I'm running 24x14. You will absolutely have to have the bumper moved forward 2" and trim some. 40s MAY fit with 12" wide. There's no way they would fit on mine. If you need more pics let me know.

Are you from OC? I recognize the restaurant in the background. Who did your sounds? That's next on my list.

Is that the max you can fit back there? 2 10's? I'm coming from an 08 6.4 and I had 4 10's glassed to the back wall. I know there's a lot more junk on the newer ones back there and my rear window was also manual so no motor.

It's two 8s but yeah I tried 10s and 13s will not fit, unless you willing to move stuff and cover up the vents.

I'm pretty sure the vents were covered up on my last setup. Pic below. What are the drawbacks with them being covered?

Not sure exactly I've heard it messes with cabin pressure which can reduce HVAC efficiency and effectiveness, doors harder to close etc. Never experienced it myself but just left it as is.

Msdt, those are some good looking steps. Brand? I agree with tuclai, yours was screenshot'd awhile ago for my build idea. I'm waiting on my silver f350 to show up still, hopefully soon. Tuclai, I've seen your updates on FB and man your putting in work! I can't imagine how many hours you've spent on it. Looks good!

your guys trucks are making it hard to wait to get mine lifted!
i decided on the Fabtech radius arm kit, now I need to decide on the shocks. I really like the look of the dirt logics but I'm not sure if they are worth nearly twice as much as the fox 2.0.
