I had a 2-1/2" level and 35" (285/75/18) Toyo M/T installed Friday on a 2008 F-150 FX4. The truck is perfectly level, I don't think you will be level if you add anything to the back. I have a little bit of rubbing and trimming to do on plastic under front bumper. If I had to do it over again I would go with 33" tires. At full lock the tires barely touch the control arm also. These tires are bigger than I thought, but I do love the look of the truck now! Keep in mind, as per a tire calculator site, you will be going five miles an hour faster than the speedometer reads without a programmer. Hope this helps. Sorry, but I have no clue how to post pictures on here. I can send some to your e-mail/phone if you want.

Thanks! Yeah your setup is nice! I was contemplating on whether I wanted to go with a 6" lift and 35's on 22's, but this was more in my budget. The canopy was on the truck when I bought it. Not necessarily a canopy guy, but it looks good IMO and I can always take it off in the summer.

Yeah it's funny how the wishlist doesn't get any shorter. The more you buy, the more you want! I will definitely be going without the canopy in the warmer months, but in Washington it rains 8 months out of the year!
