will this fit?

i have a 97 f350 that im lifting with a 6" all leaf kit. i want to know if that lift will be able to clear 39" tires on a 10" rim. anybody have any other tips to look out for?

i can fit 39's on my stock F350 but in the front i cant turn much. i know 39s fit on the back. if you did the sky manufacturing 5.5" shackle reversal and a set of stock superduty front leaf packs you would have a very smooth riding truck that would easily accomadate 39's. you'd get about 7" or so of lift depending on the leaf packs. then just buy the rear lifted springs and you are golden!

but hey, thats just my humble opinion!

we had 39.5"x13.5" iroks on 16x8" rim on an F250, it was 2" higher than the rear of my truck (stock 96 F350). Heres a pic so you can see what the back end will be looking like with only 2" of lift on your truck.


the rear packs are the same between the F250 F350 pretty much. My truck has a 4" block stock, we replaced the 2" F250 block with a 6" block and added some ladded bars after this pic.
