Talking Tire Opinion and front Lean!!

Hey everyone.. this is my first truck and I have a couple of newbie questions,

1. I have a set of 17" and 18" rims.. I would like to put meater tires on and would like to know what are some suggestions. FYI, I have a 150 Supercrew with the bushwacker flares and I have received several comments that the 17 are too small.

2. why does my truck look like its slanted down to the front?? is there anything I can do to correct this?

3. and finally is there any tricks I can use to learn how to park my truck properly? (the only stupid question is the one not asked )

1) No idea.

2) The truck does indeed sit higher in the rear, so it "slants" towards the front. This is so that when you drop a load in the bed the rear doesn't sag- the vehicle stays level.

3) Go to a parking lot and practice, practice, practice.

Well as far as tires go 17" tires are cheaper not really sure of selection out there. I have 18" and put dueler revos on it nice looking tire. I think yokohoma will have 18" in AT/S's a new tire here shortly. I wish I could have waited and put yokos on mine not impressed with the revos they are not very good on ice.

As far as the slant I put a 2.5" autospring on mine it looks great. I think it was about 125 dollars for the kit and alignment. The autospring kit is so simple to put on.

As far as parking my 04 screw is very agile but then again I had a 00 Superduty screw long box so any vehicle is easy to park then that.
