I've been lurking and decided to register. I have a 2003 Ford F150 XLT Regular Cab 4x4. Not the Offroad edition because it only says 4x4 on the bed. I'm running 17 inch wheels with Toyo All Terrains but a friend has some 35 inch 12.50's he wants to part with. I'm hoping they will fit with no lift.

I am a previous Jeeper, but the practicality of owning a Jeep disappeared so I picked up the F150. I really like it. Its not going to get me where the Jeep used to but I can do more things like haul a trailer, maybe even put a camper on the back, etc.

I'm in the Bootheel of Missouri so I have to travel to get to any outdoors areas that don't look like a cotton field, so the mileage is much appreciated too.

I plan to do modifications to the truck, can't seem to leave anything stock! What I would like first is a roof rack on the cab with lights mounted to it. That would look great I think, but I haven't seen anyone do it yet so I am a little reluctant for now.

This is a great board and is a great resource for F150 owners, I'll be around awhile!

Welcome to the site!! As Sogwap said you won't be able to fit 35's unless you put a leveling kit on it.

There is plenty of information on here for your truck. Feel free to ask any questions and we'll help you out!!

Welcome to Jay T who introed himself the nice way and the other guy, TritonF150 who hacked in on someone elses thread. Both are welcomed and am sure you both should find the answers looking for and perhaps give up good intel for the reast of us un-scholored jerks.
