Leveling/Tires Question?
I just bought this ‘11 FX4 SuperCrew. Love the truck but wanted to level it and get some new tires. Im getting it done at my local 4 Wheel Parts and they suggested a 2” level kit on front and 35 MTs. I am keeping the stock wheels btw.
I am a duck hunter and will be in a little mud but nothing crazy..... this is also not my everyday ride but I will drive it a descent amount on the road.
Let me know yalls thoughts I haven’t had a truck in over 10yrs so needed some advice.
Thanks in advance

The KO2s are highly recommended as well, but the price is quite a bit steeper on those.
It really boils down to what you’re using them for. If you’re a back country trail guy like me, you need better performance in wet muddy conditions. If you’re out west, you’re more concerned with puncture resistance and grip on gravel. It all depends on your needs.

Thanks LexPD. Im in TN and hunt over in Arkansas with similar conditions you have in KY I am sure. My wife is from Louisville and is a big UK fan.
Again thanks I think I need to just pay the extra money and get the Nitto or BFGs!
I tried to post pics of my truck on here but having trouble doing it from my phone. I’ll do it once I get in front of my computer.

As for tires, there’s hundreds of options out there. And the research can be overwhelming. I’m sure there are cheaper alternatives to the Nitto and BFGs. But I know those two come highly recommended. I currently have the cooper AT3s on my truck. They are ok. Tend to spin in rain and wet roads a bit. I won’t be buying another set of these any time soon. But I know some guys love them. I guess it really boils down to price and your personal preferences.

My BFG A/T 275/70R18 KO2s are on order w 2” front level kit. Excited to see what it will look like afterwards. I wanted to go a little bigger on tires but they said I was limited w the 18” rim.
Thanks for your help.....will post pics at some point.

Definitely post pics. The narrow width of our factory rims limits our tires. I know there are guys on here who have gone bigger. I think I saw someone running a 295/80/18 or some variation close to that. My next set is going to be bigger for sure. I’ve got the Bilstein 5100 set on order, so I’m gonna shoot for the biggest tire possible with minor trimming.
I hope you enjoy the KO2s. I think they are one of the best tires out right now in the AT tire.

I have a 2015 and I have a level lift and had 35 Trail Graps on 18" stock wheels. It is my DD. While there is some noise, it didn't bother me and they rode great. I was able to get 75K out of my first set with proper rotation. Good luck to you, lots of choices out there.
