Yeah, definitely not doing that. Looks good, but not for me.

I run nitto 35's on stock 2000 f250 xlt v10 I get alot of nay sayers but I have run 35s right from the start. I run off road and only rub if I have the wheel cranked. I have noticed the front springs are starting to sag just a little so interested it what you are doing for the front.

Ah yea...The look of a leveled truck with big tires.

I know exactly what you mean!

Got 22210 front and 222415 rear on my Ex, not sure how those apply to lift on a SD but ended up with 4" front and 3" rear on my Ex, removing the factory block in the rear. Rear sits 1/2 higher than the front now with no blocks. They are stiff though, smooth on the highway and tows like a champ but washboard roads will make your jaw hurt.
