Lifted my truck

So as some of you know I recently got new tires on my truck

https://www.f150online.com/forums/wh...new-shoes.html

Wellllll that started a whole new problem that had them rubbing on the upper control arm

So I than had to buy new rims that pushed the tire out more and that gave me a whole lot of rubbing on the front and rear fenders (knew I had to get a lift with the new rims before I ordered them)

Well after a few days of working on it with a friend of mine we were finally done! It was a lot harder than I was expecting .... we had to drop everything down the front diff the rack and pinon had to swap all the parts out inside the knuckle extend the brake lines and the list goes on haha

It's finally done and I'm loving it! Wish I had done it sooner though onto the pics

Those are one of the best after market wheels IMO. Always been a fan. Killer look!

looks great! i'm highly jealous that you had a lift to help...lol doing it with a floor jack and jack stands is pretty nerve racking especially putting the rear blocks on.
