Cartmanea-I am new to the sight but have enjoyed reading your responses to the maginitude of questions being thrown at you. If you don't mind I would like to ask one myself. I have a 2003 Ford F250 Superduty 7.3 with a 3"-4" lift. I ordered Motometal 955's today 20x10 -12 offset with Mickey Thompson 35x12.50 20's. Will the -12 with the 5" backspacing look ok or should I switch to a -25 with a 4.5" backspace? I don't mind the tires sticking out a little bit (1" or so) but don't want to have to worry about tire rubbing on leaf springs. I'm not sure Motometal offers a -25 for the 955 wheels. I really like to look of your 03. Thats about perfect in my opinion. thanks in advance for helping me out-Mark

There is a 1 year warranty on the mirrors, and the cap that is paint to match would be smooth. Tony

6hrs. crap... you sticking with the ghost white, that tube front bumper? i never thought that bumper realy fit your truck, looked like it was missing something. anyway good luck, hope you get er all togeather soon

you start the rebuild yet? looking forward to the write up with picks

Hi Cartmanea, I know you are very knowledgeable about these trucks and also that you have a similar truck to mine being a supercab.
I am getting ready to order Icon's 4 inch lift with the front 4" springs but with the rear blocks for now. Only thing is that i have always understood that the trucks with single driveshafts require using a tapered block instead of the flat rear block which is what Icon includes in their kit.
I'm thinking I may just order the front springs & box kit for the lift, then order some tapered blocks seperately, possibly from Ready Lift.
Just wondering how you did yours and what you think.
thanks a lot for your time and help! Scott

Hi Cartmanea,
New to the site but have been lurking for a while. I have seen you post a bit about wheel/tire questions and you seemed very knowledgable so I figured I would shoot you a line.
I have an '01 F350 w/ 4" lift, currently running 315/75D R16's on factory wheels. I am getting new tires 295/70E R18. My question is on the wheel offset. with this tire being narrower than the last but the wheel being wider (9"), will I need a -12 offset or something else? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Very Respectfully,
RES86

Hey Cartmanea, Is Offroadtech still around? Also, If I may ask how much was that front bumper? Looking to get one as i like the look.

Hey Cartmanea
Just wondering how your truck is coming Did you get it back on the road yet??
Good Luck with it

Thanks. You get that thing put back together, try to keep the wheels on the ground. :-)

Good info on the strategies. Now how can I get a VXAP1 flash?
