New 06
I just purchased a new 06 FX4 single cab.
I have a couple questions.
1. Rims/Tires.
I know I can go 33x12.50 with a 2" leveling kit. How big can I go without the leveling kit? I kinda like the rake(sp?). I just want something a little bigger than stock and to atleast be even if not stick out a little past the fenders. Right now I'm looking at the Moto Metal 951 blacks in 17x9, American Racing Mojave teflon 17x8, and American Racing Victor Teflon 17x8. I have the 18" stockers.
2. Mufflers.
I'm looking at Magnaflows, but I'm unsure which to get. What's the diffrence between the round bodies and the oval ones? I know on my Mach 1 I had you had the choice of regular magnaflows and Magnpacks(louder). And is there any advantage of SI/DO over SI/SO? I plan on just dumping it right past the muffler anyway.
3. Leveling kit.
If I do decide to go with the leveling kit to clear 33's, what are the cons of the leveling kit? If I throw my 4wheeler(or some other fairly heavy load) in the bed I really don't want my rear to set a lot lower than my front.
I don't plan to do any serious off roading. Just a little sound and a little looks. About the most off roading that will be done is an old dirt road or something to drop off my 4wheeler so I can ride it.
Thanks in advance for all the help guys!
EDIT: Now with pics.

welcome to the forum...
you can go 35 with a leveling kit on stock rims with very minor rubbing on your control arms
if you get the right aftermarket rim backspacing you can get 35's to fit with only minor rubbing with a leveling kit (in other words, an aftermarket rim that does NOT stick out past the fender)
you can go 33 with a leveling kit and many aftermarket rims (can stick out some)
you can go 33 on stock rims, no leveling kit..
i dunno about the magnaflows
