Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm hoping to finish all the paint tomorrow morning and then look into getting the tires. Most likely going with mud grapplers. Trying to get quotes on powdercoating my bumpers to so thats in the works. I'll keep everyone posted!

Sundevil, its not you the rear is about an inch and half difference from the front. I wish I would of got new coil springs for the front instead of spacers because I think the old springs have a bit of sag to them. Thats gonna be next.

Grille goes in for powdercoating tomorrow. Guy said he would sand blast and powdercoat for 30 bucks. I asked him about my bumpers and said he would sandblast them for 75 but can't match the color exactly by powdercoating, he can just get it close. So for now, I think I'm just gonna keep them chrome and maybe do it later. Hopefully ordering rubber within a week or so.

I won't be able to run 37s anymore The wheels I got are 6x135 lug and I've got wheel adapters, so I won't be able to tuck as big a tire anymore. It looks like 35s will be my only option. On the plus side though when I get a newer f150 they will bolt right up

What size tires are you running now? I am seriously considering a 4 inch lift, with the current 33s, but don't want the tires to look lost.

I'm running the stock tire size which is 265/70/17 which is like a 31 I think. Whatever size is in the door jam, thats what I'm running lol. If I was you, I would go with some 35s if your going to get a 4 inch.

Thanks everyone! Finishing up the paint tomorrow, got a few spots I need to finish on the bumpers and then their going back on. Didn't get the grille done today, just didn't have the time. On a plus not I ordered my tires today. 35x12.5R20 nitto mud grapplers Should be here on Friday and then getting them mounted up along with an alignment! Truck should be finished soon!

its come along way. I'd rock the stockers for a while, maybe drop the back end back down and run with a massive Cali lean for a while
