ok well if i get a 6" Fabtech lift will i be able to get on 36x15.50s with or without a wheel spacer and cranking the torsion bars.? and i will also need bushwackers lol

 

ive seen a 6 inch lfited f-150 with 38's....i imagine you could....but i have a 2005 f150 so i could be wrong

 

i rub a little and im at 9.5"s of lift. it depends on your backspacing. i think a body lift should be in order.

 

**** man ur rubbing @ 9.5" how the hell am i gonna fit em on 6" haha..o well

 

how the hell are you rubbing man? i barely rub and i have 38's on 8 inhc lift

 

I think you are gonna need a body lift also because of the width.

 

the CST runs kind small its more like a 7".... i only rub when its turned all the way and hit a "very small" bumb. im sure its a little diferent with a 01 f150 you maybe able to fit them.... im pretty sure theres a guy on here running a 6" fabtech and 3" body and 38x15.5 soooo maybe he will chime in.... but im sure his torsion bars are cranked way up. if i were you i would do a body lift its worth is for the look of these tires!!! haha i love them!

 

im assuming the backspacing of my wheel.... i dono like i said the cst isn't a true 8" lift.... but o wel i got upper control arms!

 

yea u do have the UCAS haha.....but thats also when i rub....turned and small bumps.

 

Yeah, I've seen several people fit 38x15.50's (on 10 inch wide wheels with 4.5 inches of backspacing) on 97-03 4x4's by using a 6 inch Fabtech and a 3 inch body lift, but that is an extremely tight fit. You may be able to fit 36x15.50's with just the 6 inch Fabtech, but you will have to crank the torsion bars up all the way and do some trimming. Personally, I'd add a body lift and be sure.

 

yeah yeah im thinkin bout that body lift cuz i wanna make sure im up pretty high, but dont u gotta fix the exhaust and engine compartments, etc when u do the BL?? also, couldn't you fit bigger tires on there if i do the 6" Fabtech w/ the 3" BL? like possibly 37s?

 

The Performance Accessories body lift kits contain everything you need, including front and rear bumper relocation brackets, fan shroud relocation brackets, steering extension, etc. Our trucks work and look great with body lifts.

 

edit, just saw the response up there about the 38s...tigth fit meaning itll be a PITA to go mudding or any offroading? what about 37s on 6" Fab w/ 3" BL?

 

Like I said, I've seen several with 38x15.50's.

 

anyone?
