    Looked at the front suspension last night and measured it. Turns out the truck already has a leveling kit because the front sits an inch higher than the rear. I didn't really even notice :shrug: id say its probably about a 2-2.5" level and I think I am going to get a set of those a/t 2s. They're pretty fairly priced compared to other tires I've looked at

    Those at 2s would look pretty good on there. A winch bumper would too.... :whistle:

    haha y'all are killing me... that may happen a little later down the road. Right now I'm, trying to decide what size at2 I want to get.. Should I get 275/65r20 (34.1" x 11") at 235$ a tire? 295/60r20 (33.9" x 11.8") at 297$ a tire? or all out and get 35/12.5r20 at 287$ a tire?

    boy do I like it a lot more without that stupid brush guard

    I don't really know how much room there is to play with on the newer f150s, as in tire width and when you would rub. So not knowing that and assuming there is plenty of room in there, I would throw out the 295's because there more expensive than the true 35s. Then its really just the size and best price for you. I would go with the true 35s if it were me.

    I'd do the 275/65's. Almost 35", and its 11" wide, a little less rolling resistance.

    With at's It might drop 1 or 2 maybe, but its not a prius. He could gain them back easily with all these nice gas tuners on the market these days.

    Decided to go with the 275/65/20 Toyo AT 2's and I'm pretty happy with it. I couldn't tell any difference driving it with the new tires and it looks so much better. It actually measures out the close to the same height as my last truck did. Pictures don't do it justice, It looks pretty good. I'll get some better pictures later
