Leveled/New Tires on my Platinum
Finally decided to go and level my truck and put some more aggressive tires on. I went with a 2 inch T6 Billet Ready Lift and put on some Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/65/20. Trying to decide if I really like the look of it or if I need to change up the tires. The only alternatives to the tires would be going to the Nitto 275/60/20, or going to the BF Goodrich 275/65/20. I tried the BFs for a a few days but they just hummed s badly. I also just ordered my 5 Star Tune! Let me know what you guys think. (Sun did not want to cooperate so I will get some much better pics up when I get a chance)

I really like the 'after' look of your truck. Don't know why Ford didn't make them this way. My choice in a 20" tire was the Dick Cepek Fun Country II's in a 35/10.50/20. I chose these tires because of their center rib design, which over the first 1000-1200 miles have provied a fairly quiet ride. They tucked neatly into the fenderwell with a -18 offset wheel, which I feel, helped with the noise issue. I've also added Bushwacker Extend-A-Fender flares to help keep the tires covered as much as possible. Here are a couple pics to let you see what I'm talking about. Best of luck with your Red Rider!

A few more Pictures. Yes I know they are not the best, I am no professional by any means. I am having so problems getting them uploaded on to my computer from my digital camera, so iPhone pics will have to due. Consistently there seems to be a blur on the left side of the pictures, or is that just me? Probably a fingerprint over my camera.

And to think I was seconds away from purchasing the Brown Platinum.
The tint is a must in this Houston weather, between 40-95 degrees in the same day, it turns on a dime.
Appreciate it! I actually have been looking at your truck for a while deciding if I wanted your tire size.
I do as well, I thought about replacing them with something else, but then again everyone does. With the factory Platinum wheels I actually think it stands out more so than with custom wheels.
