yet another newb...

Hey, my names Greg, i am 16, and i live in washington. As of the fall of 2011 i bought a 95 f-150xlt 302, 5speed manuel, regular cab, short bed, it was all (besides the rancho shocks) stock. since then i have bought a new (stock)front bumper, side rails, tool box, built my own cab gaurd, Ultra Drifter 16x8 wheels, Goodyear Duratrac 265/75r16 tires, pioneer 3200(if im correct im sure thats the style) stereo, and had an oil pan gasket fixed. what i would like to do next is get a 4" suspension lift, but im not sure how it will look with my 265/75r16 and i would rather not wait untill i got 285/75r16.
I will be very great ful for anyone can help me with this, pics of f150s with 4" of lift on 265/75r16 would be wonderful. And i already have got some ideas of what have put on so far, so thts why i decided to join this site.

I had an RCD on my '01. I don't recall if they make one for anything older than a '97 though.
