Lifted Trucks
 

Alright, lets see them. I want to go bigger on a lift and put 35s on mine, not sure what I want to go with. Southern151 feel free to chime in lol.
Just a small 3in suspension on it right now. Tire suggestion?

I'm n the process of building a lift on mine.
Ill send ya some links to check out.

How high u wanna go?

Exactly what lift is on truck now?

And what is ur budget$$$??
Lotta diff ways to lift depending on ur $$$$

Buddy has a 2011 F150 FX4. that he just installed a 6" lift and 35" Nittos.... I will try to get a pic to post

wrangler duratracs are pretty quiet in my opinion and have enough bite to get you out of the tough stuff occasionally.

All you need is a 3" body lift to clear 35's on that body style....I like the toyo mt's but there not cheap. Keep in mind you will need to go to 4.10 or 4.88 gears if you want the same pulling power with the larger tires. It's not cheap to do it right....like they say you gotta pay to play.

I am runnin these in a 33" and so far I am very pleased. I put 35" on my Dodge 2500 and regretted it due to fuel mileage.

6" fabtech lift, 22" XD monsters, 35" Toyo open country AT(was supposed to be MT but order got screwed up and it was mounted and balanced when they came in and I had waited forever already so I said screw it)

Been running lifted trucks on hwy and i've had off road mud trucks. Cheapest way is to get another truck for off road. Been there done that. If you going for looks put a body lift and a mild suspension lift. Fuel mileage will go to sheet and you'll change lots of suspension and steering parts due to premature wear with a big lift due to extra stress put on components.
Also don't buy a cheap lift you will regret it.

My last lifted was a 88 ranger extended cab. 6" lift and ran 33" s with plenty room. I now have a 2008 liberty 4x4 I put a 3.5" lift on. Just need to order some tires. I use mine for those hard to reach kayak fishing spots.

Start digging around on the off road forums, plenty of info out there and allot of "been there, done that" experience... Its easy to get to the point of diminishing returns and end up with something that's not a good daily driver...

Personally, I'm not a big fan of body lifts as there are too many real good IFS suspension lifts out there nowadays... They are expensive, but you get what you pay for... Keep those CV joint angles where they need to be, cheap lifts can put everything in a bind...

I have lifted a couple of 80's Broncos, F150's, 2 Tacomas, and my old Super Duty (straight front axle, easy)... Working on a Wrangler now which is a whole different animal due to short wheel base and sharp driveshaft angles :shaking:...

Very nice setup, "just right" without going too extreme ...

Truck looks nice already...... Spen your money wisely, use it on beer and women.

Oh....and FOR SALE!

X2 great advice

What he said! 35's & lifts are hell on trucks that are used everyday. Which equals lots of money.

2" level for the front gives a nice stance and clearance, and lets you haul your 4wheeler or a trailer without pointing the nose to the sky.

295/75-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers fit perfect, they're just under 35" and a little narrower which IMO looks spot on and they are a little rare so your truck will have that subtle, but bad a$$ look that will be hard to figure out. Also easier on you truck. Every truck out there has 35x12.50, so they all look the same.......................................

To me you can't beat the Toyo MT! They last forever and are very quiet and have about the best ride of any mud grip I've ridden! Had a 2002 F250 with a leveling kit and 16" Helo's with 35" nitto Mud grapplers (loudest tire everrrrr!) Then put 20" XD Hoss' with 35" Toyo MT's. Now I have a leveled 2009 F150 Platinum and I'll never go bigger than stock again! As much as I like it its just not practical with fuel prices!

a little bit of a double standard here. Its ok to lift a truck for no other purpose then to put expensive rims and bigger tires on it but not this?:eek::grinpimp::rotfl: Is there really a difference? Neither does anything but decrease fuel mileage?:D

I'm with JXM, and Fishmaster... A 3" or less lift is perfect or leveling kit is better.. I purchased a 07 Tundra as is..

