Also, think twice before putting 35's on your truck. Depending on your engine, gear ratio, and pocket depth..

I was about to pull the trigger on 35's but purchased 33's because I didn't want my 4.6L to become a slower slug then it already is.. people said "Your fine with 3.73 gears!" but I would highly recommend re gearing if you have those.. which again, comes to pocket depth. Just by going up an inch in tire size reduced my MPG quite a bit and a couple more inches and quite a few pounds more going to 35's and I don't even want to know what those numbers would be.. probably single digits.. people will try and tell you "I'm getting 20 MPG with 35's" blah blah blah.. Its all lies. I personally think 33's looks the best on our trucks with a level kit and can still preform well.

I have 35" tires and 17' wheels off of a 2012 Raptor (cheap, $1,500 with almost new tires). Truck is slower, but not bad. I only get 11 mpg now, I was getting 14 mpg with the stock 20" wheels and tires. On the plus side, my truck looks awesome and the ride is smoother!
