well i finally broke down and got new 35 12.50 18 mickey thompson atz and a 2.5 inch leveling kit and their great and i love them ..they ride great no noise feels like a stock truck .i got the leveling kit on ebay and install in a bout 45 mins in all it really easy ...tires do rub a little at full lock due to mud flaps but is very miner ...i have the pic in my gallary just wanna to share pics for all to see

 

 

truck looks awsome. quick queston. how well does the airaid jr work? it looks like just the stock intake tube in replaced and you still use the same filter housing and stock filter. i was thinking about trying it out but didnt know anybody who has had one.

 

Truck looks great!!!

Do you think they would rub if you did not have mud flaps? And do you think you are going to have trouble with them rubbing even worse when you off-road?

I am trying to decide if I should do 33s or 35s when I get new tires at the end of the summer.

 

well thanks guys ...my air intake has been great works well made a little differents all around but when i got and exhaust is when it really picked up ....and about my mud flaps thay rub just a little at full lock and i really haven't try yet off road or at hard angle yet ...but i did have to make a bracket to hold the wheel liner back so it didn't rub to... i went with 35 over 33 beacuse in the 18inch tires their the same price pretty much

 

looks good, although i really have a hard time accepting the HUGE tire look.

 

well i just got back from so off roadin
tires did great no problems with tire rubing went through so deep water and a few hill climbs ...only downer was it took 5 mile to shake the rocks and mud out of the tires

 

Which leveling kit on Ebay did you buy? I'm trading my '04 F250 on a '04 F150 on Monday and was just looking at leveling kits. I get nervous about buying cheap stuff on ebay.

 

op: truck looks great...got any pics of the bracket you made?

^^^ those guys rock. they make one the most popular leveling kits for the F-150...and the quality is top notch

 

i got mine from hell bent steal it has very nice computer welds and it was powder coated too so its not gonna rust

i can take pics of the brackets once it stop rain today

 

HEy Silver05FX4,
Thanks for the off road update.

By the way I noticed on your signature that you say the tires are 305/65/18 but in the picture on your gallery they are 305/70/18...just thought I would let you know.

 

It's ammazing how a leveling kit really makes these trucks look 10 x better.

Nice truck!

 

heres the pics of my bracket to hold the fender liner back

 

cool, I appreciate the pics

 

That combo of levelling kit and tires looks awesome on your truck. Nice job on those brackets too.
