I just got my 06 F-150 and I am wanting to do a leveling kit.. what are the biggest size tires I can put on using my stock wheels which are 18's.. also what kind of leveling kit should I go with..

Thanks

 

As a general rule on the new 4x4's with a leveling kit you can fit 35x12.50's using the OEM wheels or 33's with aftermarket wheels. I'd suggest the Autospring leveling kit.

 

Just bought new 18 inch Moto Metals with 325/60/18 Toyo Open Country A/T's with a 2.5" Autospring. It looks awesome. Better than i thought. I had to shave a little off the inside of the fender flare but thats it. Took about 2 minutes. I have had the autospring about a month and i love it so far. Pics coming soon.

 

Thanks.. I am sure that later on down the road that I will be asking some more questions cause I am kinda of new with lifted the fords anyways. I used to have a jeep and a dodge but traded it in for the ford i got now.. Thanks again.. One more question where can I get the autospring leveling kit.. I am thinking about running the Nitto mud graplers anyone run them at all..

 

Go to www.autospringcorp.com for the kit. You'll love it! I went with a AS 2.5" I am now saving up $$$ for some 33's!

 

How much does it cost

 

$100 with shipping.

 

Also, I'd consider another tire. The Mud Grappler look cool, but they are very loud (even by mud tire standards) and wear fast.

 

I agree with Wandell. Had a buddy who had the mud grapplers and after a week or so, he sold them because they were so loud. I also had some similar to the mud grapplers a couple years ago and the tread went very quickly. Just a thought.

 

what kind should I go with.. I want to get a mud terrain tire.. I will prolly be doing alot of off-roading in them. For one my buddies do it about every weekend and 2.) turkey season is coming up.. I would like to get a good cheap mud tire if that is possible... Where is a good place to get tires. I saw this place online called discount tire direct.. The tires are seemed to be really cheap and I was wandering if anybody has bought tires from them before... I don't want to get any tires that are going to be used or they are just in ****ty condition..

 

Nitto Mud Grapplers are loud but they do perform pretty well offroad and arn't nearly as expensive as the Toyo Open Country M/Ts! I had them on my 2004 F-150 and now I've got them on my 2006 F-150. I've got about 8,000 miles on the tires right now with barely any tread wear, of course I rotate a lot though.

Just like the Daystar.

 

if you plan on going offroading every weekend like you said, then the mud grapplers are probably a good route to go. when i had mine like them, i never went offroading. i was always on the street. i just thought they looked good. mine were durango's and they were pretty cheap.

 

I'd suggest Toyo MT's or BFG MT KM's.
