If you are going to spend the money on the lift....get the right tires
Agreed. The proportions look best this way. Remember its not always about whats bigger or taller. A good looking truck is also usually in proportion.

If you want to save money, just level it with 33's. Done right and you can still have a pretty big looking truck. Also (I don't know if its a consideration for you) my truck leveled with 33's sits just under 7ft at the roof, so I still fit in my garage and car-wash

My truck is technically only a couple inches taller than a stock truck with tires only about an inch taller, but I get comments on it all the time. It really does look much bigger than stock in person. Its all about putting together the right package.

6"/35's is a pretty awesome look too.

You will look like a tool with 33s. My neighborhas 33s with a 6" and hates it . They are too small. 35s or dont lift it at all. Those are Monster XDs in chrome.

Me neither....doesn't seem that popluar around here

My speedo is off about 6 MPH at 70 MPH with a level and 33's....you can use a programmer to read your MPH or just know the offset in your head and adjust accordingly. Only other option is to reflash the PCM from Ford or take the cover off your dash bezel and adjust the needles by hand.
