Bigger tires

[Bbbs]

I just purchased a Big Ben and love it! I've been searching for a lift kit that will not void the warranty and doesn't alter the geometry of the steering, or suspension too much. Maybe a body, plus suspension lift. I'd like to switch from the factory 225 tires to a 245x65x17 or even a larger 265x70x17 which are about one inch larger in height and width than the 245s. I'm not going to be doing anything crazy like rock crawling, just Florida sugar sand, and a taller stance. Thanks

This is a unibody design. No such thing as a body lift for this. 1.5 is about the most you will do with a suspension lift. 245/65-17 is about as big as you can go without cutting the pinch welds.

Ok, thanks. I have a pretty new set of Cooper 265x70x17 on my F150 and thought I might get lucky. 245s will work!

We would like to second the 245/65 being a solid choice if you are not looking to do any modifying.

This will give you 1/2" of gain in ride height, also about 3/4" in width. We would love to help further, pm on the way.
