3" lift w/ BFG 285/75/16
 

Does anyone have a picture of a F150 with a 3" inch lift and 285/75/16 BFG ALL TERRAIN (or 33's). Any opinions if you've seen a truck with this set up if it looks good or not??

I have seen many trucks on this website and others with this setup. I am going to install a PA 3" Body lift and 305/70/16 BFG Mud T/A KM's on Weld Mountain Crushers with in the next year. I love the look of the wider taller stance. You could try out f150world.com and do a search in the gallery for lifted trucks, as well as search this site. Here are a few I have found:

what about 285's though.....they are a little bit smaller...?

basically i'm wonderin is......can i put a 3" lift on my truck.....and still have just about as nice a look of the 305/75//16....(slightly wider) ???

My Truck With the 285/75/16 no lift.....

Well...
 

If I had the 285/75/16's I dont think I would do a lift...may look too small. Your truck looks very nice right now as it is. But, I am keeping my factory 265/70/17 tires on for probably a year once I get my lift so save the cash for the new wheel/tire combo.

Are you planning on putting a 3in. body lift or suspension? I know that some of the 3in body lifts are allowing 315's to fit on them.

alright sounds reasonable...the father is very strongly against it anyways......dont know why....but after all the other stuff........i cant get it. might have to work on it for awhile, but just wait until i COMPLETLY own my own. =)

i was gonna do a 2" or 3" body lift. I guess relatively speaking, it wont be THAT much of a change =(

can anyoone maybe give some reasonable proof that raising the body of a truck is not going to make a GIGANTIC differnce in the "center of gravity" of the truck in regard to roll-overs. Maybe i'm wrong, but i think he's worrying a liittle toooooo much

Here is my gallery with 285's Yoko's (cheaper and as good as BFG IMHO) and a 2" body lift. I have ditched the topper since these picts.

Well, if you are a good driver you wont roll it, right? A 2 or 3in lift wont do much. But, im telling you that some of the 3in body lifts are pretty high though, dont know why either. if i were you i would just put a 4 in suspension on there. i would find someone who has a lift and see if they will let your dad drive it. I have a 5in or 6in on mine with 315's and i can still slide around corners without it tipping. I've even put the truck completely sideways pulling onto a highway b4. But im just a crazy driver.

alright thanks, that was helpful to see a truck with same tires w/ lift. Yea i'll have to find away to break down his conservative thoughts =).

can somone tell how This Truck achived that almost angled look? Is that jsut the company body lift he used, or is it a Add-A-Leaf kit in the back to make it seem a little taller in the rear? you can see it pretty good in This Picture and This one

some of the guys that have body lifts dont seem to have that much "tilt" in their ride? add-a-leaf?

any input is helpful
thanks

I dont believe that is a body lift. Usually the angle is from the adjustment of the torsion bars. Mine used to be angled a little bit but then i just cranked up the torsion bars and solved the problem. You can also loosen the bars to let the front end down a little too.

what difference woudl a add-a-leaf make?

Im not to sure on the add-a-leaf things. But, im pretty sure they will stiffen up the rear suspension and in that case would probably make the rear end a little higher. Kinda makes sense.
