Don't know where to start
Recently bought my first f150. 2011 EB FX4. Since then I've added a k&n intake, superchips tuner, flowmaster catback. I really want to lift and slap on new wheels and tires, but not to sure what to do. Any recommendations?

LS swap? usually a good place to start. haha
You need to decide to your budget. That is #1. You can dream all you want but unless you have green backs or one of those plastic things with enough room they decide what you do.
After that if budget isn't the deciding factor you need to figure do you want slightly bigger then stock or do you want stupid huge!
2" level and some 36x12.5r20 would look much stronger then stock
8" lift and some 38x14r20s would be pretty big.
12" lift and 40s you better hope you get to roll down a lot of hills but it will be bad ***.

Well the level is cheap. Go to ebay and you are set. Get it aligned with the stock tires on it.
Then you will be looking for a 285 or a 305 tire in the rim size you want. Probably 20". Depending on the wheel and tire you choose you are looking at $1600-$3000 for wheels and tires.