It came with a 3" lift and the 295/70/18's grapplers.. Guys my fuel mileage is SHHH IIITTTT.. As for as ride.. I'm running 45-50# of air pressure in my tires and can BARELY keep it on the road.. These are 10 ply.. Suppose to run 80# of air..

When I'm pulling my 24 triton, try 8 miles a gal... Get a little expensive..

I'm not replacing these tires.. I'm going to go with a little smaller tire.. Possibly 265's Grapplers..

Tireman indicated I should get a little better gas mileage.. I'm thinking of going back to a F 150 and then just putting a leveling kit..

I love lifted trucks but i agree with the leveling kit. Unless its gonna be used somewhat offroad you cant beat a good pair of 33's. Doesnt kill gas mileage but gives it a nice stance

My gas mileage sucks regardless. I get 11.5 with my little 31 a/t.

Think I'm going to go with
295/75-18 Nitto Trail Grapplers and leave my lift just how it is. Now to pick some rims.

6 in procomp suspension lift with 35x12.50x20 toyo open country mtAttachment 44996

huntin fool what lift is on there now? is it the 3" Skyjacker? if so i will be interested in buying it from you if you upgrade.

Yea it's the 3 inch skyjacker. Trying to find some rims, anyone like to shop around for rims? Lol

Good call on leaving it at current height. Much taller and, it gets hard to control, especially with taller, wider tires. Aside from curb appeal, a bigger lift does nothing for a daily driver except cost a lot of $$!

That is a good lookin truck you have though!

I like the Mazzi Hulk rims. When i do my lift that's what im going with

well cool if you do upgrade let me know we might be able to work something out

And we have seen pics of his truck in the ditch to showcase his driving abilities already:eek::rotfl:

A lift would keep 'some' from riding in your truck though

Cut that in half with bigger tires without regearing

Which motor you have? 4.6? I was getting that with my 295's on a super crew with 5.4L.

Winmill tire in new Iberia beat everyone on those tires - paid 1180 out the door last year, they are 1280 now.

LOL!!!!

Dude @ la tech had a big sticker on his F-250
He had 12 inches of lift and ran 40's

" skyjacker... Cause fat chicks can't jump"

Might want to make sure your insurance company will cover vehicle after being mechanically altered. I have heard some companies want cover.

All of your reputable co's will cover them. Now, if its heavily modified, you may have to take out supplemental ins to cover mods. That's for completely custom vehicles in most cases.

rims are for confused teenagers , and democrats! .

"hey lets spend a ton of money on some shiney bullcrap that is probally gonna get jacked, makes your gas mileage suck, makes respectable white people laugh at you when you drive by, "

And increases torque on your hubs when you hit bumps due to the offset! I live a good set of tires on some factory rims, it's BEEFY!

3" camburg full coilover suspension lift in front and add a leaf 3" lift in rear. Going to also do a 2" body lift and 2" block in rear. Bc it sags a lil in the rear now. Running 285/75/16s now.

i put a leveling kit and more agressive tires but not out of control on my truck because i need it on sloppy jobsites....if you put big tires /lift/rims just for the look you are a peen!

You look like one anyway. You should get a "smart" car! Hahaha!

Haha burn

In a talladega nights voice" you should get a fag car"

LOL! Took you dang long enough to reply!

I went minimalist, just need to get from A to B. And if I need to pull Africa closer to us, I'm ready. I took the restrictor plate off last week.

Got yer text , I was busy with the counter top guys. Anyways we do need to !!

I got the 4.6 and that baby burns some petro.

Ive had rough times in my driving career, but the ford pulls through..

When I say rims, Im not talking coon rims. And guys, I'm still young and in shape. That means the ladies like a nice truck to sling a lil mud.

Oh yeah, at 16-17 yrs., a nice rig can pull some "stuff!" That known, your first ride looks damn good as it sits. You go much higher and they'll think you're compensating for another dept that you're short on!
