lift question
I've got an 01 Excursion 4x4 with a 7.3l.
Looking to put some 17x10 wheels with 315/75/15 BFG tires.
I would like to go with a 4 inch lift instead of 6. Any problems besides some minor rubbing?
I don't really off road anymore so I doing this more for the looks.

Q: What size tires can I run?
A: Below is a chart showing the "recommended" amount of lift needed for the tire size listed. It is possible to run bigger than recommended tires or wider wheels by shimming the front bumper and/or trimming the lower front air-dam. You could also always just put up with minor tire rub on the front inner wheel well when your wheels are turned to full lock. Recommended means that you will have full suspension travel with the list below, if you run larger than recommended, it is possible to damage tires and or sheet metal depending on suspension travel, wheel position and terrain.
No lift : 33x12.50 or 295/75R16
2 inch : 35x12.50 or 305/70R16
3 inch : 35x12.50 or 315/75R16
4 inch : 35x12.50 or 315/75R16
6 inch : 36x14.50
8 inch : 15x38
11 inch : 15x42
