So, the tires I found were nitto terra grapplers and hey come 285/55/22. Which takes my overall diameter from 31.74" to 33.34". So, I am thinking with that leveling kit, it will give me the look I am going for with my limited. A little more truck, and a little less car look.

I went with the fox 2.0 coilover stage 1 kit easy install and the price wasn't bad either. I just installed these bad boys today can't wait till night falls. Sorry for the spots on the camera broke the lense

I have done a bunch of stuff to my truck, but I think my favorite addition has been the Amp power steps. They are must haves for me now.

I went up from a 31 to a 33 as well but on a 17 in rim. Used a 2 inch spacer kit from F150lifts.com. No issues with rubbing or anything like that. Rides like it used to just a level and a little higher with the bigger tires. I did lose 1 MPG from the level and another MPG from the bigger tires. Like others have said though you can get that back with a tuner and light foot on the gas.

Oh, so you're the one?

Check back after you've used it for a bit. (And it gets all wonky!)

Seriously, I don't have a major issue with it but it doesn't stay on the USB media all the time (keeps switching back to line-in at no apparent pattern or time). And I've had it lose bluetooth sync with my cell a couple of times for no apparent reason. I like sync, but far from love it.

Welcome to the forum!

My two cents. Just when you think you've completed all the mods you want to do, just cruise this forum. you'll find 5 more things to do. Happens to me all the time, which isn't a bad thing

What else have you done to your truck?
I would like some kind of small storage bin for the bed that might be removable. To keep jumper cables, cleaning towels, a small tool kit, etc. anything slick out there? I do have a rollaway bed cover so it would need to be below that.

I have an undercover swing case, hooks up to the bed pretty easy to use and gets out of the way when not in use. Can fit all my cables and a few extra tools in their no problem. I am happy with it. http://www.undercoverinfo.com/products/swingcase

I put a 2x6 across the back in the slots in the bed then I got a tote and put my trailer hitches jumper cables and whatever else in there. its a small tote and if I needed the space I would then just put it in the cab. and the board allows me to put stuff back there without having stuff slide around the entire bed. tote was cheap less then $30 at canadian tire and the board I had laying around. the swing cases im not sure what they are worth
