It doesn't seem to be street legal (at least in the U.S.) as the bumper is probably set to high.

Looks sweet though.

it kinda looks stupid cause the tires are still little, u would think with that much of a lift, u could get alot more rubber, i think if u put 305/35/24 tires on it, that it woulnt look much different, and those tires fit with stock suspension, or even a lowered one.. It's a badass truck, but i would have with with 22"s and the 40" Toyo MT's......

Looks silly to me.... To much space between the tires and body.

Those tires are much bigger than my 305/35/24s (which happen to be 32.7in tall):



But they are still way too little for that much lift. I am glad to see they are making 4wd 24in tires though. I might get a 4wd next time!

BTW as for cost...my tires and wheels cost $5K, I bet these are pushing $7K since the tires are so knew and are probably in very low demand right now.

That thing looks totally stupid!!! Why is it even lifted when there is not enough rubber on those tires to go offroad with. I prefer a smaller rim and A LOT of rubber wrapped around it.

I always go by the formula : tire size(plus or minus 1 inch) = 2 * rim size ........... aka for 17's you need 33-35" or 18's you need 35-37"

So in order for that monster to look in proportion your gonna need some 48" tires......

This is actually a lift from Full Throttle Suspension. It is either 10" or 12" lift--those are the two they are offering. The lift kit runs about 5 or 6 grand + installation. I looked into these for my truck, but I think it is a bit too high. The Fabtech 6" lift with some Toyo M/T 35 or 37 x12.5 20's will be good for me. As far as being street legal--don't know the exact requirements, but I think all of the Florida guys here can testify to all of the F250 and 350's running around with huge lifts and 40's underneath--at least around central Florida anyway..

hmmm..I do like lifted trucks, but thats a little bit to much for my taste. I'm not a big fan of that big of a lift and the rims IMO are way to big, it needs bigger tires, not rims. But, I do give that Truck credit though, looks a lot better then that Ugly chevy thing next to it!

Simple....its lifted for looks. Its a show truck that will never be offroaded. It would be totaly insane to take a $7K dollar set of tires offroad to banged up and scratched. Some people build trucks for racing, some people build trucks to go offroad with and some people build a truck to show off. Would this truck have gotten this much attention with a set of 18in wheels on it??? NO...so the wheels are doing their job perfectly, the are getting the truck noticed and talked about!
