I needed new tires and two new wheels but I changed it from 33x12 tires and 20x9 wheels and went with 35x12.5r18 tires, 18x9 Method NVs and Fox shocks are on and the ride a little smoother with the 35s and 18" wheels but these tires weight a ton. The tires rubbed the RPG UCAs so the stock UCAs had to go back on to keep the tires from rubbing at full turn. Also I replaced the ebay drop shackle with a Synergy long travel shackle to make it stronger.

Truck is looking pretty good. I think the 18's look much better on the truck.

I agree I've never really been a fan of 20" wheels on Ford trucks especially. It changes the whole look of your truck for the better.

Street trucks look cool and I've thought about 22" KMC slides with 33x12.5 toyo mts but I knew I'd mess them up with hitting pot holes and then I'm stuck not being able to take it off road.
This is the truck that I liked but those little rubber bands don't leave much protection when I take a corner sharp and hit the curb.

A few updates and pictures from the last post. Not much happened until the motor started ticking the weekend before thanksgiving. I found out the #2 piston had a hole in it so they totaled the motor. I got the call today they're finally ordering the motor. It failed at 63,000+ miles so not even an oil change after the warranty. We're still working out the details of the warranty but in the mean time they're getting it ordered and done cause a month and a half is too long to wait. Now the pictures.
We took the boat out at the end of the summer.
