Time to upgrade!

Hey guys, been lurking for a while and wanted to post before I went ahead with some purchases.

Background.
92 F150 I6 2wd 177k miles... I absolutely love this truck, my first vehicle which was given to me by my parents. Love working on it and it fits my lifestyle so well.

I'm looking at the following modifications,
Buying 1.5-2" lifting coils to level up the front,
31x10.50 BFG AT, and replacing the stockies with Cragar 10x8 342 Series wheels. I was reading around and read somewhere max wheel spacing should be 3.5". Cragar says these wheels are 4". Is this going to create a rub problem?

Thanks for all your help now and in the future!

Cabell

Yea I know the 31's will fit without the leveling kit, but I just wanted to improve the stance of the truck. I think new coils are in order anyways, the front looks like it's going into a nose dive(exagerating)... I will definitely be posting up pics, just have to finish up finals here at school and then it's time to get back to my baby. Thanks for you help man! Glad to be on the forum

yeah no problem it is a good forum im 16 and have learned alot from it
my red 87 was 2 wheel drive it has the "nose dive" stance
those trucks with the big six you cant beat them
the bfg a/ts r a good choice it will go thru and mud u want [not like bogging] but you get the point
