How much lift do I need to put on my 2001 2WD F150 to fit 285/75/16? I already got a 3" PA body lift, but what else am I gonna need? And the cheapest way if possible

 

the body lift should be enough. i had just a 2" coil spacer on my old 2wd 97 and with stock wheels i coulda fit 285's. if you have aftermarket wheels you might need to trim a little valance or the bottom of the back of the fenderwell but you should be ok. wandell or someone will chime in and give you a set answer.

 

I agree. I've seen 285's on stock 4x2's using the oem wheels.

 

will they be crammed up in the fender though? Because im wanting to have a good bit of space between them

 

Yep, 285's look very stuffed on a stock 4x2. I'd suggest lifting the truck a little or going with a 265/75-16 (32x10.50).

 

but hes got a 3" body lift on there... i think itll look fine

 

My bad, forgot about that. The 33's will look great.

 

hey wandell...no harm meant,just simply curious but how do you have so much knowledge of tires and wheels?(worked at at tire store, perosnal experience,readig alot etc) you always seem to have the right answer so i was just wondeirng where it all came from.

 

Honestly, I've always loved tires and wheels and have read tons of magazine articles. Most of the fitment knowledge I have comes from the members of this site and FTW. I don't know why, but these numbers just stick in my head for some reason. Weird, huh?

 

haha ive learned a ton from this site and try to remember it to relay it to other people so i understand, thanks for letting me know, i was just curious

 

what tire size would you suggest if I put on a 3" body lift and a 3.5" spindle lift on my 2WD

 

35's... Should fit with no problem.

 

I agree.

 

i had 285/75 on my truck which is a 2wd and a 3 inch body. i was very happy and had no need for any trimming. i did put some pacer 16x10 inch wheels on and had to trim a little of the valence. now i have a ranch hand bumper replacement and no rubbing issues at all

 

do you got any pics pkent
