4" with 33's or 6" with 35's?
 
I have a 99 F-250 light duty pick-up truck and i want to lift it for looks mostly but when i want to go 4x4'ing i don't have to worry. Everyone tell me to stay with a 4" suspension lift kit with 33's, but I think that the tire will sit in the wheel well and that is not the look i am looking for but don't want the look of a under sized tire either. I have recently been told if I get and 6" suspension lift and 35's it will not sit in the wheel well and will still look good without to many more mod's need accept a traction bar and new rims and other small things. I would appriate any advise, personal opinions/experiances, and any pics that would give me a idea of what it would look like with my truck. Thanks in advance.

I love the radial tires for one. I would never go back to bias ply on my nice rig. They will vibrate it apart. Ok for mud runners but not for everyday street driving.

The lift comes with a guarantee that you'll like the springs or you can return it and get $100 more back than you paid. It's kinda silly because that $100 aint nearly what it'd be worth to go through all the trouble to take them back off but I kinda liked it anyway. Also it was the best deal that I could find. It seems to sit kinda tall for 8" but I really don't have anything to compare to. I know others say you shouldn't run 38's with 8" because it'll rub but mine never does no matter how much I hit things at odd angles. I haven't done any real off-roading though so maybe it will. I don't plan on jumping it or anything crazy like that so I think it'll be fine.

The cons are that it wobbles when the tires are cold after sitting all night. It lost quite a bit of power with the big tires. My wife pulls a muscle every time she gets in it:D Cops stare:(

I'm going to have 6" lift with 38" tires I think people want to get to high because they don't like to have a close up veiw of the ground from inside their truck.

Will 35's in a 6" lift clear the wheel well's and the other question is if not will the tires rub?
