This is very loosely a representation of what I am thinking for a console. I am thinking a kick up in the front to tie into the dash, and maybe some gauges in there? It will flare up to the bottom portion of the dash (with the key and a bunch of *****) in the bottom picture.

 

nice ted! oh, yea i dig the grabber a/t's. these are 315's, 35". D rated, nice ride and quiet, pretty tough too.

 

Thanks for the reply. I really need new tires, and I really like these. I am kind of torn between actually doing the prerunner thing on mine and lifting it, and just keeping the stock(ish) size tires. For me, I would like no more than 33s, but if I did them, I would want 3.73s. I can just keep the 3.55s and 31s for a lot less, and for ground clearance just shave the diff.

Ahhh! Decisions

 

I have a stock 95 F-150 and I was wanting some opinions on what to do. I'm in a debate weather I should lift it 6inches and put 35's on it or just level it out and put 31's. opinions? Maybe some advice did pros and cons? Thanks, just joined and don't know how to create own thread so using this one.

 

Well, first a few things. There is a section just for your year truck, so more in-depth questions would be appropriate there. You can create a new thread by clicking on the "new thread" oval in the main section of any subcategory.

Now, as far as the lift question, it really depends on what you want the truck for. Lift and larger tires involve a lot more to work properly, like better brakes, gearing, possibly steering upgrades, etc. Evaluate what your real needs are and then consider what would really work for you.

Oh, and welcome to FTE!

 

Ok thanks Lot. Ill try that then. And as for the lift that's what I want, but the problem is all the other work going to be involved. I just don't know if that's worth it. I've always wanted this style truck. Perfer 4WD, but even with having a lifted truck I never have really been re person to take it out romping on it, that's usually what four wheelers would be for. Anyways I thank you for your help.

manny, welcome bud! lifted 2-by's can romp too!

 

In some ways, a 2wd can be more fun than 4. I have the good fortune of having a job where I get paid to offroad. It's not hardcore offroading, but the interesting thing is that most people swear they need a 4wd, and I have a 2wd and go all over the place.

The recipe: good tires, locker, and weight in the back.

 

my buddy made me some temp shock mounts so I can drive the girl around.
and we mounted some tabs so we could bolt up a set of old skool Cibie lights

 

i had to pull a friend out of this sewer line today it was next to a creek i was in two wheel drive and the ground gave way started slippin into a ditch at one point switched it over to 4 and cruised right out no problem. 4 wheel drive can save your *** sometime.

 

^^ no doubt bud!

 

Good to see the old girl getting some love! Grinding those shock mounts off when you put the 14's on won't be fun, but hey - at least you get to drive it again

 

i hear ya steve, but man it's awesome to drive her again!

 

**little update- after reading and some hints from Ted, replaced the leaking master cylinder and booster Friday night. the m/c leaked into the booster and ate it up. now she's back on the road, and able to stop without the frantic pumping action. I just went ahead and used the oem stuff, one day i'll switch to the F350 9" booster when I get one ton beams and dual piston brakes on.

 

Good to hear it is back up and running. On my old truck, when I first got it, the booster would leak down. It was a little disconcerting to say the least because sometimes it had power brakes, sometimes manual.
