New here.

Hey all. I'm new to the forum. I have been looking around herefor a few days and have a question. I know this has probably been beaten to death but here goes.

I have a 2004 F-150 Heritage (basically a 2003, I think). I am looking into the Daystar 1 1/2 front lift and was wondering how big a tire this will allow with no rubbing?

Will this kit put undo stress on the front suspension of my truck?

It could void your warranty as far as the front suspension goes, but it kinda depends on the dealler to take it to for repairs (if some thing should go wrong with the front suspension), some are more modification-friendly than others.

Hi gtrzan and welcome to the forum
Is your truck a 4x2 or 4x4?
There is lots of good info in the "tire size chart" thread at the top of the forum too.

Welcome to the forum!

Yeah, what Racerguy said... look at the sticky at the top, it has a lot of useful information about tire sizes.

You are basically going to be able to fit 285's on your 4x4 without any rubbing, and 305's with a minor bit of rubbing on cornering and hitting bumps simultaneously...

I would of edited the last post, but I did not see a way to do it. However, I looked all through the "sticky" on tire sizes, but no-one mentioned the 1 1/2" front leveling kit and the tires it allows for.
