Smile F-250 2 or 3 inch body lift ?

Hey i have a F-250 HD and want to run larger tires but cant afford a lift kit, both body lifts would accept larger tires but wich one would look better on the truck overall ( as in would you see the fram to much or ont the higher i go to the point it would look stupid)

AND WHAT IS THE LARGEST TIRES I COULD RUN WITH EACH LIFT hIEGHT AND WIDTH



thx




F-250 HD EXTREME 460 v8 2wd turbo .... now pushing 250,000 miles and 395 hpr i also have 4 foot wipes oneach side of the bed for the Rednecktrucker look

460 turbo and 395 hp huh? Lets see that turbo and dyno sheet.

As for your question... All body lifts look bad to me. Save your money and get a suspension lift. A search will turn up many results for you.

That looks perfect like it is. What size tires are on it?

Don't put a crappy body lift on it. Save your cash for something else.

I would just leave it like it is.

Since its 2wd, I wouldn't lift it. I have been there and done that before. My truck is back to stock ride height now.

Are you sure the tires are only 7 inches wide? I think the wheels might be 16x7 or something like that. Whats the actual size of the tires?

This link might help you select new tires.
