If the truck in the picture is the same one he's looking at, then yes, it's a 5.5. If it was a the 6.5' bed, the portion near the back of the cab would be about the same length as it is from the back of the wheel well to the rear bumper.

Indeed, that's why I said 24s too, lol! Plus it will look a lot better. Black rims on white trucks look good. And contrary to what fx4 says you won't lose 4x4 capability with large rims. if you are a rock crawler you won't want them, but then you would have a Jeep anyway. I use my stock 20s in winter with Cooper discover m/s and I go through way more snow than any jacked up rig with huge tires on it, lol!

I feel bad for the dealer's wife if he is calling that 6.5...

SultanGris

Haha!

And he can go through way more of any other terrain than you with a lift and m/t, so what's your point?

SultanGris

I can still go through any terrain and mud puddle I find and I see lots more snow than mud, mines much more practical is my point. Plus mine looks better. The only way a lift and huge tires are actually needed is if you go to mud bogs or extreme off road trails which are few and far between and not many do. If you want to make a huge tire mud rig an f150 super crew is not your best choice anyway.

Nowhere did anyone say to make a bogger. He wants a reasonable lift and tires that he (and many other people) think looks better than gaudy chrome 24 or a kenworth replacement bumper. "looks better" is different to everyone quit Tryin to put everyone down who has a different opinion. I live in Houston so mud and off road is much more common than the once every ten year snow so your tires are less practical here. Just like you can go through a "puddle" i'm sure an m/t will go through a snow flurry just fine and your all season tires would be useless in the east Texas logging roads we travel to hunt, to each their own but don't be a douche about it

I'll disagree just for the sake of interest. No way would I take any rim that large into anything that resembled offroading unless the definition of "offroad" was the little trail to the beach or a speed bump at Walmart. A 24 inch rim with those bandaid tires is pretty tough to air down to an acceptable pressure when your offroad- and yes, I am in plenty of those situations. Unless those huge rims have a 40" tire around them, then they aren't suitable for that application.

To each their own though, I plan on getting smaller rims yet so I can throw on a good beefy offroad tire with more sidewall than I already have

Around here in ND we have tons of dirt roads, two track, prairie trails or whatever you want to call them. They get muddy, but you don't need a lift or monster tires to go down them. I lived in Michigan for a while and drove power lines and two tracks in a stock ford ranger with no problems either back then. That also went through more snow than jacked up rigs, lol! Never been to TX but i'm sure my 20s would handle the roads with ease as well. I see your point about the snow there though, haha!

MR.FX4

The lift is for looks plain and simple. After getting stuck on the side of the road and needing 4x4 on wet grass the pirellis had to go. Maybe a m/t is overkill for most on 99% of trucks but some people like having something capable even if its not always the most practical
