12.5" wide....will put your tire about 1/4" from rubbing the upper control arm

4x2: 34" tall with 2.5" leveling kit
4x4: 35" tall with 2.5" leveling kit


Might have slight rubbage on lock-lock...but a bit of fender well trimming usually seems to fix that

yes. I have test fit them myself, and they fit just fine. Avoid the super aggressive side lug tires though...like Baja Claws. They might rub the upper control arm


Look up BrianjWilson. He has an identical version of my truck with 3512.5/18 KM2 mudders. He and I swapped a few PM's and he says he has 0 issues with them after 8,000 miles.

I went with that same size in the BFG KM2s. I've no problems. I would have liked the look of a wider tire, but I couldn't afford the extra $50/tire to go 1/2" wider. Plus with the aggressive side tread I've only got about 1/4" between the tire and the control arm as it is, so it would have been close.

Tirerack has some good prices, but I found even better prices on Discount Tire Direct. My local Discount Tire store matched the online price.

A guy on another Ford forum got a good deal on some Mickey Thompsons on a Yahoo store site. He said he took the quote to 4Wheel Parts and they matched the price.
