Yea. I have an old Belltech shackle kit to drop the rear 2 inches until I can decide on air or coilover suspension. I'll get the rear dropped next week sometime.

I don't believe it's hard to find rims for any bolt pattern these days. Go on a website like superbuytires.com and use your make, model, etc for your truck and you'll see the different options you have.

I'll take some side shots later this evening after work. I'm not sure about the offset. The rear wheels sit perfectly inside the wheel well, but the front wheels poke out some. I've had that issue with any aftermarket wheels that I've put on the front of a Ford truck. Have any of guys encountered that?

The tires are 295/35/24 I believe. I can't think of the brand off the top of my head.

The ride is actually pretty good. I was surprised at how well the ride is.
