I got a friend that has 2003 f150 4x4 he got 16x7 rims on it and he wants to know if 285/75/16 will fit. i told him they will fit on 16x8's but i am not sure about 16x7's anybody seen this.

 

They will be fine. I have 35s on my stock 7.5" rim!

Yes they will fit fine. You can go up to 305 70R16 on the factory rim. Cranking the Torsion bars mught be required. Mine were cranked 5 minutes after I got the truck home so I can not say if you do not need to crank them.

kev,

First off, nice truck. I wanted to know if you had any issues with brake lines, wires, etc...needing to be replaced because they were too short after installation of the PA 3" body lift. If you used those gap guards, do they install and look alright? Lastly, if you installed it yourself, how difficult was the install? If not, mind me asking how much the shop charged? Thanks much -

The performance accessories body lift kit will give you everything you need to do the lift. I did my lift by myself (completely by myself) and it took the better part of the weekend. The lift is not hard but time consuming. My advice is to just stay focused and take your time with it. Start it on a Friday evening and just arrange a seperate form of transportation to get to work on Monday just in case things don't go as planned, hehe. All in all though it was very easy and didn't require any special tooling.

I don't have the lift lips, $60 for a few pieces of cheap black rubber is not worth it for me. I'll make my own if I ever find the time. Actually I heard those stupid things are harder to install then the lift.

Truck look's sweet

 

Thanks for the help guy's he got them and they look good.
