Bigger Tires

[latkins]

I bought some 31x10.50 tires and they are rubbing real bad.How much lift will I need?Body or suspension?Dont really want to do any cutting!

do a spacer shackle lift, should be around 150 or so including alignment. A body lift will be around 100 or so new. However, the spacer/shackle lift will give you more clearance under your truck, a body lift will give you no additional clearance under the truck other than what the tires netted you.

F150 lower spring seats ("spacers") from 90's f150 2wd. I got mine from a junk yard.

shackles from desertrat get the warrior brand (WAR153 i beleive)

do some searching, it's been covered many times. You'll want to anyhow just to understand how to put everything together. Good luck.

warriorproducts.com may be the site.. part# war155 i believe..thats an 1.5 int he back i did those with teh procomp AAL from summitracing.com to giv about 3in or a lil less out bck..then up ront i did the daystar 2in lift coil, it sagged and bit and with the old springs i may hav gotten about 1.5-2 of lift..my 31 1060s on an 8in rim rubbed at first, but after proper alignment its all good, they rub when compressed ofcourse, with big bumps while turning liek driveways or sumthin..but other wise..its fine..the AAL and the 2in coil lift all together gets the back a bit higher..and about a 2/3in lift in the suspension that was udner 150 with al the parts and shipping..add alignment

a body lift would be cheaper on you, after a alignment it gets up there. and with a body lift you have 3in. or 2in. (what ever you get) with just spacer shackle lift you only get like 1.5 in. and it cost more. if you got the cash for a suspension lift get springs and all, and do it right. becose your stock springs are shot anyways, so with just spacers you might get back to new stock hight at best.
