Question tire size for 6 inch bds suspension lift?

im buyin a 2010 f 150 here in about a month and im gettin a bds high clearance 6 inch suspension lift put on it and i was planning on getting 35x12.50 nitto mud grapplers. the lift kit claims it can clear 37's tho and i am just wandering if the 35's will look too smallany feedback will be greatly appreciated and if you have pictures of a truck with a 6 inch lift and 35's id love to see it..thanks!!

35s will look fine, thats what the majority of people use with with that size lift, including myself. the problem with 37s (besides finding the right wheels to even allow you to use them with out hitting anything) is that you will probably find that you will want to regear with a tire that big. so unless you got money to possibly need to regear when you get everything on i say stick with 35s.

Default 35s

I like 35s with the 6 inch. Dont think they are too small and I would probably regear if going up to 37s.

heres 35s with my 6" RCX kit, great kit btw and affordable.

Thanks.
Yeah, Rough Country. I can attest its a solid kit. $1,300.00 for everything you need, so long as you dont mind strut spacers. Rear blocks have 4 u bolts each side rather than the usual 2. Id only say if you are doing hardcore off roading then you might want to think about strut replacements and maybe add-a-leafs, otherwise Rough Country is the way to go IMO. Just my .02
