Tire help please

Is anybody running BF Goodwrench tires? I have a 2011 F250 and I'm going to add a 4in block and 2 in leveling kit. I was going to put 285/65/20 BFG A/T on the truck and wanted to see if anyone has gone with this set up. If someone has a F350 with a leveling kit that would also work. Reason for the BFG's is that I dont want to go to aggresive. I would intertain other tire options. Pics would be great. Thanks

I doubt you would have any problem even with a stock truck, And with the lift, absolutely no issues.

The OEM Michelins are 34.4" in diamter, The BFGoodrich are 34.7".

Up to about 35" you should be good with a stock setup.

I put a set of those exact size on mine at 3,000 miles and they only lasted 28,000 miles. I do have to make the disclaimer that I drive rather aggressive, not running over people just accelerating very quickly.

They rode and towed my 11,000 lb 5th wheel excellently. No complaints but was hoping for better mileage.

We're you happy with the look of the BFG's? I think the Nitto Trail Grappler might be to aggressive for me. Most of my driving is city or highway. Don't get me wrong, it's about the looks to

I've been beating myself up over it. The Trail Grapplers look great. I just don't want much road noise. I trailer a boat and travel trailer and just want a great looking tire that performs
