Like Dave said, there are way too many variables. Each lift is going to be different. The James Duff lift I got was 3" and with only about an inch trimmed off the wheel wells, I was running 33x12.50 on stock aluminum rims. You most likely will have to choose a lift and then mount the tire of your choice (33" tires range in sizes as well depending on manufacturer) and see how the suspension moves and if any other modification is needed. Good luck.

im runnin 15x7's with 5in on BSing. the springs i have in mine dont flex verry well in the front. the rear does. extended radius arms help to. ya need to fing the right springs

[john86]

so you think 5 in would do then. And would u reccomend using blocks for the rear. and do the f 150 front coil springs work.

[Ranger Dave]

are you buying a lift?? or gonna make one. F150's wont flex

anything over 2in and your gonna need caster/camber bushings.

[john86]

thanks

[john86]

so y would those coils not work. or what ones would u use. i'm makeing my own and i am not goona just want it to be an off road vehicle. i may need it for other stuff.

[Ranger Dave]

the F150?? there to tall and to stiff. your gonna need radius arm and axle piviot drop bracks ta do it right. other wise the front wheels are gonna be like this \ /. for the heck of it go jack your B2 up from the bumpa and watch the fromt wheels

[Ranger Dave]

look here and and compare springs

another thing, your gonna have to change the rear drive shaft to a Double Cardan one. there will be to much of a angle and the single joint one wont take it

[john86]

so they will not work at all. and also where do i get that kind of drive shaft
