Whats the biggest tire i can fit and drive with on a 2000 f150 flareside offroad package with 3 inch body. There also the stock 17 inch rims though.

 

315/70/17

a 35" tire!

35x12.5x17

 

RIght.

 

thats what i trhought but just wanted to double check. there gonna a hit a little though at full lock tho wont they. not bad enough to not drivable tho

 

they might if the tires have big side lugs but it wont bad at all! and if you crank your torsion bars you can get another 2" up front!

 

I've seen this combo alot and it seems to work fine, just don't turn all the way. It looks good too.

 

Yes, with the oem wheels they are gonna rub the frame slightly at full steering lock.

 

i appreciate the help. Ill probably go with a leveling kit rather then the torsion bars being cranked because i hear bad things but its cheap either way.

 

Torsion bars are a free way to level your truck! They sell aftermarket keys but they are better referred to as paper weights around here.

The aftermarket keys are reindexed so that they can be cranked higher this is bad do to the fact that it puts extreme angles on ball joints and CV shafts.

The stockers will do exactly what you need! save your $200.

 

I agree. The aftermarket keys just allow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars. Just crank them up with the stock adjustment keys.

 

alright ill just crank the stock ones up then. ill post pics as soon as i get the tires

 

Steps for cranking torsion bars!

1. Jack the truck off the ground so the suspension has no weight on it! (hanging)

2. Place jack stands under the frame (safety first )

3. Use a wrench (I think 1/2") A breaker bar will help. Sometimes these polts dont want to turn, i did mine with a socket wrench.

4. Make a mark on the bolt and crossmember to reference a full turn.

5. Tighten the bolts an equal number of turns... usually 3-6. I would start out with 3 then lower the truck to check the stance, if its not were you want it the repeat the process.

6. After you are finished go get an alignment! Job well done
