i have 12 inches of lift that im about to put on my truck 3 inch body and 9 inch suspesion and i have 44x19.5 tires you think it will look fine or is it gonna need alittle more lift? i want my wheels wells to not look full at all. thanks

 

it will look fine just be careful going around curves

 

What kind of truck ?

 

79 ford f150 with 3/4 ton d60 and on the fron dana 44 with 3/4 outer parts

 

I wouldn't plan on taking it offroad. I broke my 44 on 38s

 

For mall crusing it would hold up, just watch the speed bumps.
12" should be enough, maby a little front fender trimming, but you will need to address some more things, steering, brake lines, shocks, drive shafts, trac bar, C bar bushings & drop brackets, etc, and so on & on.

 

That is enough lift to clear those but you will probably need to trim for when the tires stuff. Also like Mark said there really is alot more stuff for you to think about. Its not just about bolting on the biggest tire you can. Good luck and be safe.

 

ya i have all that stuff im doing it allthe right way, are dana 60s setup for coil springs or do you have to fab it up yourself? i have some buddies that wheels the crap out of there stuff....they just put it to the floor till something breaks or they get out and all they have is dana 44 up front and they usually dont brake much. sometimes some hubs. yes i want to upgrade axles what would you guys suggest would be the right set up?

 

also im putting hydraulic steering on it, pretty much im tryin to make the best truck around here, which isnt really sayin a whole lot, cause everyone just stuffs the truck with the biggest tires possible and goes for it, but im buildin a motor, have the bare frame sitting in the shop and trying to make an awesome truck.....i would be very welcome to suggestions??? this is my first play truck most people just drive there trucks for work around here dont have the money to build play rigs thanks alot

 

another question....are those chromoly axle shafts are they worth there money and the u joints? thanks

 

Full hydro or hydro assist? Full hydro is not DOT legal. Not only that it is dangerous at speeds above 30 mph, due to the way the orbital valves are designed.

If you steer a normal car left and let go of the wheel it will naturally straighten back out. However with full hydro, if you do the same, it will continue to keep turning left. You have to manual straighten it back out. But when you do so, your now turning the wheel back to the right. Which in return will do the exact same thing. It will be a very sharp and dangerous maneuver.

I've had my trucks in offroad situations, just ***** to the walls across a mud pit and had several flip over experiences. Just imagine what it would be like on dry, grippy pavement! Just a suggestion. Hope your build goes well.
