They look good. Although I think I would put at least a body lift on it, looks just a tad stuffed.

But ultimately its whether you like it that matters

i think it looks awsome man; a little lift would of course always be better for any truck! But for that price and those tires, thats an awsome deal and i'd def. put them right on my truck if i could!!

looks great!

Hehehe, yeah people always complain about mine and it only has 265s on it (took the running boards off of it).

It looks good, I think it would look a little better with a lift, but sometimes you have to let things be Plus you got a great price on them, and thats hard to beat no matter what.

Nice Tires

That's what I want to put on my screw...i'm wondering how different the tires and fit will be from your 01 to my 04.

mshane, looks good. what's the performance like now with those big shoes on it? i noticed you have the same rear end ratio and rims as i do. is your chip able to compensate for the bigger tire size?

It still runs pretty hard from a dead stop, where I notice it most is going down the road at 65-70 and stand on it a little, it's not quite as quick as it was but still not all that bad. I used the 1715 to adjust for the 3.73 gears and the 35s and it shifts right where it should on hard accelerations. I am finding that I'm getting a little rub in the rear fenderwell when I back into my driveway, so I guess I'm going to have to do a little bit of sheetmetal work back there, but overall I would do it again in a heartbeat, especially for the price I got the tires for....

I think it looks great!

That's the setup I wanted, and I too didn't want a lift so I could still fit into parking garages, my garage, etc.

I wimped out and went with the 285/70/17 BFG A/T's...I think the look is great, esp. how it fills out the wells!

Lifts aren't for everyone!

The '04 4x4s can fit 35's with just a leveling kit.

That's one hell of a price!!! I just paid $850 for mine. I have a 16 inch rim but it's not much more rubber.

I have a problem with mine rubbing on the front leaf springs on a tight turn. I never would have thought those would fit on a F-150.

It looks real nice!
