Biggest tire size with 10" lift?

What would be the biggest tire that I could run with a 10" Whiplash lift kit? Would it be beneficial to add a 2 or 3 inch body lift to gain more tire clearance?

i have heard that the full throttle lift is a better ride than the whiplash so you might want to research for yourself

I'll check them out! Hopefully, I can find some price ranges, they look like they have a pretty beefy subframe from whatI have seen so far. Maybe they will be halfway affordable, it's starting to look like a solid-front axle conversion more and more every day.

Thumbs down whiplash

If I were you I would STAY away from whiplash suspensions.....I have heard nothing but bad things about them. Think about it.......10 inch lift and IFS dont go together. I would go with the Fabtech 6'' and a 3'' body you will have plenty of room. Prolly fit 39'' or 40''s You have 40''s on a 97''newer Ford F-150 you have a BIG A$$ truck

Ten inches is a little high for IFS, but I don't like body lifts, so if I lift it at all I would want it to be suspension lift, and I would love to have 40s. If I could afford it, I would convert it to a SFA. I will eventually, anyway, so I really don't want to spend over 1000 dollars on a lift kit that I won't always need, but I was also considering getting some of the 2-ton cv joints and seeing how they would hold up. I think if I went 10 inches of lift, I would need them anyway.
