Thanks Guys. I had to take it in for the last few things to be installed so I have my F150 again for a few days... Long wait until Wednesday when I can pick it up for good. Best Christmas gift I ever bought myself.
Yes they are Duratracs, in stock 275/70/R18 size. I'm glad they look a little oversized as I think the stock michelens look a little small on these trucks. I would have run a bigger tire if they made one (I wanted 285/75/R18), but they don't. I really liked those wheels so I stuck with 18's over the 20's. Also, I'm not a huge fan of chrome so I opted for the lariat base plastic running boards. My primed grille surround is on back order, but once it's in I'll change out the chrome surround with a red one. That should make a big difference.
And yes, from Alberta.

Are you asking me to? haha
I'll leave them chrome...at least for now. All the upgrades and options at once has left a good size hole in my wallet. I just want to do the grille surround soon to break it up. I was going to order the Platinum center bars as well for the pattern on them, but they have a matte finish and are nearly $500/bar...so that's a no go.

The tires are stock size, 275/70r18. The surround is on back order from my dealer... Hope it's here soon. I've run the duratracs on my F150 and they were great, that's why I put them on this one too. They are great in snow.
