Just a few questions...

I intend to get either bigger all-terrain offroad tires or even super swampers so that I can get the hum on the road

My question is this though in relation to the tires...
Does it matter what rim size I order (i.e. the 18" Machined Aluminum over the smaller 17") or should i stay with smaller rims because I'm getting bigger tires?

I want something that looks good, but I also want to make sure the tires look bigger as well and I was wondering that if the bigger the rim, the smaller the tire looked.

My truck will get a 4" or 5" lift...
and, because of that, I also wanted to know who you'd recommend as far as lift kits and if I'd need to upgrade any shocks, coils, etc. or even get 14" inch brakes...(?)

Other questions:
What the hell exactly are the "power adjustable pedals?"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have 17" rims, don't you have to have 17" tires? Same for 18" rims need 18" tires? (shrug)

Power adjustable pedals move the brake and accelerator pedals either towards the front or the back of the truck. This is to get closer or farther away from the driver's foot.

buy the cheapest tires and wheel you can from ford. you'll end up buying aftermarket wheels and tires, so don't waste your $$$.

I agree with BrewMaster, save your coin, you will put aftermarket stuff on there anyway. BTW, power adjustable pedals, I think were added so that women and short men could adjust the pedals without having to hug the steering wheel, you know, that airbag thingy...
