I have a 2005 F150 4x4 5.4L King Ranch. The rim size is 18x7.5. The Tire I am looking at is 305/65R18 BFG AT.

My question to everyone is what size leveling kit should I get to run these tires?

Does anyone have any pictures of there truck with these tires on them?

Also what is the Biggest Size tire I can go with my 18x7 rim and 3" leveling kit in front? Any suggestions on specific tires?

Any info is greatly appriciated I have to buy something soon I can barely keep traction when I leave a stop light!!!

 

Go with a 2 or 2.5 inch kit. 3 inches is too much lift and will cause premature ball joint wear.

 

That is what I was wondering. I would like to get a 35x12.50 tire in the well. Can I do this with a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit?

 

Yes, if you use the oem wheels or one almost identical. You can use an aftermarket 8 inch wide wheel with 5.5 inches of backspacing, but the choices are limited.

 

My leveling kit w/rims and tires I just had done.

what tire do you recommend? I was looking at BFG AT because I have heard good things about this tire. Is there any others I should check out before purchasing?

Also do you recommend a leveling kit?

 

I like my leveling kit. I was a little torn between the leveling kit and a full 6" suspension. I went with the leveling kit because I have small kids, parking in my garage is a must, and the courthouse has a parking structure I have to get into. Also my truck is a 2wd and is much more about looks then actual offroad functionality

The bilstien leveling kit rides real nice. I went with BFG's because I have had good luck with them in the past, though I have also had the procomps (didn't seem to last as long)

I actually stepped down in wheel size but up in tire size. I had the factory 20's on it and went with 18's and 285/65/18. I think that is a good size. They fill out the wheel well good and there are no rubbing issues. I guess you can stuff a bigger tire under there but might have to worry about rubbing.

 

First off your truck looks awesome!! What size leveling kit did you use?

 

The bilstien leveling kit. Just had it done last week.

 

Love those wheels. Would look good on my Blue on Beige 05 Lariat. Did you get a good price on them. I have the same tires as well.

Yeah a pretty good price, which escapes me now but, when I can find the paperwork I'll let you know

 

I half assed looked them up minutes ago. Some seem to be gettin $300 per for the 20". I couldn't find the 18". Being my BFGs are new, and I paid some change for them, I would match the wheel with the tire. Did you have a hard time gettin the Moto Metals in 18"

 

Mine are the 18's. I downsized from my factory 20's for a variety of reasons. one reason was long term cost of replacement tires.

 

Here is a link to them at 4 wheel parts. I got them for $150 a piece when I bought them.
