Your truck is what pushed me to find a set of factory 20s. Other than the year difference, wheel style and toolbox finish we're nearly identical looking. Mine will probably be the height yours is now though since I'm 2wd, but I'll definitely post pictures.

My 20's ride much better on these crappy Alabama interstates. The roads made the 18's rough riding.

Got the computer corrected to the 20 inch tire size for the sum of $90. Now the speedo is only 1-1.5 mph off versus the 2-3 before reprogramming. I wish I would have checked it with the original tires. Now I'm waiting on my new 275/60-20 Cooper Zeon LTZs to be mounted.

Getting ready to go with some 275x60x20's (33x11) looking for a lighter weight tire to replace the heavy 10 plys I have now. Please take some pics of the new Coopers.

Here are a few pics until I have time to clean it up and find a good spot for pics. The tires ride great and aren't too noisy for XL ATs. Overall I'm in love with the look except it needs to be higher, just not sure on the parts I want to lift it with. It's sagging a little because the factory wheels and tires are in the bed, but that's about the rake I'd like just higher.

Oh cool. I love my 20s. They're actually my favorite rim that Ford makes for these trucks. Apparently I looked too fast the first time cause I didn't even realize yours is 2wd. Guess the height won't be exactly like I'll do eventually but I'd still like to see pics when you get it done *thumbsup* I'm still a few years away from new tires and a level unfortunately
