Hard Choice..

The Money is on the Way and i have the ability to get one of the Following Kits..

The Skyjacker 6" System with Real Leafsprings and Extended Radius Arms..

Or, The Skyjacker 8" System with Rear springs and Radius Arm Drop Brackets..

I hate the idea of spending the money on the 8" and not getting the extended Radius arms... Should this be a Problem"

The Idea is to Fit 38" or 40" Tires, It would be great if 38's would fit under a 6" Lift w/o a Body Lift but they wont, Now i could go with the 6" and 2" Body and fit 38" Tires or with the 8" And a 2" i can go with 40's Body lifts are so Cheap that im going to get one Either way... 6" or 8" Now tell me this, Ive seen a local truck on a 4" Sus lift and 3" Body and fitting 38" Tires just prefect (Alittle tight) so would the 8" lift alone allow for the fitment of 40's... Could i drive on them untill i get the 2" Body lift installed?

Im not worried about the Axles as of Yet, This will be a Street truck untill the money for a 1ton Rear and D60 front comes along... I want to get the Tires under there ASAP so i can see what it looks like since iver never seen a f150 on 40's..

This is on a '91 F-150 Longbed with a 351w

Thanks
