Two questions.

Well make it three.Ordered my 07 Supercrew KR 4x4 today with a 6.5ft bed. Ordered it with 5.4 and the 3.55 rear end for a little help with fuel miles. Went with the blue and gold two tone. Decided against the custom paint job (but thanks for the responses guys on the other post. Still may do it later. My paint guy said go ahead and order the blue.) Didn't go with the lariat cause I like the seats on the KR better (the fact that seats are all leather and not just the top of the front seats and the rest vinyl on the Lariat). Expect to be getting it in about 4 months. Also put money in the savings for the Rize 6 inch lift and some tires and rims.) Three questions: 1)big tires vrs smaller rim, or smaller tire vrs bigger rim. Which is better? All recommendations for combinations are welcome. Don't want a gigantic wide tire either something maybe 8 or 9 inches wide. 2)Does anyone make a dash kit that is a replacement and not a stick on? 3)Does anyone know anybody that makes a dual alternator kit for 06-07 f-150s. Have a lot of sound equipment, a big two way radio, a kicking cb, not to mention a ton of strobes, a lot of off road lights, and I don't want to tie all of this on a totally seperate electrical system.

Personally, I can not stand the skinny tires. They look silly to me. I would not go larger than 20s, and really prefer 18s

I want some real smooth rolling tires with plenty of grip. Don't want the truck to strain rolling the tires cause the lugs are real open and they wont roll worth a damn. main thing I want to know about is the dash and the dual alternators

Are you talking about a 8" or 9" wide tire? . . or wheel?

Since your going with a 6" lift, get a set of 18x9s on 35x12.50s.
