Lowering Problems
I have a 1997 F150 ext cab and was wondering, when I lower it, will the stock
size tire (235/70/16) still work or will I need to go smaller? I put a set of (225/60/16) on it and it looks goofy. Check out my website to see the pics. Any help would be appreciated.

YOU could lower your 4x4 but whats the point of that. A 4x4 should be more toward a lift.
If you want a lower it, why dont you trade for a 2 wd. and get some cash back to buy the lowering kit. That way some one can still use the 4x4 for what it is inteded to stay a little higher that a 2wd truck.
Dont get me wrong but I hate to see some one drop a 4x4.. But its your truck.
good luck on what you do with it.
