Finally got lift on. Pics to come.

Today I got my lift on. YIPEEEEEEEEEEE. Then I got home and saw my brothers truck. He said he was gonna work on it but i wasnt sure what. He heard i was getting a lift a month ago and he went and did the upstaging bigger brother thing. Just to show I was the little brother he bought a 9'' lift with 37'' tires... Now just to get close to him Im gonna buy a body lift. So my question is whats the biggest tires i an put on my sport with 3'' spindles 3'' bl and abouta 2'' t-bar crank.

Pics of my truck and his will be up when its daytime.

Hes got a 2004 f150 thats decked out with off roading stuff. Since I have those huge fender flares and my 31s already rub the bottum side i think 37s would rip em off. So unless anyones got some flex pics with anything bigger than 35s ill prob just go with that but I still wont be as tall..............

lmao YOU WILL not get 38s on there without some nice fabing..id say some 35x12.50 would be nice or maybe some 36's but i wouldnt go bigger or youll have to start cuttin for room..backspacing on the rims really helps too..make sure its over or around 3.75"

Yeah I felt like being nice today. I was thinking, what better way could I let you start off your week; then it clicked. I will park next to you so you can see my truck, that would bring a smile to your face! lol

Did you drop a class or something (ref: you getting out earlier than me)?
