I recently purchased a 06 Screw fx4 on the stock 18" fx4 wheels. I have just purchased (Yesterday) a 2.5" Rough Country lift for the front to level it out. I am wondering if anyone has a 2.5" on the front without putting the 1" block in the back. If not should I? any helpful hints would be great. Also on the tire question comes into play. I am thinking 33's/34" tires max, what would you recommend to me for an everyday driver as well well as a hunter, in a little mud/pulling a boat now and then.
Thanks

 

It's strictly up to personal opinion about lifting the rear.
If you use the OEM wheels, you can fit a 35x12.50 (305/70-18) but they will rub the frame slightly at full steering lock. Personally, I'd stick with a 33 or 34 inch tall tire.
As for the tire itself, do you think you will be in the mud enough to warant a mud tire? If so, I'd suggest the Toyo MT, Nitto Trail Grappler, BFG MT KM, Pro Comp Xtreme MT, **** Cepek Mud Country or Mickey Thompson MTZ.

 

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to go with the toyo a/t. 33 or 34 max. In what your saying is the front isn't going to be higher than the back? What would a 285 75 r18 look like? That's the size I was thinking if they even make it.

 

That would look fine.
Most 4x4's sit level with a 2.5 inch kit, but if your springs are sagged out a little it could sit nose low. If your springs are in great condition, it could sit nose high. Every truck is gonna be a little different.

 

The lift is on and it looks awesome, just how I wanted it to be. I have posted a before and after of the truck with stock tires for any of you interested.

 

There are some members with 295/70/18 on stock wheels that look great with a leveled truck. Perfect size in my opinion.
