I want to see yalls lifted 80s F100 and F150 trucks. Im getting ready to purchase a 2 inch body lift kit and some 31 inch Cooper all terain tires and kinda want to get an idea of what it will look like. Be sure to comment with the post so we know what setup you have.

Thanks, John

 

31x10.5-15 duratracs.stock rear springs(heavy payload) .moog 844 front coils(gave about 2-2.5" lift

 

the Moog springs kit..... Was it just the springs?

 

just the springs

moog 844 .I think these were originally 3/4 2wd spring rates(?).they are a little stiffer but I feel they kinda tame the front suspension a bit.the 844's is a popular way to go.one thing (at least on mine) was that when installed I had a bit much positive camber (as show in pic)but the guys at my shop said it's a good thing to have on these trucks.4 years running this way and tracks awesome

 

It's not wearing the outside of your tires on the front? I would think it would have to a little bit. People keep looking for that magic cheap trick to lift these trucks and I haven't seen it yet.

 

they wear a tiny bit on the outer *****(barely rounded edge).probably helps with the bigger ***** for wear.I make sure to rotate regularly.I keep 34-36 in the fronts and 38-40 in back.I never bothered to check alignment afterwards because it tracks great and wear is good.lucked out i guess

 

I got 10.5x31x15 on it an it has quad shocks which gives it a little more lift. I was thinking about more lift but 35s ad the d44 don't really get along . It dose have a t18 with 3.50 gear a new Yukon locker in the rear.

 

That looks sweet! I like that you left the stock hubcaps. Takes me back to my grandpa's old truck that he took me around town to get ice cream in.

 

Thx man yea it's got some more work to be done but it's so much better then the new trucks

1986 f150. 6 inch suspension lift (blocks and leafs), my shocks are worn out so its sagging some in the front. 3 inch body lift, and 36-12.5-16.5 on eagle rims:

 

Shocks don't affect the ride height of the suspension unless they have coils on them also.

Looks nice but too high for were I live, they would pull me over in a second for being too high.

 

cops are not bad over here. as long as you drive normal and its not crazy loud. only thing different im doing is 37 inch tires with a radial tread

 

i had no idea that was a thing. could you really be pulled over for to much lift on a truck?

 

Check this link out. Lift Laws - Suspension Lifts, Body Lifts, Ride Height

Looks like Oklahoma has lift rules too.

Looks like the guy in Rhode Island can't lift it over 4 inches. But if the cops don't care, and the inspection people don't care(if they have them), that makes a difference.
