They are Michelin XL 48/R20/14.50. They come in 40" up to 53" I believe.

Exclamation New Deaver Superflex springs!!!

So I thought that my truck previously had a 4 inch lift and decided that I wanted new springs so it doesn't feel like im rideing in a covered wagon. Well I ordered the Deaver Superflex 4 inch lift springs from Bronco Graveyard and the truck is way high!!!! I measured from the rear wheel to the top of the wheel well before hand and it was sitting at 8 1/2 inches. Now it sits at 1 foot 1 inch!!!! I really don't know what to think about it yet. I guess after I drive it with the new springs and shocks I will know. Its a 77 F150 shortbed with 33 BFG Allterrains, Im going to need bigger tires. Still trying to figure out how to post pics

I bought the same springs for my 79 F150 and have 33x12.50's.

if you can get pic, please do. Im super curious.

My Deavers are on the ground next to the truck and the Box is at the body shop for another month or two.
