Well I'm running 38/15.50/18's on a 7" lift on a 2006. Your 2011 has larger fenders then 2006 so I'm gonna say yea it's gonna fit.

 

Thanks for the info man, was just reading that a 6 inch lift could only run 35s and it got me thinking. I ran 35s on a 06 F150 with a 2.5 inch level so I don't see how the 6 inch lift wouldn't fit 37s.

Thanks,
Nick

 

and I run 37's with an 8" lift cause with my 7" lift they rubbed
but mine is an 06 so I stay away from guessing about clearances on the 2011 up

 

Was thinking about doing a 8.5" lift, but here in mass they're so strict, I believe the formula is wheel base / wheel track * 2200, which I estimated to be around 4.5 inches of lift between suspension and tires. I was thinking I could probably get away with the 6 inch lift, but come inspection time I don't know If I could get away with an 8.5 inch lift. Maybe I could get some 30inch tires to throw on come inspection time.

Thanks,
Nick

 

LOL pizza cutters for inspection

mine rubbed in the back inner fender and despite the reported larger wheel opening on the 6.7
i don't think the inner fender changed? you can do some things to suck the liner in tight

another thing you can do is set your jounce stop back to factory specs after the lift this may help prevent stuffing the tire when you hit a bump while turning

 

It's terrible, they don't want you touching any vehicles, they want everything stock. The sad part is the police force typically doesn't care, it's just the inspectors do. I have some time to do more research. Just don't want to install the 6 inch lift and have it rub. Nor do I want to install an 8.5 inch lift and not pass inspection. A friend of mine who is in the police force told me I should be fine with a 6 inch, but the 8.5 is pushing it.

7" w/ 37". Had to cut off part of the bumper bracket.

 

Wow awesome looking truck man. What are you guys running for offset and backspacing?

Nick

 

I would think they will fit but of coarse size wheel and backspace plays a factor. My wheels are 18x9 with 5" backspace and only place I trimmed was the black plastic under rear of fender down low. Then rounded off the black plastic under bumper on ends. Only rubbed there a bit at full lock and that's big fat 15.50's. Now I went with wheels that stay under the truck as much as was possible. There is no inset on my wheels at all, they don't look deep at all. I would have liked even 10" wide wheels but they just don't make many these days since most tires stop at 12" widths.
But it is what it is, when I was a youngster you could get wide truck tires from lots of companies in 15" and even 16.50 widths. I used to love those because a lot of us ran the trucks down in the Consumnes River and it made all the difference. Guys with the 12" wide tires were hooked to our winches a whole lot more often then any of us with the wide tires.
Times have changed, I was told Obama put a 35% fuel wasting excise tax on all the truck tires over 12" and that shut the far majority of them down. I know when I bought my F250 in 2010 there were lots of listings for the Dick Cepek and other brands I can no longer remember but none available. That problem was exactly why I ended up with 38" tires, wanted 36". Only saw one 36x15" tire but it only came on a 20" wheel and I don't like big wheels. I'm still living in the past I admit it.

@Skyd Ram will know exactly what will fit as long as he has all the tire and wheel info. He is also a good place to pick up a lift etc. He's in and out I'm sure he will chime in and tell you what will go for you.

Good Luck with it, BTW the 13.50's look pretty good to me. I can see those in my future as well....

 

Thanks for all the info man. Wow that crazy I'm young and never really got to experience those days. Don't think i've ever seen a wheel wider than 13.5. That would be great if Skyd Ram could give me some information on the Lift and Tires.

Thanks,
Nick

 

Bump. Anyone have a similar setup with any problems?

 

18"x9", 4.5" BS. No clue and don't care what the offset is because this is a truck, not a Honda Civic. I have OUO ALAs, so I could position the axle forward enough so the tire doesn't rub on the fender liner. Going forward brought the bumper bracket into play though.

 

That's NICE..................

18x9 with 4.5 backspace looks perfect. They look a little deeper then my 18x9 5" B/S

I LOVE the OUO 3Link system those are pure sweetness there my friend.
I wish you sent a set to me. They are the ultimate radius arm option available today.

Now you need to start working on the ride quality.
I have a 7" lift on my truck with Icon coils and Carli/Deaver full leafs in the back.
The ride is so nice that whoever rides in my truck cannot believe how well it goes down the road.

FYI the rear suspension has so much impact on the ride quality. I went with the 2008 and newer leafs so they would drop right into your truck.

Take it a little at a time, but I assure you a suspension upgrade is worth every cent.


Keep the photos coming. Looks good man ......

PS I zip tied my rear fenders back a touch to keep tires clear. I drilled two little -/4" holes in center of plastic and Fed in the zip ties. Then grabbed that and pulled back by the frame.

 

Thanks for the info, the truck does look very good. What lift are you running and would you recommend it?

Thanks,
Nick

 

It's a 7" lift made up of Icon coils, radius arm drop brackets, tracbar and drop bracket, drop pitman arm , One Up Offroad ALAs, traction blocks, drop transmission cross member, carrier bearing bracket, front axle truss and diff cover, drop swaybar brackets, and Fox shocks and steering dampers.

 

I just instaled 37" BFG's with a 4" lift no problems.
They will rub the springs on hard turns to full lock but no biggie to me.
Some people cannot stand that but I do not understand that mentality.
When I installed the 38.5 " Mickey Thompsons I had to trim the trailing edge of the fenders and i also bumbed the fornt bumper forward with 2" spacers But I think the 37"ers would fit regardless of the trimming.
Attached is the pic of the setup..and you can prolly see the trimming of the front fenders.

It sounds like, to run 37" tires, many go waaayyy overboard on a lift kit size.
Like I said, I fit 38" Mickeys on a 4" lift with minor trimming.

Also attached a pic of the Mickeys on it.

 

Now with 38" Toyo MTs

 

Can anyone tell me the average cost to have a 6" suspension lift installed?

 

It really depends on the lift chosen, and the condition of the vehicle. If there is a ton of rust, then it'll be more. If it's a complex system, it'll be more. I was going to install my system myself but I ended up injuring my shoulder and elbow motorbiking and had it installed. Cost me $1200 which included alignment and various fluids, etc. I had a front axle truss and new differential cover installed at that time.

 

I was thinking about the Pro Comp 6'' On my 04 F250 6.0. I was quoted at $650 for the installation. Do you recommend getting anything additional when I have the install? And is that a good price?

 

i'd say thats a decent price. it normally has taken us 8 hours of labor with 2-4 people on hand and no lift, only floor jacks. a place that does them for a living would have a lift , be more experienced, and have bigger tools so at $100/shop hour, figure 6 hours or so. i'd call 650 a fair (to low) price for the labor involved.

 

Thanks so much for all the info guys!! I really appreciate it!!
