Sick trucks. As far as tires go- If you want a MT that's great offroad and OK on the street the BFG KM2's are nice, but expensive. I have them now(285/70/17) but am switching to AT's this weekend. They do fine below 50mph, but over 50 and they vibrate, not sure if I just got a bad tire, but it's annoying. I've had them re-balanced 4 times with ~20k miles on them, and they still vibrate. Great offroad, but if you're doing a lot of highway driving you may want to stay away from them.

im just gonna put an axle from an 84 pickup in it, run the rear leafsprings up front and 63" chevys in the the rear...maybe later on down the road when i pick up a few more ranks and make a little more money i will link it
silk-yeah i know alot of guys who run those on their rigs, but i dont know about running them just on the road...i basically want the mud tires on the ford for the look

as far as i know it is completely stock, other than the duals, which are flowmasters that came on, it has a really small block in the rear but i thought that that was factory. i don't know that much about new trucks. this is the first ford i have had, i have a 90 Toyota as well that i play around with on the trails and im in the process of building it.
thanks for the comments
