Hey guys

I've got a 1986 ford f150 5.0l 302. 52k original miles I pick her up for 2800, and I'm buying a 6 inch procomp suspension lift, and bf Goodrich altrn tires 35x12.50r15 and procomp alloy wheels that are 15x10. I was curious if any of you guys had a pickup this year /era, that has a 6 inch lift with tires about the same so I could see what she will look like come next month, google images isn't giving me much

What transmission do you have? Pulling those 35's is going to be hard for that little 302 unless you change the gearing in the rearends. If you have a AOD you will probably never be able to use overdrive and if you have a 4 speed I guess you could just leave it in 3rd gear.

That link doesn't work.... need to right-click and copy the link location, not merely copy-n-paste what you see on your screen

You need a spot on the web to put the pictures. I use photobucket, but there are a few others. Once you get the picture on the web, you can get a link to the picture when it's in photobucket, and you can put the link in your post. If you put [ i m g ] at the beginning of the link, and [ / i m g ] at the end of the link, it will put the picture in your post or your reply to a post, without having to click on a blue link. If you try it, take the spaces out of the brackets and img, I put them in there so it would not trigger it to try and find a picture.

There is a forum down at the bottom for experimenting if you want to try it.
