I'm thinking of getting a lift kit and new tires for my old '04 FX4 Supercab. All I want to do is level out the front so it's even w/ the back...exactly how much lift up front will I need?? Also...BFG 35 x 12.50 x 18 MTR's are the tires I want. Gotta keep those tight FX4 18s...what should I do w/ my old tires? what happens if I need a spare for the new tires? Any tips, concerns or comments as I am a first time truck owner would be great, thanks

 

Check out ranchos 4" lift.This will let you keep your stock wheels and look 100% better than just a level kit with those big 35's.Im not sure if the 35x12.50 tires will fit safely on stock rims check around.However if you do change rims check out the 6" lifts.I have the skyjacker others here have procomp or fabtech all are great and will give your truck much more attitude.Your spare tire location is worthless with 35's.You will have to mount it in the bed of your truck.I think skyjacker also makes a 3" kit that allows stock rims and 35's.

 

I have the Daystar 2.5 Leveling kit and a 3" Body lift on 325/65R18 Nitto tires which are 35's. They do rub a little bit but only when maxed out in a turn!

I plan to get a Rancho 4" Suspension lift this winter as well then may swap to BFG or TOYO 35's!

 

With a body kit does your back bumper stay at stock height, giving it a wierd kind of look?
