Went ahead and ordered the 2.5 inch AS kit tonight. I will be out of town all week so hopefully it will be here by the time I get back. Ready to get it on and see if I need the AAL or not.

I have also come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a cheap tire for 18 inch rims. Why spend $900-1000 on 285s when 35x12.50 KM2s could be had for $1200-1300.

Truck needed to be leveled anyway

 

let us see some pics when its done. and good thinking on going with the 35's

 

I ordered the same kit the other day. I am also out of town and expect it waiting for me when I return home. Are you going to install it yourself? If so, pics would be greatly appreciated.

If you think tires for 18" rims are expensive, you should look at em for 20"'s. Let go of my freaking hands!

 

Gt, that's great. Can't wait to see some pic of it with the leveling kit, get a pic next to the 92 f150.

 

post pics asap haha but good choice

 

I do plan on installing myself. From what I have read around here it shouldn't be too hard.

And I will be sure to take plenty of pics. And the two trucks together should be sweet. Both leveled, wearing BFG mud terrains.

 

Here's my truck with AS 2.5" and 35" KM2's on 18" FX4 wheels

 

Yup and your truck has been one of the inspirations for this the whole time.

 

Sweet! Make sure to post tons of pics when you get it finished!!! You will notice the KM2's are a little "bumpy" under 5mph but you get used to it. They are SOOOOO quiet on the highway you won't even notice them Plus the KM2's are amazing off road An air impact will be your best friend when doing the leveling kit IMO

 

Thanks for the input. I plan on doing it at a buddy's shop who has air tools.

How much did your fuel mileage go down with the 35s? Truck is otherwise stock.

 

good choice buddy

 

I never really calculated my fuel mileage Sometimes I have a lead foot and driving in northern VA doesn't help

 

You'll be very happy with it...
I've had mine for a few months now!! Not one complaint!!!

Well other then the fact that I already want to go BiGGeR...
