05' F150, Rancho, & 35's

Well, have been reall busy and wanted people to see my baby after she was completed. They are 325/60R/20's Pirelli ATR's on American Racing Forged Legend 9100 series rims. I simply can not tell you how good the finish is on these wheels, as they should be considering the cost. Also, you simply wouldn't believe the wieght difference in these and other rims.

These pictures are horrible will get her cleaned up and reposted this weekend.

Thats looking really clean but I have a few suggestions, please don't take this as an insult but just constructive criticism. I'd get some PTM LT handles and the 07 Sport Trac 4X4 emblem. I can't tell but do you have a different exhaust? I really feeling the overall look!

Thank you all for your comments.

Thump. I don't like any emblems or anything on my rig. Was it not for the freakin holes behind these emblems they would be gone too. As for the handles, after more than a few k in mods they will have to wait for next year!

Oh, and yes its a custom exhaust see signiture.

Looking at those rims makes me dizzy.
Are the spokes or openings slightly curved, or do I need glasses?

Those are the Rancho 9000 reservoir shocks. They are buttery smooth!

Your truck looks real good man, you did it all right minus the tires... little too street-queenish for my 4x4 tastes. But hey, nice job on the lift, exactly what I'd like.

Texx, I couldn't agree more. I would of loved to put the Open COuntry M/T's on but I drive around 35-40k a year. So having a tire that may not last one year kind of scared me away from them. There had to be a compromise and these were the best I found.

I will say because of the forged rims being feather light and the ried not being aggressive. I have not lost 1 MPG. IT IS FREAKIN UNBELIEVABLE. Yes, the speedo has been calibrated and all that jazz. In fact on the highway I am getting better gas mileage (which makes mathmatical sense, seen how the new 35" tires are bigger than stock, there fore decreasing my final drive gear ratio). Just a hair of performance lost but truly you would have to really pay attention for it.

I hope to have her sparkling this weekend. Just for RP
