New in 2005 was the much improved brakes. Form managed to get it right finally. Unfortunatly the bigger rotors will not let 16" rims fit any more. Double damn is that in 17 or 18 inch the current tire selection id piddly poor.
There are some options if you don't need the max GVWR you axles will handle but full 3400lb, 3500lb, or 3640lb tires are few and far between and tread selection is even slimer.
Most of us got the Continental ContiTrac TR a mud and snow tire Ford tried to make us believe was an All Terain tire... plenty of posts on this topic in the SuperDuty forum.
I don't know if you will or will not like the BFGs but I bet they are better than the Contis.
Congrats on the new ride, post up a signature, and tell us all about your new found BSEG.

97F250XLT, Best of luck with your new truck. I hope it is everything you expect it to be.
My 05 is the first new pickup out of the 8 new Ford pickups I have bought that has exceeded my expectations in power, fuel economy , and the ability to give me a BSEG.
