Question 3" Lift

I just got a 2004 F150 Lariat and need some advice on a lift i want a 3" lift with 35 12.50s. If you got any pics of you truck with this please send them. I would like to know what this would look like and if i would have to modify anything else on my truck to make it fit.Thanks

You dont want a 3" either go 2.5 as or 4" rancho or 4.5 rcd, no one here will reccomend a 3" lift b/c of the nasty *** angles up front

x2 go with the as 2.5 or the 4" suspension. the angles you get with the 3" lift will be bad.

So do you think i could fit 35 12.50s with just a 2.5 kit? i really would like a 6" lift but cant afford it. but i still want that mean off road look. and what about the rear with the 2.5?Thanks.

You can fit 35x12.50's on a 4x4 by using the OEM wheels and a 2.5 inch leveling kit. If you want 35's on wider aftermarket wheels, add a 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift also.

I have a 2.5" leveling kit on my '05 4x4. Will 35x12.50's fit on the factory 17x7.5 rims? I thought the rims would be too narrow...

Yes, they will fit and the oem 7.5 inch wide wheels are 1/2 inch narrower than recommeded for a 315mm (12.50 inch) wide tire but several members have run them for 10's of thousands of miles with no problems.
