Brainstorming again!

OK guys, here I go again. I own a '91 F-250 4x4. I am considering purchasing the Tuff Country 2.5" suspension lift for my truck. Anyone here have any experience with that kit? I should be able to comfortably fit 33/12.50 tires with that setup right? Also could someone fill me in on how proper camber is retained when lifting an IFS setup? Thanks

33s should fit fine. The kit should include brackets to lower the "I beam" which will correct the alignment problem. Im not familiar with that exact lift, though.

Thanks for replying Nathan. I figured that drop brackets were used, just wanted to clarify. I am wanting to use wheels that will set the outer edge of the tire about even with the end of the hub. Does this sound reasonable? Also, am I remembering correctly that you have a 1-ton that you're running 33s on or am I making stuff up again? If so, do you have any pictures you could email? Anyway, thanks again.

I personally like to see the tires even with the fenders, or just slightly past. "I hate that go-cart, wide tire look on a truck!" Yes, I have a 95 F350 regular cab on 33s. Im currently looking into getting a digital camera and posting pix of my trucks here. If you E-mail me your home address, I'll mail you some Polaroids.

Nathan, I agree that the tires shouldn't stick waaay out. I just don't like center-caps sticking way out beyond the edge of the tire/wheel. And I would think that most 16.5x9.75" wheels are wide enough overall to avoid that. Don't worry about the pictures. I was just asking in case you had some handy. Thanks a lot.
