Default 38s?

Hey, I have a 2011 ford 150 crew cab fx4 and I was wondering if anybody has tried to put 38s on these new body style trucks. I had a cummins that I ran 38s on I just like the way the tires look with 20s. I've searched all through the forum and I can't seem to find any information, so maybe yaw can help me out with this. And I'm thinking I'm going to do a 6 inch procomp with a 2 inch hell bent steel leveling kit stacked on top of it. Thanks for any help.

A couple guys on here are running 37s and imo looks great, but I haven't seen anybody with 38's yet. I believe you can run 37's on the bds 6" without any extra height.

I myself aren't running as I have 35's but I know people have put 37's on. I was thinking about after this set of tires need to be replaced getting some 37's but I'm not sure yet.

there are a few people who have run 37 with the bds, its best to stick with a 37x12.5 if you want to run that. Procomp will fit 37 when the coilovers have been cranked i hear it harshens up the ride but looked damn good.

also i almost forgot, on one of the other forums there was a guy that had an f150 with a 6" with 3" body with 2.5 level up front and an aal in the rear running 40's looked damn mean except im not a huge fan of bl's. Also if you google blackplatbds you find numerous threads about one guys build with 38 and i think he went to 40's before finally selling his truck.

Won't that big of a tire destroy the electric steering?
