Damon,

What tire do you suggest for me?

I have a 2008 XLT SCrew 4x2 with the 18" Chrome Clad wheels. I would like to get a bigger tire after I get my 2" AS installed.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah I figured the same thing about the dealership discount... I haven't called or ran down there yet due to time restraints, but I have a feeling they're just going to act like they have no clue about the offer or will just decline it all together. I called just about the only 4 wheeler shop in the area to see how they'd be on the tires since they deal with offroad tires any probably not much else, but even there they said about 234 a piece.

Damon, you said you have the 33x12.50/15 KM2's in stock? What about 35x12.50/15 in either the BFG KM's or the KM2's? I'd rather get the KM2's but if the price is right the KM's would be fine too.
On TireRack's website they list the 35x12.50/15 KM's and KM2's each for 183, but both look to be on backorder

Yeah man they work. Looks good, what type 4" lift you got? Mine is just stock height with stock 300 I-6 but I love it. I dont take it in the mud though cause it is just to nice to mess up. My plan is to drop a 351 fuel injected motor in it after I can afford then lift it on 35's or 38's just for looks.

Nice trucks ya got there, very clean lookin 84. Is that original paint?
Its a Rough Country 4 inch that was put on be the guy who owned it before me (I helped put it on). Was a lift block in the rear, but after snapping a couple leafs (no clue how) I just went with their 4inch lift springs and got rid of the blocks. I'd like to get the 6 inch coils for the front to even the rake out, but no budget for that right now haha.
The body on this one was actually pretty good when I got it, then last summer a kid I know drove too fast into a gravel parking spot in his jeep trying to show off, and of course slid right into my drivers side rear quarter. Banged most of it out though.
The paint isn't all too good, but still has a little bit of shine to her if I actually wash it real good. I've been thinking about just giving it a spray can olive drab or camo job... but I don't know if I will ever bring my self to actually do it. I've been told some rubbing compound and some elbow grease and it'll bring the life back to the red paint, but I haven't tried it yet.
I beat the hell out of that truck day in and day out, I can't help but try to get some fun out of my driving haha. And can't help but put that pedal on the floor when theres people around... just getting my moneys worth for the straight pipes.

Wrote a bit more then what type of lift it is haha, but I think the truck makes me do it.
What year is that other one anyway?

The black truck is a '65 f100 twin I-beam. As for the '84 I dont believe thats the original paint. Ive owned it for about 6 years so I dont really know the history except im the third owner. Truck aint got but 103,000 original miles though.
