97-03 Lift

I have an '02 SuperCab FX4 and wanted to get off the stock ride height.

I was hoping to get away with a body lift and cranking the torsion bars to fit some 35" Boggers, but I am guessing there's no way, huh?

If I need to go with a suspension lift to get some 35" tires under the beast, I might as well go as big as possible. Can someone link me to the least expensive suspension lift out there for this truck? Also, where is a good place to go for some wheels and tires. If I am going bigger, I might want to go with some 20" and some hulks, etc.

Does anyone have a kit, wheels, tires, etc for sale?

Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can fit a 35x12.50 tire on a 97-03 F-150 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift. In fact, several people have fit 35x12.50's on completely stock 4x4's by using the OEM wheels. They do have rubbing on the frame at full steering lock with that setup however. If you decide to go with a suspension lift, I'd suggest a 6 inch Fabtech or 5 inch RCD lift.

i agree with wandell
the fabtech & the rcd are both great lifts
but i recommend the rcd over the fabtech, especially since it comes with better shocks (bilstein)
