Default My first ever truck and it's an F150. Mod Questions

Loving my new F150 FX2 Truck... just picked it up last week! I've always had cars and SUV, but never a truck (unless you call the Hummer H2 SUT a truck ... a useless truck!)

Anyways, I wanted to put some mods and have already decided on a few...

1) Tonneau cover
2) Rhino bedliner

Now I want to lift it 6", add 20" wheels w/ 35" tires, and also the bushwhacker flares.

Here are my questions:

1) If I do the 6in" lift, what brand is the best rated/bang for my buck?
2) Should I get 20 x 9 or 20 x 10 on the wheels? Looking at either XD or Fuel wheels
3) Tires: I'm thinking 325/55/20 or 305/55/20? Is that right?

Thanks!!

I say bds for the lift. Lots of guys here have them and strongly recommend them

I would do 20x10 fuel wheels, I don't care for xd but its all personal preference.

305-55/20 is a 33 inch wheel, the 325 would be a wide 35 and look much better on a 6 inch lift

Is the tire a 325/55 or 325/60?

Probably a 325/60 thats gonna about 35.5, i'm not sure if anyone makes a 325/55 but that would be a small 35 being a 34.5 diameter. Each manufacturer is a little different on their sizes and what the true measurement is. Was there a particular tire you were looking at?

I keep on seeing the Nitto grapplers but I don't want to have the annoying drone noise on the freeway. My friend recommend BF Goodrich.

I want an agressive setup without compromising too much of the noise and handling.

I'm assuming you mean the terra grapplers since the trail grapplers don't come in that size correct? Or the bfg a/t ko?
