Hey All

I just recently bought a 2001 F150 Extended Cab. Iam a Diesel engine mechanic by trade and have built several hot rods in the past but this will be my first 4X4 project. I dont want to go crazy but I would like to be able to throw a couple of big tires (35"??) on it without compromising too much or having to spend huge amounts of money. It will be going off road but just for a little bit of fun, nothing like what you see in the magazines. I live in a small town and take it out on the highway quite abit which is one of the reasons why I dont want to make it too big or sacrafice too much fuel economy. Is there a happy medium to the two? If anyone could help out with a few suggestions it would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Al

Why not just do a body lift with some fender flares. You should have the same road manners but a little more clearance from the bigger tires. This would be the cheap way to go. I would sawzal the fenders and install flares for the extra wheel clearance. Just a thought:laughing:
