Beefing up my 89 F250 and am looking for tires. If I put a 3 inch body lift and 2 inch suspension lift, what is the biggest tires I can fit? 37's?

 

Well here are some pics of my F350 and my F250

350 stock with 35s



my 250 on 37s with a dana 60 and 3 inches of suspension lift (sits identical to my F350)

 

Awesome! those trucks are wicked mean! man I love Ford. Alright thanks man that's good news. I was hoping I wasn't going to have to put much more of a lift. I should have plenty then with 3inch body and 2 inch suspension

 

I also love that custom front bumper with the winch. How much did that run ya?

 

Yeah these trucks have amazing fender well room stock

The bumper is from bronco graveyard in their winch bumper section. I paid like 650 for it shipped when it first came out. But now they are almost 1000 to get to my door or else all my trucks would have them

 

Ya i am from "the county" and would not drop $1,000 on a bumper I could make out of some old farm equipment

 

Well I looked into replicating this one, easier said than done. Its pretty well reinforced.

 

Ya I am making the stock bumper I had on mine a bit tougher by reinforcing right behind the front of it and also from top to bottom. We have a lot of old skidder trails that my buddies and I open back up and my F250 comes in handy when I need to snap an 8 inch tree and push it out of the way. stock bumper wouldn't hold up too long with me.

 

No the stock bumpers offer little actual protection. The red truck in my photos met its demise from a 14 inch spruce going about 50mph. My friend didnt know about a T in the road while he was driving it. I miss that truck a lot

 

Well Ford's are tough but I don't think anything could have lived through that. you got any pictures of the truck after?

 

It would have been rebuildable but it curved the frame and bent the forward crossmemeber pretty badly so its parts now



thats what my head did to the windshield, thank god I was drunk off my azz lol

 

Seatbelt FTW!

 

Bah! no need for such a thing. I walked away other than being stiff and sore for a few weeks

 

Very lucky.

 

Being drunk could have saved you, you were probably a lot more relaxed when the truck hit.

 

It didnt hurt me being drunk I can say that much. The catch of it all is I was actually being responsible for a change and letting someone else drive since I was drinking. Well had I been driving we would have never been going that fast nor would I have even been on that road.

 

way to go

 

Yeah it really kinda pisses me off about it all. I havent let anyone drive any of my trucks since
