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.

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.

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

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
