So i have a 1999 for f150 and im doing a 2.5" zone offroad torsion key exchange and 3" tappered blocks in the rear can i fit 35" or should i play it safe with 33"

[pictures would be great]

I would also like some imput on the what would be a better tire the Nitto MUD Grapplers or the Toyo MT's

Thanks
Zach

 

don't do the aftermarket torsion keys.....not good long term for your suspension. Just crank your factory torsion bars. Assuming it is a 4x4 since you are talking about torsion bars, yeah you can fit them on stock rims but you will have a little trimming to do on the valence and both of those tires will have a little rubbing most likely on the UCA because of the aggressive sidewalls.

 

Thanks for the response one question for those out there why are aftermarket torsion keys bad long term

 

I've done the 35's on just a T bar crank before...they fit but I couldn't do any real off roading...now I have 33's on 16x10's and it looks real good and you can off road it hard with no rubbing...now if you do a 3" body lift go for the 35's.

 

The aftermarket torsion bar adjustment keys alow you to put way, way too much preload on your torsion bars which will destroy your ride quality and leave your CV and ball joints at an angle too extreme to last. Just crank up the torsion bars with the OEM adjustment keys enough to level your truck out. This will allow you to fit a 35x12.50 using your OEM wheels, but they will rub the frame at full steering lock. If you want more lift inexpenively, install a 3 inch body lift like I did.

 

I agree with WestTnFx4 and Wandell on this one....
