ok i bought my '04 stx (shadow grey) about 2 weeks ago its a 4x2 reg cab here are the things i need help with. I'm planning on going with the eagle alloy rims 17' whats the difference between the 186's and te 187's? then i am looking to get 33's I work for my uncles landscaping company if that matters so i do some towing. I want a wider tire so it will stick out of the wheel wells just a little like an inch or 2 so any recommendations would be awesome that will fit on the 186's or 187's. and last i need to get the leveling kit for the front suspension what brand should i go with. thanks in advance

 

hey dude feel free to chime in on any of my threads im going through the same dilemma

 

Your in luck - just so happens I have a shadow grey truck, its a 4x2, I have the 186's on there, and bigger tires.

Pics in my gallery.

If you dont plan on a suspension lift (6"), dont go over 33" on the tires. I have 315/70/17's (34.4") and I am rubbin'. My truck goes in this Friday for my 6" lift. Right now I am using Protechs's 2.75" leveling kit. I was fine on the rubbing til I bought the rims.

Good luck!

 

shawk,
What gears do you have and what size tires are you running now?

What floormats are those? Could you post some more pics? Do they protect the floor pretty good? Info?

 

Those are Husky Floor Liners, color black. They are "Catch-alls".

they fit perfect, especially in the back seat. And I wouldnt want anything else.

I will be posting better pics of everything this weekend. 6" suspension lift going in....

 

i just bought the truck and its all stock the stock 17 inch rims and the michelins that came on it could someone give me a list of some tires that will fit on the 17'inch 186's

 

i was looking at getting this leveling kit http://www.truxxx.com/ford_products/..._level_kit.htm

 

im mainly just trying to hear from you guys who have alot of expierience im not sure which gears i have im just looking at this leveling kit http://www.truxxx.com/ford_products/..._level_kit.htm i hope someone could tell me if this is too much, im also looking at the eagle alloy 17inch 186's and a 33' tire that will fit on that rim and stick out of the wheel well abou 2 inches just because i like the look not so far out that it looks like a lowrider should have em but i think you guys understand what im talking about if i could just get a recommendation on some tires that are good all around that would be great and the quicker the better because im getting everything for christmas so i need to know what i need/want

 

supposedly the backspacing on that 17" wheel is not good.

 

I just got my set of 187's today. They are sweet. I got a great deal too!!! $380 shipped to my door. And these are 18's The difference between 186 and 187's is the 187's have fake bead locks for looks

 

'04 where did you get those?

 

the cheapest i could find them was like 535$ i live near you so shipping shouldnt change unless you bought them used or something

 

Ebay is the place to find them for $380 theres currently a set out there!

 

I got them on ebay. they are new in the box. They were supposed to be blemmished but all i foung on them was a TINy scatch on one wheel. Not noticable at all.
