Lifting a F250

Who out there is running 35's on their powerstroke? What lift do you need, i mean high high? My ultimate goal is to black the whole truck out, with a brush gaurd, winch, etc and 35's, to be able to pull my little bro out in his wimpy yukon when he gets stuck all the time Also,

anyone have any black bumpers off the new models they want to sell? I'm looking for some to take the chrome one's off. Thanks

sean

I purchased a 6" suspension with 35". It made the tires look small. Now I have 37"s. I'd say a 4" suspension would be good with 35"s.

I run 35/12.5 tires on my '01 PSD......underneath a 4" suspension lift. Clear fine on the street and mild off roading. I can get the tires to rub on the inner plastic fender fairly easy while off road......



Hope this helps.

I'm Running 35s on my truck and it only has a leveling kit under the front and otherwise they have no problems. For full flex though I am looking to put a shackle reversal kit under it.(about another 2")

4 inch sky jacker here. The 35's fit perfect. I had to add another inch to the rear to keep a very slight rake. Looked like it was sagging with the sky jacker springs.

Only at full lock to the left hand side {driver's}. I's good for the street, but not off road. I'm looking into the front hangers to lift it another 2"-3" more to solve the rubbing. 16"x10" rims make all the difference.

They are 37's. Super Swamper tires run true to size. Better than most. They are the SSR's. I have them on my wifes 97' 2500 Dodge w/ 8" suspenion lift. They do really well. 10 ply tire load range E, and can hold 3600+ lbs per tire. Sounds good for my Ford. I've had them on the Dodge for over a year { it's her daily driver}, And I've had them on the Ford for 3 months. They are doing good. They did good on the ice too last winter.
