Leveled Our First 09 Today! 22s and 34s! PICS!

Leveled our first 09 today for a local dealer. 2009 F150 Lariat loaded up with everything. Ready Lift Level Kit. 22x9.5 Ultra Mako wheels with 285/55/22 Nitto Terra Grapplers with absolutely no trimming what so ever. That tire is 34.37" tall. They look small, should have tried a 35. Next time I will. What do you guys think, I am not fond of the color, but this is the first truck they got, and could not wait to do one.

Nope, I don't think I like it. Needs more tire. How was the install? Are they similar to the 04-08's?

22s are gross. But the leveled 09 F150 looks great.

It was actually harder to install, but easier to align. The front end seems to be alot different. I agree it needs more tire, and with space now to pin the fender back, the next one will get a bigger tire. No one had any specs on this truck so we were kind of guessing and trying stuff. We started with 33s, then went with this tire, and ran out of time before the truck had to go back.

I dont pick them out, I just sell them. Not my first choice on wheel and tire setup, but I did what I was told. You know?? We are lifting the next one. I got a kit in today, so next week I should have lifted pics. This one will get bigger than 35s, we will see.

Looks good, even if I dont like the new front facia and top of the tailgate on the 09's. Pics like these that might make it grow on me.

Looks good, but is it me or is it not sitting as level as the 04-08's. Nose still looks pretty low.

I agree, it doesn't really look 100% level? Is it, or is it just the pics?

I don't like the wheels either, but I realize that wasn't your call.....I give it a partial thumbs up

Not my cup of tea in the slightest. Think that jacked up trucks looks so stupid, but hey some people like them and some dont. Think it looked better standard.

The truck looks good, but I think such low profile tires look silly on a 4x4. Guess I'm still old school...
