I am getting the 7.5 fabtech lift on my F150, i never thought about it and figured my beaching days would be over. After i sall the Fabtech lift will i be able to drive on the beach with my new truck? I am a little worried about the 4x2 thing since ive always used a 4x4

 

You should be fine if you use a wide tire and air down.

 

Get a good tire on that bad boy and youll be fine

 

any idea what kind of tires i should try? I know something with an agressive tread is great

 

I would say Procomp Xtreme A/T's would be a great choice.

 

mickey thompson atz'sare also a good tire! along with the BFG ko A/t. Nitto Terra Grapplers are a nice tire (if you stay on the road) Toyo AT

if you dont plan on doing much offroading besides the beach you would be set with any of the tires above!

I underlined the BFG's for a reason!!!

 

for the beach your going to want a good at like mentioned above, more aggressive treads like mud terrains will just dig in, look at the bfg baja tires professionals use, not too aggressive but definately no street tire

 

I would only look at the baja's if you are spending the majority of your time on the sand. If your talking about just trips to the beach a few times a month or so then a regular AT tire will do you just fine.

My suggestions:

-Bfg a/t ko
-Toyo ATZ
-Pro comp extreme AT
-Good Year Extreme AT

 

sry i worded it wrong i did mean he should look into buying them, just to look at the tread. i didnt know goodyear made a extreme at.

 

Ya i have them on my truck. They were made for the H2's. Good tire and good price. I will be getting Toyo m/t's next tho

 

nitto mud grapplers

 

Beach tire = Mickey Thompson

 

ALL-TERRAIN TIRES...seriously people - Growing up on the beaches of San Diego I have NEVER seen any of the lifeguard trucks with anything other than a all-terrain - I've been tearing up the sand at Glamis for almost 20years and again, the all-terrain tire AIRED DOWN to at least 12-15lbs per tire works wonders in the sand - I am coming off of several 2WD vehicles that worked well in the sand and I needed to go to a 4WD so I can tow into the sand. My last F150 was an '03 with 35" BFG MT and those were TERRIBLE sand tires. Other may have different views or opinions, but this has been my experience for over 15yrs on the sand... and to add to that, my last trip camping in San Felipe (Baja 250) there we were, chillin on the beach and we here the distant music of an ice cream truck. i start looking around and down the beach comes this late 70's 2WD Dodge Ram Van jacked up with like 33" street tires in the back with about 8psi in them selling ice cream on the beach --- it was too funny I HAD to buy some ice cream...


Speaking of that F150...ahhh i miss her -

 

At over $500 per tire - thats pretty aggressive on the wallet

 

lariatc-those are goodyear silent armor. not extreme at's and not for the h2's. h2's use 35" bfg at's and h3's use bridgestone dueler at's

7lug-haha yeah i figured those things would be expensive,their pretty much comp tires and you hit the nail on the head with your explination
