the rotor issue is dependent on how you drive. yes the added wheel weight (my 24's= 90lbs, stock 18's= 65lbs) will wear everything out at a faster rate but it isnt like you put them on and BAM the warp. i will upgrade rotors/pads all day just to look at them sweet 22+ inch wheels....

OP--- that is still a great looking truck...

 

Yeah it will still effect them but from what I hear they warp easy anyway, bigger rims just help the process quicker. i had my 24's on for about a year, pretty much all city driving, and started noticing it just before I sold them

 

I have not had any issues with my brakes but I really take it easy and try not to jam on the brakes if at all possible. As far as the ride I think tire pressure has a lot to do with this too, 40 lbs and above is what most of these big tires take and that is a lot of air pressure to bounce on.... but if you run less pressure they wear faster and mileage suffers, IMHO.

 

i havent had any issues i had 24s on my truck for 2 years and have had 26s on it since last summer and no issues what so ever......ever

nice truck btw looks real good

 

Looking good! Things are huge!

 

Looks good, but yeah loose the steps, tint the front and get chrome exhaust tip. Would set it off even more.

 

Just wanted to adress some of the comments. I have the steps since my wife and kids need to climb in.My 3 year old daughter loves to go for rides with daddy. The bed cover is an undercover I have had the same cover for 2 f150's now holds up great a little noisy on the highway though.It matches the mirrors perfectly. Ad for the ride On decent roads it rides great It feels better then the last 24's and those were 285/40/24.I have had 22's 24's and now these I think the 26's fit the best.That is purely my opinion. As for the brakes they are upgraded mildly. The same setup I had with the 22's and 24's and I have had 0 problems . Of course the stock pads and rotors had to go. Next I am puting 2 10'' re se subs under the rear seat which courtesy of lmi is 2'' higher.The will fire forward and be ported forward. It pays to be a carpenter some times.Then I think Ill put some katzkins and be done with her.Thanks for all the replies.

 

well we cant forget about the kids.. little girls need steps!!! what is "mildly"

 

I have ebc green stuff pads .And I am running the same dual piston calipers as on the front. As for the stock rotors I swapped them out for some raybesto napa rotors. Stops great Very little dust once the ebcs brake in. I found out the quickest way to warp rotors is to wash the vehicle /wheels when hot.I used to think it was ok to cool down the wheels with cold water before washing.Basically guarantying warped rotors. The shop that modded the front calipers on the rear only had the truck a day . All this talk about brakes .I have to say these trucks can haul pull seriouse weight to me pulling a camper or hauling 1000 pounds of lumber is worse than 350 pound wheels just my opinion.

 

looks real good Bro, but now you need to invest in some Amp power steps so you get the best of both worlds!! your wife and kids can get in safely.. then the step disappear when they close the door!! but they are crazy expensive..

 

they are bad ***

 

Looks good man. What rims are those? Also have you done anything with the suspension?

 

man those things are massive

 

Is this where we are headed, check his ride he's ridin on 48's

 

thats funny,, truck looks good.. lets see some closer pics!
