Unhappy this is probably a dumb ??

I just puchased my first lifted 4x4 about 3 weeks ago.wanting a little more hieght out of it ..It is and 87 f250 with a 4 inch lift on it already. 35x12.5x16.5 tires still have a little rubbing prob but really not worried about that..only happens when turn all the way.. but what i was wandering is if there was any way to get a couple more inches without changeing the leafs??

You can't really put any bigger tires than you already have. You could put an even bigger suspension lift on it, though. You don't necessarily need to get new leafs, you can use blocks, but they have their own problems. You can also put a body lift on it, they're inexpensive.

If you do a search on lift kit in this forum and the offroad forum, you'll get a ton on information.
