I BOUGHT MY FIRST TRUCK NOV. 04. IT'S A 2000 F150 STANDARD CAB WITH THE 4.6 V8. LAST MONTH I (ACTUALLY SKIP'S SPRING SERVICE) PUT ON A FABTECH CROSSMEMBER 7.5 LIFT FOR ME. I STILL HAVE THE 16IN WHEELS AND 265 TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK. I'D LIKE TO GO WITH BIGGER TIRES. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO WHOMP THROUGH THE DESERT, DO SOME TINY JUMPS, AND JEEP TRAILS. HOW BIG CAN I GO WITHOUT REGEARING? AND HOW MUCH WILL NOT REGEARING AFFECT MY PERFORMANCE IF I GO 16 W/35'S? DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANYONE THAT DOES PRERUNNER FABRICATION (BUMPERS, SHOCKS, FENDERS) IN LAS VEGAS, NV? THANKS VERY MUCH FOR ALL HELP.- uSElEsS

 

with the 4.6 i wouldnt go with anything bigger than you already have unless you regear if you go to 33s youll lose alot of power

 

Bad,

I have a 99' F-150 4x4 with the 4.6L running 33's and I wouldn't recommend anything without regearing. My truck right now is a turd. The only reason I have not done the gears is I am thinking of a new truck.
