There are a couple more in my gallery.
I'll wash my truck and get better pictures tomorrow.


Dude, those rims are off da hook!

Very nice!!!

A couple of questions for you:

What did those set you back?

What made you decide on the 40 series tires instead of the 45?

Thanks!

the best part about these trucks is the fact that ford made the wheel wells perfectly rounded, unlike the silverado which is like an oval and makes big rims look ugly. a circular wheel well brings the rims out and makes them look... CLANG!

I'm going to lower it so I really don't neeed a 33" tire, not to mention the stock tire is 30" so I'm already 1.6" taller than stock. If I were just going to drop the rear 2" I might have gone with the 45 to fill up the wheel well a little more, but I have seen pics of the mcgaughys kit with the 305/40/22 tire and it looks really good.
As for price it hurt, but I feel I got a very good deal, I spent a lot of time looking for the best place to buy, Tires Delivered was the best place to buy, I gave them a call (just to make sure the order didn't get screwed up) and ended up saving almost $80 over the internet price, total price for wheels, tires, mount & balance, lug nuts (w/ locks), and shipping came to $2147, about $500 less than the next cheapest place. I also have 8 extra lug nuts and 4 extra chrome valve stems and caps that came with the kit. Ordered on 4/10 got them on 4/17.
