I just ordered a RC 8" lift kit for my 02 F250 5.4 but it's going to be a month or so before I order the bigger wheels. Just looking to see if anyone has a photo maybe after they did there kit and didn't have the bigger wheels on yet. Just looking to see what it's going to look like with the BFG 285s I have. If it's really goofy looking I may wait for the wheels before doing the lift.
285's 265's
I would wait if i were you. I put a small 2.5 inch leveling kit on mine when i had 265's and it looked pretty puny so i can only imagine an 8 inch lift wouldnt look much better
Here's my old '02 F250 with a 2" leveling kit up front, stock in the back. It has 285-75-18 Toyo's, I think it was perfect like that, Can't even imagine how your's will look with an 8" lift.......well I can but I won't comment. You'll need some VERY BIG tires. By the way, why do you want an 8" lift?
Don't really know why I decided on 8", I guess go big or go home. 2 reasons played into it. 1 being the truck has close to 300k on the suspension and I like the idea of the 8" where it will replace the springs front and back. And the 4 and 6" lifts are only a few hundred less.

Is it going to be a daily driver? 8 inch lift and big tires will be hard on the other driveline components especially your hub assemblies and u-joints and most importantly your wallet. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of a big lift but I wouldn't want to deal with the extra up keep. My .02
Also I guess I kinda feel that my 02 sits pretty low as it is which leads me to believe the springs are worn. I spoke to soon when I said ordered, it's in the shopping cart ready to be bought but I was interrupted by Dr.Strange lol.
It is a daily driver but like I said it seems so puny as is. What's everyone's recommendation?
That's it just picked it up 2 weeks ago. The bed is being replaced and the tires in that pic were bald 265s As you can see it doesn't sit like most.

If I were you, I would upgrade to X code springs, and put a f350 block in the back. It will look much better. When my truck was 2wd I wished it was that high lol

Yea according to my door tag looks like I have C springs up front and 1 code spring in back.
I'd spend the money on rust repair over the lift if it was mine.
Already replaced the bed and rear doors with Texas parts. Like I said that was the pic the day I got it. 800 bucks and drove it home. Also rebuilt the front end and u joints throughout.

Sorry if I missed that part. Sounds like a great deal for a running truck!
Tires will look very small. Share pics of the before and after with whatever you do.
