I have a 2000 f350 with 6 inch lift. The tires I think look good. If i could afford bigger i';d do it. But they would hit bumper and they are expensive...heck 1 tire is 200 or so for 35's hence i go to used tire place and buy at least a nmatching used set....I can't afford the truck obviously...but hey the ex gets the $$$$$ and I have my daughter. Gotta love CA.

That truck with the cut-outs is sweet, might have to do that to my truck some day....but for now it's about to get Edge 6" and 37" X-terrains (I think 35's look too small for a 6" lift)...maybe in a couple years, after the truck is a little bit used, I'll start taking it off road more and drop down to 36"s.

dude, 35's would look fine on a 6" lift... i wouldnt run anything bigger (mabye on an EDGE kit they get about 2" more then they ask for).. but not the other brands... anyway as for looks width pays a big role, know a guy with a chev 2500 with 10" lift on swampers.. 35x15 wide.. tires look big, cuase so wide... anyway i run my truck through the dunes and need travel more than looks.. even though i like the way my truck looks.. anyway just for another opinion.. heres my truck 9" up front 10" out back.. on lil..36" PJs

And on the other end of the spectrum from Jetjock's truck here's 38/15.50 PJs under a 4" lift:



I thought it looked pretty mean like that.

















Of course the moment you turn to full lock you slightly kiss the lower corner of the sheet metal on the fender and get into the plastic inner fender pretty good:

Thanks for the input,

I ended up goin with the 6 inch lift (6 in the front, 4 in the back) and put 35's on. I'm happy with the way it looks although i would like to mount up some 37's sometime, just to see how they look.

I have some pics in my gallery of my truck with 37's with a 6.5 inch lift. If that sways your vote anytime down the road, I'd go with those. Rides great on the street and wheels like no other... Just my .02 cents...
