I was debating on getting 20" rockstars and dropping the truck 2" in the back, or getting 18" rockstars and 33" tires and lifting the truck 2" in the front and maybe a 3" body lift in the future? any comments about that or any unseen problems i might run into? will i have to redo ANYTHING?

 

the truck is single cab and white.. i am doing it mostly for looks, but i will probably go play in my friends pastures if i get tempted enough lol...

 

Not sure about the body lift, but I put a leveling kit and OEM block on my '08 regular 2WD reg cab and couldn't be happier. I'm staying away from running taller tires for now (have 265/70/17's) just because I don't want to re-gear right now.

 

do u have any pics of ur truck lifted? and also, if I ran 33s on my truck would i have to regear?

 

my 2wd with a 3" level, 2" aal and 285/70/17's

 

Depends on what gears you have in the truck. Mine are 3.55 any any taller I would really be bogging down. 285/70/17 are almost 33" (32.70), 295's are a bit over (33.3). I only went with the 1.5" to keep the angles close to stock. So a mild lift but looks 10x better to me. Keep in mind mines a V6, so the less tire/wheel weight the better! You should have no problems doing 285's.

 

drop it

 

I dropped my last f150 (2003 stepside) i just thought i would go with something different, and down here in texas in the countryside a lifted truck just sticks out

 

what is a aal? and how much did all of your lift cost? because i think that i want to do a 5" lift kinda like your truck.. except mines a 6 cylinder

jack her up!!!

 

thanks =)

are there any recommended lifts i should use?

I was gonna order the 2" level from topguncustomz for like 80 bucks and when i get around to selling my old rockstars and gettin another set i will probably have enough to drop 300 and put on the 3" body lift.. Unless anybody has a better idea on how to lift/ what to use?

 

Up!

 

Leveling kit with and AAL and bigger tires on the stock rims. Huge aftermarket wheels looks rediculous on a truck that is still low to the ground.

 

I have an 05 4.6 STX and I have 285/70R 17's and it rides like stock with a 3" Hell Bent Steel Leveling Kit. On my next set of tires I will be running 30570 R 17's. Lift it.
