I bought a 2002 ford expy XLT and I want to put bigger tires on it, I wanna run with BFG's maybe 30-33's? will it rub if I do this on stock height? I have 16" rims and plan on doing a 3" lift either way.

do a search...this has been answered MANY times...searching by desired height for lift may produce better results...g/l

A 3" lift will be more than enough.

Don't go any smaller than 33's. You'll be disappointed with anything smaller. 3 inch lift no problem. I did a 3 inch Body Lift , and have 2 inch spacers in the back, and did a simple 2 inch torsion twist on the front and I easily fit 35's.

That's exactly what I needed to know :p thank you! I'm new to trucks, used to lowering cars haha. I love the expy and this forum!

your welcome... i dont know what wheels you have but i think the 17" EB wheels are a nicer looking wheel if your looking for that... post up some pics when you get a chance
