***Please Help** 98 F150 Lift KIt Help!!
If you want a used lift, you're gonna have to wait and be patient for one to pop up, cause it can take a while.
I still suggest do the torsion bars, getting your new tires, and having something done already. Then, if you happen to find a lift or a few extra bucks lying around, get a lift. Doing what's free first seems like a no-brainer and can always be undone if you so choose

Ok sooo i cranked the front torsion keys all the way up and put the 35x12.50x17s on and the truck looks great only thing is the front is about 2 inchs higher than the rear so i ordered blocks and the tires rub the frame a little at max rub so i ordered 1.5 inch wheel spacers 2 inch blocks after i install them ill get a allignment and i think ill be ok
Personally, I would've dealt with the rubbing on the frame before going the spacer route. Hopefully you didn't cheap out on them though, you definitely get what you pay for.
Also here's some problems your going to run into with the spacers: since they're 1.5", you'll need to trim down the stock studs, they're around 1.6" long iirc. Another problem is going to be, your going to move the rubbing off the frame onto another place.
Still, before even opening those spacers, go get it aligned. Then you'll be able to see if it still rubs or not.

I really dont know if I'm a fluke or what. I glanced at the truck today(didnt really have time to get down and really look) but i swear my CV axles looks perfectly straight. So its looking like I'm sitting on simply a 3" Body Lift and thats it...35x12.50x16 and not rubbing whatsoever...i can turn the wheel all the way from side to side-granted i am missing my lower valance, but still-no frame rub like i had in the ranger on 35s w/a neg wheel ofset
Guess my post from 4 hours ago from my phone didn't go through . . .
Sounds good besides those spacers, for the reasons Pizza stated. Glad you're well on your way to getting your truck where you want it
Alignment isn't affected any by rear lift because those wheels can only go forward or back, no side motion. So you could align it now, if you needed to.

I had to get some to get some rake back after a level. I don't know about even bigger tires though haha
