Would a 3 inch front 2.5 inch rear BTF lift work on a 2002 mountaineer? If so what size tires could be ran.?

You would need to look into their extended upper control arms so you don't max out your ball joint. You would be able to run 265/75's, some people have stuffed 285's with some trimming. With the loss in fuel mileage, I would't recommend going bigger than 265's.

Any lift over 1.5" should really use the control arms. If you do a 3" and 2.5" lift without them the ball joints WILL rip out on you when you are driving.
