Say hello to my new whip driving his thing makes me want beat my wife and put a big ass confederate flag on the back, its a 91 f150 5.0 4x4

[futureMACH1racer]

You have got to lift that thing, and grow a fu manchu

[93hatch]

I just want to fit 33s on it, which i know will fit in the rear but not the front, now i got to decide if raising just the front a bit till its even will look retarted, those are 31s on it now

[CobraPhoenix]

I had a 95 4x4 f150 and fit 33x10.5 all around on her, the front rubbed when I turned it all the way but that was width so if you go 10 up front it looks sexy

Every single weekend I beat the he'll out of it, never saw a full day not covered in mud. Never hit the wells, but like I said some 10s up front you should be good, I acutally cut my front break lines with my tires lol, I've got pics at home I'll post up but I'm on my phone ATM, it looks good, takes up almost the hole wheelwell, I was Gunna lift it but after I put the 33s on it it did great so I didn't lift it, it was manule which sucked in the mud, burned it up pullin someone out

[CobraPhoenix]

I don't like body lifts, they look good but if you goin mudding alot it makes the body alot weaker, and with a 4" lift I'd be putting 35's on it with some spacers it looks mean as hell on that body style

What are you talking about? The body doesn't sit flat on the frame anyways. They have are gussested where they sit on the frame. Body lifts are the cheapest way to get lift. As long as you stay with 3" or less you'll be fine. I have probably installed about 100 body lifts in my day. None have ever been a problem. I had one on my 87 Bronco that I used to jump all of the time. Ask Weems, and Bwal they both seen the vid. I just put a 1" BL on my Jeep. Don't listen anyone who doesn't know. While in high school, and during the summers in college I worked for a 4x4 shop. I installed lifts, and worked on diesels.

if you want to run 33's and wheel it pretty hard you should probably get some bushwacker fender flares and cut out the fenders a little, If I remember correctly with bushwackers you can get 35's on a factory ford, I know for sure you can on the newer 250's and 350's

will that look retarted? out of 8 vehicles this is my first truck... so be gentle

[futureMACH1racer]

35"s are big for that weak as I beam suspension. YOu're going to go through Ball joints every 20-30k with them on. I would just do the 2"BL with 33"s you'll have looks, and the truck will drive good.

The only thing I dont like about body lifts is you see the frame and shit, I think they are kinda ghetto unless you have maxed out all the suspension lift you can and still need some clearance then cool go for it, or if its just a cheap beater you want to wheel the hell out of throw on a 3 or 4" body and some bushwackers and go for it.

Suspension lifts aren't the answer, what good is a mile of uptravel? Unless you're racing through desert I see no need for it. I believe in LCG lifts, they perform better on the road and need less driveline modifications.

I would go 2"BL, you can get gap guards but you live in the fucking desert so you don't need them. Then cut the front fenders, and rear fenders slighty. Install a fender flare, and then you can level the front by adjusting the I beams.

I dont want to destroy it, i dont plan on jumping it or anything. Gota keep it alive so i can get another fox and trailer it around

[95StangMX]

Fender flares in my book are the way to go. body lift doesnt get you any more ground clearance, just tire clearance, same with the fender flares, Body lifts are fairly cheap not including the labor, it can get pricey depending on the shop, fender flares you can do yourself with a sawzall and a drill....but if you have someone to do the body or you can do it then go for it....shit do both.....
