I bought a Performance Accesories Body Kit for my truck. It looks like a crap load of work. Is it worth doing it be myself or just pay someone $300 to do it.

 

What year is the truck? THe 97-03's take some time to install, but they aren't that hard.

 

98. Some weirdo who lives downt he road said fords take awhile to do and their the hardest out of all the trucks to do. theres a shop over by my house that does body kits and crap like that and he quoted me for $350. I dont wanna get myself into a weekend full of work.

 

It could easily be a weekend full of work if you have never done one before. Honestly I had 2 buddies helping me and it took us around 18 hours to fully install mine. I have also installed 3 body lifts before this one on my 99.
If I would have had half the tools then that I have now it would have taken a lot less time to install. There not really hard but they can be time consuming. If he is only asking 350 to install it and your budget allows for it I would go for it. I got quoted $800 install back when I installed my BL.

 

I agree. $350 isn't a bad price. Mine took me all weekend to install but I was working by myself most of the time.

 

alright cool, sounds right, i think im gunna let them do it for 350, whats the biggest tire i can put on there without rubbing, i know i can do a 285 or a 305 but will a 315 fit?

 

I have 315-75 R16's on mine. They will fit with minor trimming of your front valence below your bumper. I also have my torsion bars cranked up. This combo is still very functional off road, as I have been through some very nasty mud holes with no rubbing issues. I say go with the 35's you won't regret it.

 

how do u suggest i do that trimming?

 

I used my pocket knife.
