More Lift!!

i have a 98 f150 with a 4.6l. i already have a procomp 4 inch lift. i am already craving more lift. i was thinking a three inch body lift and cranking the t-bars. if i do that what is the largest size tire i could fit without rubbing. i can trim the fenders too.

I believe you will have to trim a little bit depending on which wheels you have.

If you crank max the t-bars 37's should work. If you dont 36's would look pretty cherry too. MY 38's used to rub with the 6"+3", so i went to town on the trimming. But the bars arent cranked. They did clear when they were cranked to da max. but i kept tearing cv boots so i brought her back down.

i had my t bars cranked up like 1/2 inch but my cv joints are still pretty strait. what would i have to do for the rear to fit the 36 or 37s? my 33s tuck perfectly in the rear wheel wells. in my town there was a guy with a 4+3 setup with 40 boggers. it was insane.

***** i would really like to throw on some 37s but i really dont want to rub. i dont mind some trimming but what do you mean by massive trimming. im from big island kona side. i need bigger tires because the lava rock is gnarly around here. every time i go ulua fishing i have to ramble down insane a'a. so you think my engine would ***** with 37s haha.
