40s on 6''+3''+2.5''?

would a set of 40s work on a 6'' procomp with 2.5'' spacer and a 3'' body lift.. i have 4'' deaver packs in the back so i know the rear wont be a problem. but i dunno if the front would rub real bad or what.. anyone have any suggestions on whether or not 40s will work or should i get some 38s. becuase my 37s are way to small.

Will they fit with all that? Yes with trimming I think you could fit them under there. Markmayes has 39.5's on his truck. Ask him what his setup is.

You are pushing it on your front end though.

is this a 2 or 4wd truck?

i would not put a 2.5" spacer on top of the 6" spacer that comes with the procomp kit. get the fabtech if you want to run a spacer on the lift

You will be fine. If not you will find a way to make it all work, it won't be hard even if you rub.

Josiah, don't you know a guy running that setup?

I believe he has a grey f150 on 40's. How's his truck holding up?

Yes you can fit those tires with that set-up. Like Josiah said, you may need to do some trimming, but if you really want it, you can make it work.

Your also going to need a re-gear if you haven't already.

specialblends: Since you have a ProComp lift (I do too) I would suggest you get some MX6 Coilovers or Dirt Logic coilovers to go with that body lift. Thats what I will end up doing.Do you already have the stacked spacer setup?
I can only see the stacked spacers along with 40's making your truck ride unbearable. It will cost you, but I think you would enjoy your truck alot more in the long run.

if i could find the right price for some mx-6 or the dirtlogics i would buy them right now.. or if i could at least find them.. anyone got a website where i could get one of them off of? or josiah do you have anymore layin around lol

yes i have the spacer stacked right now.. ride isnt to great even with 37s but the deaver springs are like clouds. i am eventually gonna get 4.88s but i drive to much highway miles right now and wouldnt be able to break them in.

Well that gives me a reason to look at some deavers.....

You only have to keep the gears under 65 for the first 100miles.

Let me know how hard the Body lift install is. I want to tackle that but I keep hearing scary stories.....
