please explaine 35x17x12.5 tires and why they need flames on them to grab dirt

Be careful with these lifted trucks, yesterday i just found out that i have to spend $1300 to replace my upper and lower ball joints. I'm sure you know that with f-150's you cant just replace upper ball joints, you have to replace the whole upper control arm.

no way! big tires and lift kits will wear out ball joints!!!!

and why pay that much. you could do it yourself for under $200...

That's a trick question, isn't it?

Smart ***.

And i know i got the parts for $120 and did the upper arms/ball joints today in about an hour, just needed to borrow a pickle fork from a neighbor, im not sure how im going to do the lower ball joints seeing how i need a press to do it.

What did you torque the ball joints to?
You can rent/borrow the tool needed for this from autoZone, Advanced auto, Murrays when your done take it back and get your money back. Cheapest tools I've ever used.

Stage I Pro Comp 6 inch suspension. I ran 4.56 gears which like everyone is sayin is good for torque and power compared to a 4.10. If you want 35's get the 4.56 in my opinion

harbor freight has ball joint presses for pretty cheap. $32.99.

I believe you are referring to the Nitto's and I believe they are more for sand than dirt. When you air down to tow a 9000 pound toyhauler through the sand those flames become one wide azz contact patch.

Has the Camburg 6.5 kit on the front, gives it almost 10 inches of useable travel. Getting Deavers for the rear with Bilstein 5100's in about 2 weeks, and has 4.56's with an Eaton locker and Superior axles. When I get the rear suspension on I am going to 35's with glass up front and pulled rear sides. If anyone needs some 3.5 Fabtech spindles they can come pick them up for $150
