Hey Ya'll,

I have a 1992 F-150 and i jus bought some 31's for my truck. I measured from the ground to the chrome trim piece of the fender lip and its 33 inches and i was wondering if i needed to put a lift kit on my truck so the tires wont rub on the inner fender or the wheel wells. and if you could tell me how big of a kit i would need that would be very much apprecitated

It sounds like it will be a tight fit.

I needed tire clearance on my '94, so I had front coils from an F250 installed, and re-arched the rear leaf springs (plus added a leaf) to give me an extra 1.5" all around. It was cheaper than a lift kit and was done by my local spring shop in less than a day.

It might be alright. Remember that some of the "height" will be below the center of the wheel. For example if the new tire is 2 inches bigger it will only be 1 inch closer to anything in the fender well because the 2 inches is split between each side of the wheel. I hope this makes sense. One problem might be the width. I put 33X12's on a jeep and the height worked fine with the lift i had but I had to get new wheels with more of an offset to keep them from rubbin on the inside when i made sharp turns.

so if you were to put the leafs off of a f350 would that be somewhat considered a lift kit cuz of the heavier leafs or would that weight it down a lot, this is the same dude that posted the lift kit, i jus forget my password cause my memory is shot, blame that on coors light, and jack daniels. but would that weight it down a lot and make me sink in the mud or not
