I have a 2000 ford f150 4x4 lariot. I recently bought some nitto terra grapplers 325/60/20. I don't want my truck to be any higher then it needs, I'd rather it sit right and look clean without any rubs. Opinions on the size of the lift or what should I do to get the clean look instead of the jacked up higher then it needs to be look? Thanks

 

Or pictures of other trucks with these size tires and rims I'd like to get a picture in mind.
Thanks

 

I've often wondered why somebody hasn't written a little visual app for that yet Plug in your year, make, model and body then go nuts with suspension lifts/drops and tire/wheel combos to see what it would look like and how much metal would have to be cut and such.

Of course I don't get the whole "put the biggest furking tires I can on it" whole thing It messes up so much of the geometry and mechanics you're just a menace out there unless you know what you're doing to correct the rest of it. Not pointing fingers Garett90 (or anyone specific for that matter) It just seems like there are so many out there...

...anyway, no real help from me here, out of my area of knowledge. Heck I'm looking at changing my tires back to stock because (now I find) one of the previous owners put too big a tire on. No wonder I was passing everyone on the highway home after buying it, wondering why they were all driving so slow.

 

What wheels are you gonna run with them? That's gonna make a difference in the amount of lift you'll need. Wheel width and backspacing/offset will help.

But if you want absolutely no rubbing your most likely looking at a 6" lift, possibly 4" depending on wheel specs.

 

Well I bought the tires and rims used togather. The rims are moto metal 20s. The tires are 325/60r20. I measered the actually width of the tire it looked like 13 inches. But that's all I know. I really just want my truck to clean and not be any higher then it needs to be so just wanted suggestions and all are Appriciated

 

Backspacing and width of the wheel are what really needs to be known.

But if I'm guessing assuming they're 9-10" wide and have 4.5" of backspacing your gonna need a 6" lift. But if they aren't 4.5" of backspacing (or less) and have like 5-5.5" then you can't use those wheels with a lift, and your only option would be cranking the torsion bars and adding a 3" body lift and maybe have to deal with some minor rubbing on the frame while turning at lock.

 

A 325/60-20 is basically a 35x13.00 tire. At an absolute minimum, you will need a 3 inch body lift, crank up the torsion bars and do some trimming.
