Hey black thunder, Pinewood ford is ok with leveling kits and doesn't void warranty I asked that with my 13. As long as it is a good quality kit and you get a reputable place to install. They did tell me not to go over 2" in front. At Pinewood Ford for a 2" front 3" block installed is $1200.00 lol. I don't know what I want to do yet, I am now looking at 4" lift kits or leveling kit with add a leaf

The stock pirellis are fine in the snow, been running them for the last 2 years here in Alberta. We already have a foot of snow and its -25° C today

I just put on 275/55/20 BFG KO2s. Will run them year round. Had them in 10" of snow and ice here this past week and they were fantastic, better than the three sets of the originals that i've had on my trucks and better than my AT2's on the 2011 FX4.

How fast could I have been going???? Thank god there was no one beside me in the other lane or they or they would have got a mouth full of tailgate. 33,000 km and change the day I took them off. So far it is the single best decision I made with my truck. Wish I could have afforded to do it sooner. Friends don't let friends drive on Pirelli Scorpions

You might not be a idiot but you just described a idiot move.

Seems like my best option, I'll just have to level the truck first to fit wheels that big. Does leveling void warranty on a truck this new?
Keep me in mind if you do decide to sell your stock 20's. I have a wanted ad at Pinewood Ford and on Kijiji but I've had no luck with either.

great to know, I will go with a 2" then. Appreciate the feedback. I will probably go with Hell Bent Steel, thats what i had on the other f150 and they were good. $1200 is insane for an install they must be on drugs lol

Perfect ill add you as well. Yeah Pinewood ford uses Ready lift kit levelling kits and I laughed when thy told me that. I think I might go with the Auto Spring 2" with add a leaf and get either mid way alignment or tractor trailer service to install. I'm a lite nervous about installing a add a leaf (first truck) but feel its probably better than a block for hauling my Atv and towing my trailer.

Well I priced out the OEM 20's on eBay, Kijiji, other sites and would do up to $900.00 depending on condition etc. I really just want the rims to put on 275/65r20

ok, that seems fair. If i do decide to go ahead with selling them I was going to put them on kijiji for $1000, but if you are serious and want them I will do $900 for you. F150 forum discount haha You might just have to wait bit, I don't pick the truck up until next week and then I will be paying for a rust check first and probably tinted windows. Then I'll need to order a level kit and rims...have the kit put on first before i can get the new wheels put on (obviously). Christmas is coming to etc. etc. so by the time thats all said and done it might not be until end of January-February. I wasn't planning on doing any upgrades until spring but the fact that those tires don't sound the greatest is pushing me to change them as soon as possible. You have first dibs on them though.
