Lol, they are nice. The 22's bug me a bit but they are sharp. If you ever decide to buy one here some advice. Don't open the doors with a Bull around!

A lot of good looking trucks!! I posted a thread yesterday but I don't think it was seen by much so I will ask it here..since it is a platinum question.

I know it has been discussed frequently but even with all of my searching I still haven't quite found what I'm after. I'll start by saying today I went to my local Truck shop and got a quote for a 6" BDS lift kit with Fuel D517 wheels and a set of Toyo Open country AT's...with alignment, speedo recalibration and taxes and all that good stuff the grand total came to $6250.

1. How is that price compared to what other have been quoted?
2. Fender flares...yes or no?
3. Any other tire recommendations. I am lifting it purely for aesthetics and won't be doing much if any off roading so I have read the Toyo's have a great tread life and a pretty good ride.

It is also important to note the truck is a 2013 F150 Platinum in tuxedo black. Thanks for any input!!

Haha exactly!

Thank you sir, love the grill like this!


As for the price for all that, what size tires? I know my 35s would have been around 1800 with taxes had I not had a hook up.
On top of wheels and all that. That doesn't sound too terrible of a price.

35" tires....It may not be a terrible price but it is just a bit more than I was expecting. And this makes a little difference but it isn't the 6" coil over lift that is like $3,200 it is just the standard 6" lift which is right around 2k

Pretty close to the right price.

1. seems a bit pricey to me, i dont know the price of those wheels, but im figuring lift, tires, and wheels are about $4k for the parts. That means you are getting charged $2k for labor which at $80 an hour works out to 25 hours of work, which seems high.
2. i do not like fender flares
3. similar to the toyo ATs would be nitto trail grapplers, cooper discovery AT3, goodyear duratrac

Tires should be around 1600, lift 2000, wheels if 20s are like 255 for black each so id say 1020. But I also am not 100% on pricing because I normally do all my own work.

4620 for parts before tax. So 1600 for labor, alignment and taxes. Idk may be a little high.

I don't have a platinum but I think that price is pretty close, especially if that includes tax. Those tires are more than $1600 for a set, more like 1800. If you aren't offloading you probably don't need flares. Im not sure where you love, but I will say that I drove in a bunch of snow, salted roads, etc before I put my flares on and the whole truck was coated in salt and grime. That's all fine until you can't even see out the windows.
