Show off your lift.

My obsession with clearance lights has enveloped me. However, I refuse to run clearance lights without a lift, or at least a leveling kit with bigger tires.

Anybody who would like to post a pic of their hot ride along with lift height and tire size - so that anybody thinking about lifting can see what all the combinations are going to look like. comments about how you like it would also be appreciated.

I'll play !!!









and plenty more here:
https://www.f150online.com/galleries...cfm?gnum=10303

Its the Basic fabtech 6" lift (or Performance lift). Tires are 305 70 R18 Pro-Comp extreme mud terrains, sitting on Pro-Comp wheels series 8023 18"x 9.5" with 4.75" of backspacing. Love the stance (very wide) and love how it performs. Very, very smooth ride on road, but perform great off road.

mercedestech,
I'm glad that you release your truck into its natural habitat (pic 3) in between the garage cagings!

Those wheels are very nice btw.

The truck gets out to stretch her legs about once a month. But its the tow rig so i gotta be careful with it. Mainly keep this one in the mud. When I really wana wheel, I play in this:



Thats my current toy. Couple others I have helped build are in my gallery.

Here are more pics if ya want em:
