Default Rock Chips

Hey Everyone, Bought a 2011 ford f150 stx 2wd last january and I'm almost done modding it out. I just ordered the bilstein 5100s instead of leveling it. Next thing i'm going for is new tires. Now I used to have a 2010 toyota tacoma(worst truck ever, had nothing but problems) and I had the bilsteins and 31 inch tires and got nothing but rock chips from them, so i'm asking everyone who has done the lift or leveling, if they've had a problem with rock chips and if not, what tire did you use? I'm thinking about going with the nittos all terrain

Any wide tires that stick out past your fenders even a little bit are going to throw stuff that causes chips, it doesn't matter what kind

yea i hear ya, my toyota was a nightmare, a hail storm messed up that truck big time so they had to repaint the whole truck so everything would match, so no more rock chips, but a week later they were back. All i had were bridgestone all terrains 31 inch, but toyotas paint sucks too
