Pics anyone?

Anyone have pics, of 1997-2003 f150 4x4 with 4" lift and 305/70r16 tires (33x12.5 rim 16). Yea I know I can fit 35's on the 4" lift. But I dont want to. Don't feel like dealing with gears and all. Just looking for the clearence and wider tires. Just bought some land down in SC. Don't need 35's to wheel it and all. The mud pits down there come up to bottom of my door on dry days. 35's aint gunna much more of an advantage for the price. Just want to get all that underbody up. Anyone know of tires that are a bit closer to 34". Only ones I found around 34" are made by interco. Them some heavy meats so I might as well get the gears if I got them. Know of any others?

35's will add another inch to your ground clearance...but I dont blame you for wanting 33's. Gears can get very expensive.

Yea and with the gears I would also need to correct speedo and such which is another $400 or so. Not that much flat out, but everything piles up. I guess I could always just go with poor mans torsion bar lift but I've always been against them.

Ha...so I see no one goes with the manufac. recommendation of 33's. Granted 35's do look better.

If it were me and my truck...I would probably stick with 33's. Depends on how "small" they look in the wheelwells. Plus, they are cheaper.

You mentioned that you wanted to get your underbody up, so thats why I suggested 35's

I dont really know how it will look but I still plan on doing it. Don't think it will look all too bad. 35 will prob look better. But not doing the gear thing right now. I've seen 33's on 3" body and thats a good set up. Hopefully one more inch wont make it look too bad. Main thing was to get some wider, M/T tires, and more clearence (in the sense of high-centering). Whether it looks good or not though...35's still planned down the road.
