tires/lift



This is my friends old truck and I was going to see if you guys have an idea of how big of tires this had on it and if it had a lift and or leveling kit or not. I am absolutley in love with the looks of this truck as far as tires and how it sits and I want to make mine look like that. My friend moved and I do not have any way of getting ahold of him. Any guess's out there?

looks like a leveling kit and maybe 31-33 inch tires... not sure, see if you can zoom in on a tire and find the size on it, probably a long shot but it might work

I agree. Looks alot like my 95 with a 2'' leveling kit and 31's. I dont think they are 33's cause theres alot of space left in the fenderwheels.

Those are bigger than 31s. To me it looks like 32 inch tires, probably 32 11.50 15. It looks like a bit more than a leveling kit to me, but maybe not. If you look at how low the step bars are, it might have a body lift on it.

Look to 33" tires I have on my former 89 F150

If it 31 then it should be smaller than that since I have 31" on my F150.

i got ahold of him and you'd never guess. he said it was 5" body lift w/ 34"s. I didn't know that they made 5" lifts lol. Hey blue how hard was it to get them 33"s on there? did you have to do any trimming?

They don't make 5 inch body lifts. The largest is 3 for safety reasons. There is no way that truck is lifted 5 inches. If it has a body lift then its a 3 and those tires have to be 32 or 33. There is no way they are 34s.

That is what I thought. I never actually saw it in person. Because I would say it is sitting just a little bit lower than blue's f150 w/ 35"s and a 3" lift. Wait, then how do people get 6" or 9" of body lift? I've seen it before on trucks.. Do you just buy multiple 3" lifts?
