4" lift scheduled for Friday
Finally got my BDS lift scheduled for this Friday.
I took a bunch of "before" Picts and will take some "after" Picts this weekend.
I'll be putting my old 20" FX wheels with Terra Grapplers (305-55) from my previous F150 on until I can decide on a wheel/tire combination. There are too many choices and I'm struggling on what I want.
I have a Tuxedo Black FX4 with red letters/emblems and I want wheels with some subtle red accents.
So far, it's between Tuff T01 (possibly T02) and Ballistic Jester. These all come in black with red inserts.
The tires will be 34.5-35 tall by 11.5-12" wide but don't want them to stick out too far. Looking for 0 to +12 offset on the wheels.
My old FX2 had Motometals with -12 offset and they stuck out pretty far. Had to put Bushwhacker fender flares to minimize the dirt shot up from the tires. Ended up looking fantastic but had a wider stance then I wanted.
We'll see how it looks with the 33's for now. The FX wheels are gunmetal grey and I may Plastidip black for now.
If I go with taller tires, I may have to re-gear.

Lonestar state of mind
In my opinion, I would put the order of the wheels as Jesters, TO1s, stock, no wheels at all, TO2s.
I'm basing this solely on pictures because the only ones I've seen in person are the Jesters (and they look sharp!).

I want a 4'' lift, but I think I will spend the dough on regearing first. Then maybe lift next year.

Lol, that's how I felt with my cap and Method rims this last week! It's about done as it looks great but I think a 4" and some gears with 35" tires may be in order.

wait. what?
have you considered the Moto Metal MO961? those are available with a red accent as well, and it's also removable which I thought was kind of cool. just throwing it out there.
