Who's running 35's?
I was going to go with a 6" lift with some 37's but now that I think about it, I only really need to run 35's with like a 4" or 5" lift. I seen some X's on here with that combo, but I dont know if the lift was for the X or a super duty. And any pics or info on your lift would be great. Thanks

check out the Lifted X thread. tons of super nice X's on 35" rubber in there
just remember that the X is top heavy. the more lift/tire you have, the more "fun" corners and high speed maneuvers will be

I'm running 8in of lift and 315's now on 10in rims and like how it looks although the tires do look a little small with that much lift, but with 6in of lift I still had some inner fender well rub and wanted to clear that up.
Since I tow my boat long distances and do long distance trips as well I don't want to go any bigger on tires and I did put in 4.30 gears which helped alot over the stock 3.73. Suprisingly I did not increase highway mpg but did pick up average and town and made a big difference towing the boat, I picked up another 2-3mpg with the gear change and can now tow in O/D and the truck does not shift in and out all the time like it use to whether I was towing or not, in fact on some of my trips non-towing where I would be shifting up and down at every hill with CC on, it hardly ever shifts out and can keep on trucking.

Thanks for all the info guys. Guess I'm going to run a 4" super duty lift with some 35's and maybe 18's or 20's, don't know yet. I like how 18's look on 35's with some sidewall
