Can anyone out there confirm what Beerstalker said. Can I fit 35/12.5/18 on my stock 2009 XLT Superduty without any modifications. I'm looking at BF's T/A KO or Pro Comp's.

Yes, you should be able to run 35X12.5R18 with the 18X8 OEM wheels with no rubbing issues.

Leveling Kit

Has anyone used the Bilstein leveling kit yet? I think it's just longer coil springs and longer shocks? Brings the truck up 2 inches or so? And if I put that kit on how large of a tire can I safely put on the stock 20 inch rim?

Yeah, stock tires on 2005+ trucks came as tall as 34+ inches. I don't think a tire smaller than 31" came stock on 2005+ trucks. I thought my 265/70/17 were the smallest single rear wheel tire you could get.

So, 34" comes stock, 35" fit stock (width of course plays a part too, so you have to realize that as well).

The only thing I don't like (right now) on my new truck is the 1400 dollar upcharge for the Mich LTX AT's. Didn't stop me from buying it because everything else was exactly what I was looking for, including the 20" rims.

I got stopped, not stuck because I have 4x4 of course, in about 3 inches of top surface mud. I could not even spin my way out of it, I'm glad no one saw because that would have been embarrassing.

I have tried all the tires that will still give a good safe ride towing and highway driving, I will never go away from BFG AT's. They even work well in GA red clay (slicker than cow snot on a hot train track) you just need to spin them.

I've been unable to find a tire available except the Goodyear.

I just bought the 275/65/20 BFG's TA/KO I have not put them on yet but I hear good things about them. I also was wondering how u guys are rotating these tires? I go front to back then I criss cross is this proper for a 4x4?
