hey guys, just wanted to show off my new wheels and tires a little bit. They aren't anything special, just a bit bigger than the stock wimpy ones. I was going to get some muds but I'm going to get a new 07 FX4 in about 8 months or so with some 35's on it, so I didn't want to just blow the money on this truck.







here's what it used to look like...



the old wheels started flaking and stuff so I bought new chrome ones off ebay, I believe they are off a XLT or an expedition or something. I think it was a solid investment.

 

Sweet!

 

looks much better now

 

yeah it made a world of difference. sits a little higher now too. I did crank the t-bars up a little bit to level it out. Feels more like a truck now, but it should've came from the factory like this! Thanks for the compliments

 

Looks good!

 

The truck looks much better with the new rubber and wheels. I'm getting my 285/75/16 BFG A/Ts soon myself. How many turns did you give your torsion bars? How did that affect the ride?

 

I don't know how much I cranked the t bars actually...becuase I cranked them up to pretty much maxed out, and then I had 2" blocks in the back. I wasn't really happy with the ride, although it wasn't that bad, but I decided to take the blocks out and lower it back down. When I lowered it, I just kind of eyeballed the levelness of the truck, so I coudln't tell you how many cranks I did on them. I guess you'll have to get out a tape measure. But the little bit I cranked them didn't affect the ride qaulity at all, and rides like a stock truck.

 

Very nice upgrade.
