gear ratio's
im getting ready to buy lift and tires for my 95 f150 im debating on what to get because of bogging down of bigger tires, does anyone no which would be a better choice... 4inch suspension 33 12.50's or would i be able to do a 6inch and 35's without having to change gear ratios... thanks for your opinions

I'd go with at least 4:10 or lower . Thats what I use when running 33" tires to get power band of motor back . You could probably get away with it what you have but truck will be doggy.
I know people who actually got better MPG with lower gears when running large tires. Put the rpm rang where it should be. Good luck lost

you will also be looking at about the same gas mileage as a 460. 10 to 12 highway, and every one with skinny stock size tires will beat you both on and off the pavement.
But it will look cool
