You know the early 99SDs had 4in blocks, and the later have 2in blocks! I have replaced my 4in with 2in to make the truck sit much closer to level. Alot of guys have raised the front to compromise for this ? So what I am saying is 285/75/16 looks real nice with 2in blocks in the rear! You need to be careful when going to taller tires, cause you through your gearing right out the door. Then it takes dam near a$1000 to straighten that out!

As far as gearing goes..... It depend, is the best answer. yes, larger tires will definately affect gearing, but in some cases, does it matter? I have a V10 with 3.73s in mine. I ended up putting on 35s, but the v10/3.73 combination does fine. I do pull my boat which weighs about 4000lbs and it does not even phase the truck. If you are pulling 10,000lbs, now that is a different story.

Where is the survey at? I would like to do it as I have a crack in my door also. I am going to my dealer today my truck is still under warrantee. Thanks, Don, In Oregon Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 06:36:51 -0400 (EDT) From: dlsipe webtv.net (Darin Sipe) Subject: FTE 97up - Cracked Door Sheetmetal 1. Ken - thanks for posting the survey. 2. I sent letters to the editors of Truckin and Truck Trend magazines detailing the problems and Ford's lack of response to those beyond the 3/36 warranty. 3. I strongly suggest that all those who have this problem file a complaint with the NTHSA. This can be done at dot.gov 4. Spread the word to fellow 97+ F150 owners. There is strength in numbers! == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html == FTE: Uns*bscribe and posting info http://www.ford-trucks.com/faq.html ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 09 Sep 1999 16:12:08 -0400 From: kpayne ford-trucks.com Subject: Re: FTE 97up - Where is survey located?

I've let it go all summer, I think I am going grease it also. What about the steering clunk do you have a solution for that fix. Dealers repairs don't last very long, a couple days.

One thing I have to be concerned about is going too tall with tires, because I snowplow in the winter on occasion (my and my familys various driveways around town) and when I lift the front, my snowplow "Minute-Mount" system automatically adjusted to the new height, but did so by going all the way out to the very end of adjustment range! Of course, I could always spend a little $$$ and add range to the plow's adjustment mechanism if I found the right size tires and wheels! Anyone else with a similar set-up and concerns??
