New tires are in, being put on as I post this.
35x12.50r18 cooper stt mts. Putting on a set of fx 18 wheels i got off ebay. I'll have some before and after pics later today. So excited!
I got a white f150 5.4 4x4 leveled ( rear is 1/2" lower than front) i put a slight smaller block in the back, now "unleveled".. I like that look.

Before - 265/70r18 Hankook ATs on stock chrome rims
(New tires in back )




After - 35x12.50r18 Cooper Discoverer STT / fx rims
They are phone pics, so not that great. EDIT: center caps arent on cuz i need to get the right lugs.. didnt know they were supposed to be open end.. ill get some soon




I will try to get more pics next weekend. Im looking into getting some flares this week off ebay. The oem black style ones. Make it look taller adding the black over the wheels and just cooler. I did notice a little power loss, but im gonna get a tuner soon.

They ride pretty dang smooth, pretty quiet, look nice in person, HAVENT used them in the mud yet
Got them for a good price and quick. Ordered friday, everything went through monday, got them wednesday.

Im looking at lifting a "little" more. maybe a 2'' BL or something... anyone got some advice on it? Don't wanna go to high but i want some gap between tire and truck.

Anyway, hopefully i can hit the mud soon!

Nice setup. I had these in 37" on my old truck. No complaints especially for the price difference over toyo/nitto

Thanks. I think your the guy that posted the pic of the brown truck on my other post about getting them. I saw them on your truck and had to get them cuz of the price too. they look pretty bad**s in person. I posted questions about lifting, but im just gonna go with a 2'' body lift. i use it as a daily driver work and personal truck, so I dont wanna go to high since I get in and out often. Hopefully it comes out good and not probs with that.

2" bodylift would be the most i'd go. The GMC was mine yes, reason i sold it is the same reason why you are not going too high.

yea man, I'm looking for that little extra lift for looks through personal opinion because I like the gap between tire and fender but keeping it at the right height to kinda keep it with the size of the tire. I like lifted trucks, but this I gotta keep it not as high and big I'd like to have it haha
