16.5? wheels with 36-37" on my 08?

[WILD_PHIL]

OK guys currently I have 16.5" rims on my 05 F250. Looks like that truck might be selling soon. I have 6inch lift and 2" spacers all the way around. I'm going to the shop on the 15th to pull the wheels, and possibly the lift. I come to y'all asking if there's any way to avoid running a 6" lift but still use these wheels and tires on my truck. 4.75" BS with -20mm offset. Currently the tires are military 36" bias ply. I know not many of you have experience with these tires so answer to the best of your ability based off the BS and offset of these rims. Thanks

well im not sure the wheels will clear the brakes. i know 17" will, 16" wont.. but i know some guys are clearing 37's with just a leveling kit with some rubbing.. so i dont think 6" would be neccesary. 4" would probably suffice

If your running the 2"wheel spacers then yes you will need 6" lift - if you do not run the spacer then you could get away with 2-4" lift but I'm not sure if the wheels will fit at that point.

i didnt think about the spacer.. hes on the money

Yep correct. I'll have to run the spacers. So what do I need to make the 05 6" lift work on my 08?

Allot if not all of it will be the same - I'd put them side by side and swap away.

I've been told there's one additional part needed. Something in the steering I think. I don't remember

The front end stuff is different

You jut need the front box kit from truck Toyz and you'd be set to go.

Get ahold of Sak and he will get you taken care of

Randal I'm a dealer for rough Country and just got all the part numbers from them yesterday. Does it matter what company I buy the front end parts from?

 

[TXGLASSMAN]

Shouldn't matter, as long as rough country has the front end parts you need. I know Icon makes a front box kit that comes with all that stuff and is relatively in expensive

From what I can see in the pictures you will need:

Track bar drop bracket
Sway bar spacer/ steering stabilizer mount
Sway bar links

What about brake line extensions?

 

[SAK]

Your current kit already has the bracket, use those unless you want SS lines.
