Default 6" Install Underway

Dropping my girl off to finally have her lifted the right way. The coil spacers just aren't cutting it anymore so onto a 6" paired with 20x10 wrapped in 35's. I'll be picking her up tomorrow so more pics to follow.

6" pro comp

Wheels are Havokh103 - the reasonably priced not so mainstream brands but still look nice

Tires are Gladiators...I believe made by Federal

Nice! You will love it lifted, one of the best truck related purchases I have made. I've seen the Gladiators before but have never seen anyone run them. Tell us how you like them.
Congrats!

I looked for reviews on the tires but didn't see too much. Their mud terrain so I'm sure they'll be somewhat noisy, but I'll look for a tire thread to post any positives or negatives in.

Goosh,

Beautiful truck. What is your wheel/tire combination (size)? Do they stick out of the fenders much?

Also, what engine and gearing?

I have a Black 2014 FX4 5.0L with 3.55s and OEM 18" wheels and this is the look I'm going for.

I was quoted $2,400 for the 6" BDS (installed) which is doable now but the wheels and tires are more that I can afford at this time.

Apologies if the info is in your signature... I'm on a mobile device.

Goosh, just saw your other post so the only info I need is your engine and gearing.

I noticed in the other post you mentioned possibly getting a tuner.

What's the reason for that? I assume the engine & gearing may have to do with that.

Also, you mentioned a 2-piece wheel. Can you elaborate on that? It looks great.

Again, BEAUTIFUL TRUCK!
