Hey Guys Finally Got my Lift On

Hey guys this is my 2003 F150 4x4 Sport that i finally got my 3in body lift and 35in tires on just a few weeks ago. I think it turned out great. Still rides about the same. Gas mileage went down a little (of corse), but all in all, not to bad to install. And you can see the results. Heres some pics, if neone has any questons on the install or nething else, just ask.[IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1903.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1903.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1904.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1904.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1905.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1905.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1906.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1906.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1907.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1907.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1908.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1908.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1909.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1909.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1910.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1910.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1911.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1911.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG][IMG]<a href="http://s1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/?action=view&amp;current=102_1912.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j420/bigcountry5387/102_1912.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>[/IMG]

Looks good. Are those aftermarket or stock wheels?

Looks great man! Next time you go for a rotate & balance have them put the weights on the inside.

Those are factory sport wheels.

Looks nice man! Any rubbing in the front though? Those tires look a little tight and it looks like if you hit a bump they'd rub.

Thanks for the replies. The rims are factory sport rims. Everyone told me to get new ones when i got the lift on. But ive always liked the look of these stockers. Plus it saved me lot of money. And as far as the tires rubbing, they rub the frame a little when i cut the wheels all the way. But the dont rub at all when driving. On a side note: many forums i read about the lift install, many if not all said to cut the lower plastic valance on the front bumper. Now I really didnt want to cut mine and risk screwin it up. So I just went to ace and bought a few washers and installed them behind the bumper bolts to push the bumper foward a little. I believe 2 washers on each bolts, so 8 all together. You can look at the pics, the bumper isnt foward much at all, but just enough i didnt have to trim the valance and nothing rubs. Just thought id throw that out there, for any one putting one of these lifts on. Any more questions just ask!

I really appreciate all the good replies guys, nice to know yall think i did a good job and the truck looks good. No the tires dont rub at all, and the tires so far are GREAT! I did alot of research on tires before I bought the lift. The tires are 315/70/R17s GoodYear Wrangler Duratracs, They ride excellent. Ive only took em off road once, but they were Awesome. Ive heard they Kick *** in the Snow, havent got there yet, not really looking foward to the winter, but cant wait to use em in the snow and have some fun. And No, there not loud. There extremlly quiet on the highway. All around an Awesome tire. And for anyone looking to buy tires, look on ebay. Thats where I bought these, like I said I shopped around alot. The price was unbeatable I think. I only paid $1,024 for all 4 tires, and that was with a warranty for 4 tires. So check em out. Seriously though, thanks for all the great replies guys. Any questions at all just ask!!!
