I'll have a set of OE steps off my Platinum once I get my powersteps installed, I may have a set of OE wheels/tires off my platty too, as I am considering aftermarket wheels/tires. I have a Ford IDS, so I can reprogram your PCM to match the 20" tire size, of course, I would need the truck to do that service.

Below is the "donor" truck for wheels/tires and running boards

These are the Stock 18" Wheels, I have no plans to change them. They shine up easy with just Window Glass cleaner as you are not suppose to use chrome polish.
This Pic is the day I got the Truck, shows the wheels better.

I pretty much hate the wheels on this thing. Just look too small for the wheel well. Can I go bigger size? Can you add those fancy mod's that go above and around the wheel well? They have them on the King Ranch. Also hate the jump seat and would like to replace with a console if possible.

Just couldn't afford the King Ranch, so trying to do what I can here...lol

Thanks for any suggestions.

Here's a pic of it. They are adding chrome running boards.


Nice truck! I have considered a 6.2 in the 250 also. Does yours have height adjustable seats?

Hey, Spectragod...I like those wheels and Tires. I'm getting a chrome running board like that installed right now. If I can get the look you have now on that truck, I would be happy.

No, I didn't get the power seats. It's pretty stock, so they don't raise. I'm coming from a maxed out f150, so I thought I would miss the power seat option...but, after sitting in it, seems the perfect height, etc. just as is.
