hey i have a stock 97' f-150 extended cab 2x4. I wanted to put a 3" body lift on it and run 275/70/16 br goodwrich all-terrains. I began thinking that the lift would leave a hole underneath the body in the wheel well and you could see through to the other side. is there a way to fix this or should i drop down to a 2" body. any information on this is needed. thanks

 

they make gap guards! search for em man!

 

ok but what do you think about dropping down to a 2" body lift.

 

Go ahead and do the 3 inch body lift or you will just regret it later. Bigger is better. I have pics of my Gap Guards in my gallary.

 

go 3". It barely noticeable. My wife is 5' and she gets in and out no problem.

 

ok im gonna go with the 3" body lift but i dont know if the 275/70/16 tires i have coming are gonna look big enough with the lift. should i go with the 285's or stay lower

 

I'd go with the 285's personally.

 

id go bigger. I plan on going with BFG AT KO's 285/65/20 or 305/55/20 when my oem wear down. WHat tires did you order?

i ordered bf goodwrich at 275/70/16. but if i got the 285's would they not rub when i turned and when i bounced around would they not rub against the suspension.

 

No, they would fit fine.

 

dont go the cheap route. you will regret it.
