Any help would be nice

My Truck is a 2004 Black Ford F-150 Supercab 5.5' bed with Rear Dual Exhaust, Aftermarket Rims, Gas Cover. I have a few questions that would be great if answered, First what Rims are these any suggestions would be great, Second how would a Autosping 2' Leveling kit do on this? Third Tires with most aggressive thread pattern in your opinion, Forth whats the best tire size for a 2' leveling kit without rubbing, Thanks. The pictures I took at the dealership after i just brought it

Those look like Predator rims(not sure). A 2'' level works and looks great on these trucks. I have a 2.5'' kit and clear 33''tires no problem. You should also be able to clear 33's with a 2'' kit. Dont go more than 2.5'' on a level though, i read it puts alot of stress on the trucks front end. As far as tires go i think Super Swamper makes the most aggressive tire, but they are not that practical for road use. I had a set before the tires i have now, they looked nice but made alot of noise. It comes down to personal preference.

for an aggressive MT i'd go with the nitto trail grappler. while the mud grappler has a more aggressive look, they are too loud and won't last as long. BFG KM2's are nice as well but expensive.

cant tell you a tire size unless you give us wheel specs, and since you don't know what they are that causes a dilemna. look for a manufacturer logo on the wheels and you should be able to find out the specs on them. general rule of thumb for max tire sizes though are a 35" tire on stock wheels w/ a 2" level for a 4x4 and for a 2x4 on stock wheels a 33"

these predator rims? only ones i could find on a google search. definitely not the same.


we need to know the backspacing or offset to tell you the largest you can fit, but a 285/70/17 will fit. not that big of a tire. 32.7 tall and 11.2 wide.
