1992 sport
I have a 92' sport currently with a Super lift 5.5" and exstended radius arms and SOA. I am running 33x10.50/15 BFG M/T's. I would like to go 35's or even 37's. I was thinking about doing Daystar 2" Spacers with F-150 mounts under them, 1.25" warrior shackles and possibly small blocks just to level it out. By my math that would give me another 3" 0f lift. And That should clear 35's. And A body lift on top of all of this should clear 37's. My question is if anyone has done this in the front or anything simular? Will it work? Will I need longer shocks than the Ranchos that came with my lift? I mostly use my truck as a driver. But I do wheel it pretty often, so I want a suspension that works. Thanks. L8.

dotn want to rain on your parade, but i dont think thats a good idea... the sl 5.5 has provisions for the diff dropping and the camber caster adjustments after lift, however the daystar spacer and the f150 seat is going to make you tires horrible \ / and the coils may very well be trying to pop out of their seats sideways.....

also do you wheel or want the looks? becasue everyone has an opinion on this, but if you are rough on your truck, its going to break as the d35 is strong, almost as strong as a d44, but 35 or 37s is pushing its limits in my opinion
 






37's won't work very well with a stock front end, especially if you do ANY wheeling.
 






Fiberglass fenders would be better if you want larger tires in the front,If you take your rig offroad their is a few runs coming up here in the WA & OR check out my signature or PM for more Info
 






I agree with the gentlemen above. You will want to consider regearing with the larger diameter tires.
