Default 225nontypical's build

this is my first f150 and so far I love it. it is by far the most comfortable truck i have ever owned.
here are the truck stats:
2013 super crew 5.0L 4x4 6.5' bed with the lariat plus package in ingot silver.
I bought it 11-10-13
the first thing i did was pick up a set of weather-techs for the front and back.
then linex was done this last Thursday.
Last week i also ordered a 4" BDS lift with upgraded fox shocks.
I also ordered some fuel krank wheels and a set duratrac 325/65/18 tires.
I was leaning towards some nitto trail grappler's M/T's but i got a smoking deal on the duratracs.
I got a call yesterday saying the lift was in, so we scheduled the lift install for Tuesday.
no my only problem is the wheels are here but the tires haven't shown up yet.
the last thing i am doing is getting a tuner (sct 3015) . it is also on order and i should have it next week.
I do also want to upgrade my front bumper but that will have to wait since I am pretty tapped out after rest of the stuff.
pictures coming soon.

Man I debated back and forth on that I just didn't want it to tall. I am worried I might regret not going 6". I guess I will wait and see. I'm hoping they are done with it today!

overall im pretty happy. i wish i would have done a 5" backspacing instead of a 4.5". we had to trim some due to rubbing issues and the tires stick out a little more then i wanted also the tires feel a little soft but it still rides really nice. i might have to play with the airpressure to see if that helps with the floating feeling.
i still have not put the tuner on it since i wanted to see what it felt like without it. i will install that in the next couple days.
so now i need to decide if i am going to get fenderflares or try to pull the wheels in a little more. i think flares are going to be the way to go.
let me know what you all think, and i will try and get more pictures up tomorrow
