Yes, you can fit 33's easily. I'd go with a 33x12.50 on a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. You will have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance for clearance.

 

what if you were to just remove that plastic piece on the bottom of the bumper??

 

That is what he was talking about.

 

Actually, I was talking about just trimming a little off the corner. It will look a little odd if you just remove it, plus you would probably still have to trim a little off the remaining valance. All I trimmed was a stip about 2 inches long and an inch wide. If you take your time and trim carefully, it is not noticable.

 

im thinking of installing a 3 inch body lift onto my 97 f150 flareside and was wondering what all i need to chang in the front like fan shrouds and everything like that cause i know u got to put in the steering extension as far as i know ?

 

If you get a good Performance Accessories body lift then it will come with everything you will need.

The instructions say to lower the radiator down but it is not necessary. Just cut the tabs on the fan shroud and move it down. with the fan as you raise the body.

its really easy project. and you can fit 35's under it then.

 

RIght. The PA kit comes with brackets to lower the fan shroud and a steering extension.

 

thanks alot guys i appreciate it its gunna look sweet when its done and im gunna be happy doing it on my own rather than taking it in

 

just get the kit from Performance Accessories.

Read the installation directions a few times and make sure you have all the tools you will need. Different sockets, wrenches, and torx bits.

a week or two before you install start spraying all the bolts under the truck with PB Blaster it will help out a ton

You will like it when its done.

 

what would you suggest for a wheel and tire combo?
