what he said VVVVVVV
Ive got 3.5" lift spindles, 2in coils
4in blocks.

 

Ha, I just posted a question in the suspension forum about this. Wasn't sure what blocks to with on a 5.5" front lift. Is this the spring teck lift that you are runnung?

 

nope. rough country springs:http://www.roughcountry.com/ford_2wd..._leveling.html

and doetsch spindles: http://www.doetsch-shocks.com/9.asp

the blocks i got from 4WP here locally as well as the shocks which are fabbys and they were on sale.

 

Cool. Rig looks good man. I think I am going to do the sprig tech kit. 5.5"-4"..

 

^nice dude. you will like it. be sure you get tires or it will look goofy like mine. and be sure you get an alignment done too to make sure all of your components are good to go.

 

Both pictures of 31.7" Tall tire, green one has 3/1 lift, blue one 2/0. Looking at your pictures of a 5.5/4 lift you have to have bigger tires. I think your tires look fine, IMO.

 

Guess I need to weigh out the difference. Go big and buy new tires, or 3.5"/2" and keep my new tires....haha

 

Hadnt I talked to you about leveling your truck once before? I remember, maybe it was you, that your truck was like almost 3" of difference from the back to the front. If that be the case you could run the 5.5"/3 and should be just fine. Worst case, you could just buy a bigger block. Then slap on some 305s and call it a day.

 

That was me, still weighing it out. So you say the 5.5/3? Also what is the bibbest tires I can safely fit in my factory 17" rims.

Thejake, sorry we kinda hijacked your thread man, the truck is looking awsome. Did you ever make up your mind about the front bumper?

 

I would say that the 5.5/3 would be fine. I know a guy who has 38" mud grapplers in the EXACT same wheels that you have and he has had them on for awhile now, so no worries.
If you went with a 6" then you could get some 315s, but thats just another option. I can just see you getting up, and then wishing for more.

 

Since seeing the 5.5/4 pictured in this thread with the same exact size tires as mine, I think I will order it. It was hard to picture without seeing. LOL yeah, I guess if I wanna go bigger after, I will do the 3" BL!!

 

A 3" body lift is not a bad thing at all. I have no complaints! Getting the BL on after the 5.5/4 would have you sitting pretty close to my height after some 35s.

 

I dont know if I should make my truck a 3/3 lift or leave it leveled. I have 1.75" of rake.

 

 

Meaning from the factory I had 1.75" of rake. So should i make it a 3/3 lift or leave it 3/1 and leveled.
