Leveling kit Question??
I have a '04 F-150 Screw FX4 I am looking at putting a leveling kit on and want to know if anyone has a leveling kit and kept the LT275 on with the 18" wheels. I would like to keep the wheels but am having trouble finding tires to fit. Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated?

Nittos are good! You can get 285/60R16 or even bigger 325/60R18's.
I have PICs in my gallery of the 325's (35 inch) mine are the 65's not the 60's.
I had the 325/60R18s with just the Daystar 2.5 Leveling kit and had a small rub when fully cranked. These were 33's!
Now I have the 325/65R18's but also have a 3" Body lift. The are 35's!

Is there a way to correct the speedometer and odometer when you get bigger tires?
Is there an expert around that can tell me what would be the best thing to do with my 05 Lariat if I wanted to get bigger tires on 18" rims? Hell I would even consider buying smaller rims if that makes the tire choices better, but it would suck to throw out the almost $1200 I spent on the new rims a couple days ago. I was curious to know the rule of thumb with when it's necessary to upgrade the gears and if you can calibrate the speedometer to the new tires....
I have the 3.55 gear ratio with 18" rims using the stock BFG tires (265/60/18). The new rims I have are 9" wide. I was thinking Nitto or possibly even the BFG Rugged Trail T/A tires. I like the more "off-road" look rather than the sport truck look that I have now, but I don't want major meaty tires because most of my driving is on the freeway. What to do?
