Been lurking here for a while - good site with a lot of good info. I'm a new diesel owner - bought an '07 F250 XLT SC FX4 with the 6.0. So far, I love the truck. Got a couple of questions.

1. Going to put a leveling kit on. What does everyone recommend?

2. My truck came with the el-cheapo 17" wheels and 265 series tires. I would like to upgrage to 18" - can I go with a 9" wide wheel and 305/65 tires and still fit?

3. Fog lights - these weren't included on my truck and I want to add them. Are there any aftermarket lights that will fit in the stock locations? Brackets?

Welcome to the site! As you've already found out, there's a ton of great info just waiting to be found.

To start you off on some answers, I recommend you go to the "Read First" folder. You'll find a lot of your answers there.

I can't help you much...mine's bone stock.

1) most here recommend Donohue Racing
2) My stock F350 with stock 18s fit 305s with no rubbing. (see gallery)
3) don't know...

DON"T GO WITH THE 18"! There aren't too many tire options. At least the last time I looked.
