ok well im in the same boat as badwolf. i have a new truck i just got an 05 supercab F150 FX4.
but i know a littl bit more i think. im thinking about going atleast 37" tires but no bgger than 40".
first what kinda milage can i expect with that.
second how do you suggest i go about the lift.
i was thinking a 6" fabtech with coil overs, then go with a 3" inch body lift. but could i get a fabtech coilover 8-9 inch lift? i much rather the lift be all suspension no body lift.
along with the lift what do i do about the drive shaft and what are those bars that go from the rear axle to the frame to help keep it from binding.

im trying to build a truck that can tackle anything pretty much but itll be my everyday driving truck. so i want as smooth of a ride i can get.

Look at the Rize 8" and 10" lift kits for your F-150. They are an all "lift" lift, no body lift needed...

You can fit 37's easy with this kit.

As for mileage, probably somewhere in the 8-10 range depending on what gears  you put in it.
