I am not sure if these have been asked before. Forgive me if they have.

I have a '10 Platinum 4x4 with the 5.4L.

1. Has anyone leveled out their trucks but kept the stock wheels/tires on? Does it look funky, or does it look ok? Keep in mind, I have the 20" wheels. Once I am due for new tries, I might go with some All-terrains, but I was thinking of going with the Michelin LTX M/S2s. I drive mostly highway, but I am in the mountains, so something that is good for snow/ice is a must. I really don't offroad all that much/at all, but I want to be able to if I need to.

2. I have heard of/seen a couple trucks with the raptor exhaust. Will either the 6.2 or the 5.4 models bolt on? I am only wanting to do the catback, so I am not worried about the headers/manifolds or the mid pipe.

Thanks for looking, and again, I am sorry if these have been answered already.

 

If you are driving on the highway stick with a good highway tire. I have always run the pirelli (atr i think) that came with the truck when new they are not good in the mud or snow but good on the highway. I run blizzaks winter tires in the winter there are no all terrain that is good on ice like the bkizzaks are. I have had numerous mud and all terrain tires over the yrs and imo they do not compare to winter tires. So if you are running stock size tires run summer and winter tires.

It looks kind of funky with stock tires on a leveled truck. It will look better with some bigger meats to fill the wheelwells.

 

Awesome. Thanks guys.

 

I'm going with a 1" level and I have 275/55R20 Michelin LTX MS/2's. anything more starts to look iffy. The MS2 is a great tire, I swear by them, great in any condition. If I were you I'd go with the 275/60R20 size. A bit taller, ride nicer and look good with a 1.5" or 2" level. They did alright in mud too.

 

Anyone have any info on the raptor exhaust?

 

Rather then run two sets of tires just get Dura tracks, for your case are the only way to go !!!! Rotate them every oil change and they will be fine for the highway driving amazing on ice and snow and aggressive enough for mud I had them on my last truck if I didn't get the deal on my m/t tires I woulda went with dura tracks all the way
