new guy intro and quick question
Well, real quick. My name is Dan, i live in charleston s.c and i just graduated from The Citadel last may. i leave for the criminal justice (police) academy next sunday and will most likely be joining the marine corps reserves when i get back from that in 12 weeks. My truck is a 2002 F150 7700 4x4 extended cab. only mod is that its got a dynomax dual kit on it. my other ford is a 94 mustang cobra that is bone stock and i will be tearing into that after all my training. fiance has a 2003 focus.
Now that that is out of the way, i know alot of guys run 285's on their 4x4 150s but i was wanting to do something a little different and was wondering if anyone was running 305/75/16s on their stock 150? im kinda thinking i might get a little bit of rubbing

Is 305/75 even a tire size? Or are you talking about 305/70s? If you crank your torsions you will fit them with a little bit of rubbing. Im fitting 285/75 on my stock 2wd, with very weak front springs.

EUA, You have the 7700lb package. Don't forget that this also has a heavier duty front spring (torsion bar) weight than the standard F150 does. Your front end may be a bit higher than ours already.

Dan welcome to the FTE forums. You might try asking again in https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum64/ Kitty I think that you may have inadvertently posted in the wrong forum.

barlito do those spacers make you rub anywhere else? on the front or back of the wheel wells? i have a 6 inch lift and 35s and 2 inch spacres cuz my tiers rubbed on the top of the spindle but i had to do a lot of trimming on the fenders to keep them from rubbing
