The scab is 6000lbs and screw 8000lbs I believe.

Nice truck. That custom tuned 6.2 must be a blast. If I ever step up to a '11+ F150 it will be a 6.2 Lariat scab.

I dont want to clutter up this thread with usless facts, so ill make it short,this will be my only response to this topic!
dont take this wrong! Im writing this as it looks like your being a smart ****! maybe you really dont know any better!
BFG KOs have a Hard compound, thin and hard sidewalls, poor 70s tread design, what else do you need to hear! Michelins are almost the same, Goodyears are a little better but wear fast and lose traction fast! as far as I am concerned BFG KOs are one of the most out dated and over rated tire out there!

Buy some real offroad tires before comparing junk! and you will find out! they are not in the same class!

I Have ran or sold almost everything out there and I wouldnt sell KOs to an enemy,As I Wouldnt want to tarnish my reputation!

Is the new General Grabber (red) considered a AT or mud tire? I also see they have the AT2, what is the difference between them.. Thanks in advance

It is a maximum traction tire, it falls in the same category as the mt/r Kevlar. But yes, more or less a mud tire because it has huge voids and high traction

I prefer black, but that's a nice looking truck. The only ones at the dealers around here are orange SCabs.

Good looking Screw! I think the White might be the only color I like with the graphics. Looks sharp. My Silver Screw has everything except the Roof and Graphics.

I plan on going with the Full Stainless Works dual exhaust and possibly the "stealth" tailpipes that are hidden under the bumper. I like the AFE intake but wish we had other options out there. Same goes for tuning.

I actually like the "stock" look of where SVT set the spring perch, but I agree the soft nose diving under hard braking isn't something to write home about.

Truck looks great though, love those wheels! I will probably keep the look of mine stock but add the filter/tune, exhaust and some Rigid LED lighting. The 40" front bar behind the grill looks killer.

I didn't opt for the hood graphics because I have plans for my own. I'm also planning on doing some kind of bumper like sdhq's or something.

I am torn between the stainless works and kooks. You do have more options for intakes. There is afe, airaid, volant, hennessey, and 5 star offers one. I may have missed some too. As far as tuning there is 5 star, jdm, and hennessey for top contenders. I am sure there are others.
