having a solid axle rig now is awesome and cheap to lift. the ol red one was IFS and $$$
3" should do me fine for now because i want to keep my tires i have now.
the pic you sent over looked like a body lift same height as the suspension lift and it had factory tires so thats what it may look like
ya i hear you when is started to look for lifts for my truck it pissed me off how much cheaper the 2500 lift's were

nah i like the wheels and tires on her now plus ther brand new so i thin a 3" lift is a good way to start. for only 200 bucks i can get 3" suspension. not bad later down the road when tires go south ill do 35's and do a bit more on the lift . im lovin the solid axle cheap and easy.

thanks for all the pics brothers OL RH thanks ya

The 265/70 17's that were on my 01 F150 were about 31.7" tall.
Yes, most 275/60R20's are 33" tall.

275mm wide/ 60% as tall as they are wide (aspect ratio) 20 (obviously rim diameter).

265/70R17 = 265mm wide/ 185.5mm from rim to tread,on 17" wheel = 31.6" tall

185.5mm(7.3") x 2 + 17=31.6
Each tire manufacturer will vary a little. Confused yet??
