Default Moving along nicely

Well, ive only started getting into fixing up my truck this month. I put on the K&N cold air intake yesterday. Today i ordered 1- 2.5" front level kit, and 1- 1.5" rear level kit.

Im hoping that with the combination of the front and rear level kit...that my truck keeps that slightly higher rear end look, i think it looks meaner.

Im buying tires on Monday. Ive been planning on 285-79-17 Nitto Grapplers. Does anyone think i should go with a bigger size tire? Or even a different tire? Does some1 maybe think that that tire will look too small?

I know i might be over analyzing this, but i wanna make sure everything comes out perfect.

Thanks

I am just wondering if the 295's will fit the stock rim. I blv that the smallest width of a rim is 8" for those tires. The stock 2007 f150 rims are 7.5"....I have heard that you could still get them on. Does any1 know if its possible?

my 295s are on the stock rims--- no problems at all. The guy at the 4 Wheel shop said i could go with 305s on stock rims but would have to trim the valence some so there would be no rubs. Trying to post pics of her truck here but the site isnt cooperating. I'll keep trying

Watch out for that mod bug because once it starts it never ends.

Default I think the mod bug has taken over...

After the intake, the lights, the level kits, and the tires....im already looking into the magnaflow exhaust

I figured i cant have AT tires and level kit w/o an exhaust! lol

Looks like this is gonna get pricy!

Those of us that have already heavily modified our trucks know the price involved. I've got about $12k in mods in my truck right now, probably a little more if I actually sat down and computed the costs. They sure are nice though when you're done, well if there's an actual done point.
