I recently bought a 2007 f150 king ranch with 195,000 miles on it. ( bought from my grandfather all highway miles). I am want to do a few maintenance items along with upgrading a few things to make the truck look and perform better. I know I will need a good set of shocks and struts soon, I'm also wanting to get maybe a 2 in. to a 2.5 in. leveling kit with a set of 33 all terrains. If y'all can give me some suggestions on parts and sizes of tires that will be greatly appreciated.

What are you looking to spend and what size rims?

Jkaminski

18 inch rims I don't have a price set yet but I don't wanna spend an astronomical amount.

So it sounds like this is the trire sizes you are looking for
33x12.5R18
325/60/18 (33.35 inches tall and 12.78 inches wide)
325/65/18


Grabber AT2 in that size is about $1200 for a set of 4

BFG AT T/A KO in that size are about $1400 for a set of 4

You can shop around and probably find a better price or a set of all terrains that are not as big of a name as the two i listed. The 2 tires I listed seem to be the most popular all terrains, but your going to pay for the name.

Thanks have you heard anything about nitto trail grapplers? And do you recommend any shocks or struts? Front and rear

I have never used them befor. I am kinda a BFG fan, so thats all I run.

Well for shocks I think the top 2 brands are probably Fox and King. I run king shocks my self. But again you will pay for the name with those two brands. You will need to price out the shocks and see what you feel is the right balance of performance vs what you want to pay.

Im sorry I cant be for specific im not a mechanic Im a computer nerd. I have shops tell me what I need and I just choose the brands and they do all the hard work.

33/10.50/18's are what you want. It's not the heigth of the tire that's the problem, it's the width. 12.50's will rub regardless unless you run offset wheels and then they will stick out past the truck and you'll need $1000 to get fender flares and have them painted or chew the side of your truck up.

33/10.50's will go on stock wheels without any rub, it's equal to like a 275 in width (don't quote me on that) while a 10.50 is a 325.

thank you for correcting me. I was just posting commin sizes for 33" AT tires. Rubbing or fitting on a stock rim was not what I based the sizes off of.
