Lifts and other

I wantto make my truck as big as i can make it. I have a 1997 F150 REG. CAB 4X4 AND I AND WILLING TO PAY ANY PRICE FOR THE LIFT KIST AND TIRES. IM TRYING TO FIND A GOOD KIST AND A PLACE TO FIND ONE. ALSO IF I DIDNT PUT A LIFT KIT ON MY TRUCK HOW BIG OF TIRES CAN I PUT ON IT. COULD I PUT BLOCKS ON IT SO IT WILL RAISE THE SUSPENSION.

lifts

rancho makes good suspension lifts. body lift blocks give you no ground clearance....so if you're going for that that won't help you, but they will help you with bigger tires which get you more ground clearance. get the biggest suspension lift and a 3" body lift....you'll have plenty of room for big tires.

and be prepared for your center of gravity to go to the sh&thouse. If your just doing this for looks okay then. But if your looking to have some fun with it than I wouldnt go to that extreme.

That is an extremely well done truck. If youre lookin for big, follow in that gentleman's footsteps. As for rancho, I say no to them. Waaaaaay too overpriced. 4x4 mudder - what state are you in? If youre in AZ or Cali - try offroad unlimited. They are some very professional guys and offer excellent help and will often cut you a discount if you hang around long enough As far as kits go, Id swing for a Superlift 8'' lift with the extended radius arms. The entire kit + arms will run about $1800 or so, and probably $400-600 to install if you have it professionally done. With a lift that size, Id stick with tires around 38''. That will give you the articulation you want while still having some monster *** tires. Stay away from the 44's and stuff, those are rediculous unless you live in a swamp.

Good luck and be sure to post pics
