I have a 99 f150 and i want it to sit on 35's. Im working with a very tight budget because im in school, can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

3" PA body lift $160 from summit, you and a couple friends can install it in a day

 

I dont think that would look right with my bumpers raised and my hitch down so low though. What do you think?

 

Maybe something like this? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/97-03...QQcmdZViewItem Im not worried about ride quality, but i dont want my tires to lean 45 degrees in.

 

Is your truck 4x4? That kit is for a 4WD and is a waste of money. I'm sure Wandell will come along any minute and explain why. If your truck is 4x4, just crank the torsion bars, throw some lift blocks in the back and put on a body lift. You should be able to fit 35s with no issues. That's 5-6 inches of lift for less than $250. Just be sure to get an alignment if you mess with your torsions.

 

nah I have a 3in. bodylift on my 99 and the hitch doesnt look bad at all. O yea PA gives your everything you need in the kit even bumper relocators.

her you can kinda see my hitch in this one.. it doesnt look too bad.. it looks better than all the older hitches you see on stock trucks that hang below the bumper

 

I agree. Go with the PA body lift. Those reindexed torsion bar keys allow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars which creates extreme CV and ball joint angles which leads to premature wear.

 

yea that doesnt look too bad. I guess a body lift is the way to go. 3 inches should let me tuck 35's right?

 

Yes, but they are a tight fit on a 10 inch wide wheel.

 

What would a 3" body lift look like with my 99's stock-size tires? Goofy?

It'll look ok. Plus it will motivate you to save for a set of 33's or 35's!
Also, here a pic of my receiver hitch with the body lift.

 

Yeah! That's what I need to do! Start spending wads of money on the truck in addition to the Mustang. My wife'll love that!
