got home the 3" body lift just showed uo today and keys and blocks will be here tomarrow. Its all going on soon was going to wait for better weather before the wheels go on but I think ill just enjoy proving some people wronge. The reason I logged into this forum was because I herd a guy was running -76 but yes I will post pics when its all on.

 

-76 has got to be insane-o-crazy! I'm looking forward to seeing the pics when you get everything done though.

 

pics will be coming soon guys all parts are in its going on soon.

 

Sweet! I'm gonna try and keep this in my recent threads

 

sorry guys not to fast on updating on this forum. i have put the 3" keys and blocks cv axles are pretty hard so im going to lower the front a little to get the right angle on it. if i have to ill put the stock keys maxed out and go to 2" blocks or 1" and half blocks. i also put a 3" body lift on already. you will see before pics next to my old powerstroke that has 4" lift on 35's and the white f150 is a 4dr with a 4" suspension with a 3" body
lift.

day light pics are before knight pics are after.

 

Tried to give you warning man, but at least your gonna get the angles back to an acceptable amount versus leaving it as is. Any eta on when the wheels and tires are going on?

 

not yet wether is still ugly getting salts throwing out still got do my trans flush and get my rear end rebuilt and shocks on before the wheels though all getting done during the nasty weather lol so it ready to rock when the time comes

 

Understandable, that road salt would love to get on those new wheels haha. Any updates on the truck?
