First off this is my first post, and secondly yes i have read and searched throughout the forum and other forums for help. I need new tires and have been wanting to get a lift at the same time. I want a rize but that will never happen due to me already having a 2006 F250 with a 6" fabtech suspension on 37's. My boss the wife wants to keep this truck better suited as our daily driver with mild off road capabilities. I Live in central texas, i don't go rock climbing but or go balls to the wall mudding or go high speeds on off road conditions. I do however go to our ranch in Mexico where larger tires are very helpful. I will be using this Expo for work and hunting which includes hitting the trails off the beaten path that do have mud and muck and want to get to my destination without getting stuck before my morning duck hunt. with that being said this is what I've found.
1. stay away from a 3"+ lift if possible
2. The Rancho easy lift struts are hit and miss for some people getting too much sag.
3. i know you can stuff 35x12.5 with the proper back spacing, but cant seem to find where i saw that. so I'm not sure what that is.
I want to run 35x12.5 and would like to know how some of you have done it. I'm not interested in a spacer between the spring and coil. that causes too much stress on the coil and the ride is rough. been there and done that not looking to go back. I keep looking at the ready lift 3"f 2"R lift but have heard mixed reviews and not only that it's $400.00. Truxx is a 2.75"F 2"R for $275.00 which is comparable to the Rough Country 2.5"F 2"R. I don't mind spending hard earned money but i find it hard to spend $400.00 for a spacer that only lifts .5" and costs and additional $125.00. I also keep seeing lifts on ebay just don't know if they are good or bad lifts.
