Whitehorse - your truck is sick dude. Wow man, I love those Monsters in 20s! I hope I will be happy with the Cranks. They were one of the few XD series wheels available with a factory (0") offset that I liked... If I decided to spend the extra money required for the 20s and 35s for 20s, I would have gone with the Monsters with absolutely zero hesitation, but they don't look as cool in the 18 (my opinion only). I have a friend who "had" the Monsters in the 18 and didn't like them, so I was influenced a tad... I decided to go with 35s (after killing myself for 2 years of flip flopping between your exact set up and the one I'm going with) because I am so relaxed when I drive... I plan well and don't hog the left lane - just kind of kick back and enjoy some talk radio and take my time... So - I am hoping to not suffer too much at the pump... I have owned four ford trucks (97 Ranger XLT 4.0, 99 F150 Lariat 2WD 4.6, 2001 F150 Lariat 4WD 5.4, and now my 05 F150 FX4), and have always wanted to be in the "35 club" and I cannot believe tomorrow's the day dude... I am probably the biggest Ford homer on the face of the planet.. I seriously will never drive anything else... I know Ford has there issues, but every truck does... I am so proud to own Ford... We are the best group of Americans out there... Holler.

Thanks man. 35s are my next addition when these tires are done and I get a lift. Don't know what wheels I'll get...they'll be black though lol Go Ford or Go Home!!!!

I finally put my baby girl to bed, so here are the pics! I am very pleased with the look! I did notice the power has suffered a bit, but the truck actually shifts better? Weird... Anyway, the ride is SOOOOO much better now that I am not riding on 22s anymore!! I am pumped now - really want to regear, but I know that's another year of saving... Probably attack getting a tuner now!! This is exactly the visual I was going for - totally nailed it with the XD Cranks. Let me know what ya'll think! Don't hold any punches seriously - everyone is not fan of the black wheels. I love the new stance, and I still have a tad of a rake (which is what I wanted). My Lariat buddies here in town love it. They both have 33s and now want the 35s! HAHA!! But I will be the snail in the bunch until I regear... All good tho - bc I am an extremely safe driver - to the shagrin of my friends and family who happen to be in my truck and are late for something. Can't wait to wash her up and make her shine! I am thinking about starting a thread on the difference in ride and power between the two set ups... I included the before pic (with 22s and 305/45's) and the after pics (with 18s and 365/65's). Totally different truck - I am so happy I spent so much time researching. I can post pics of the trimming too if anyone is interested - let me know. The shop did it for me. These guys were class acts!

Thanks for the feedback!! I appreciate it. Hope more people chime in. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that there was some trimming required, but it wasn't anything other than plastic areas. Thanks again!

Yea should look good i have an RC 2.5 leveling kit and am looking for some 35s def thinking about going with 18s too, with some advice on the exhaust i reserched and went for the Dynomax bullets, im running true duals with high magna flow high flow cats, I bought the whole setup from amazon for $200 and paid a muffler shop to install everything and weld it all up. I also have the K&N intake with superchips programmer and the K&N program, it really improves the mileage and performance of the truck. amazon is a really good place to buy truck stuff, i researched alot and found they are usually cheaper than other places and websites. hope the advice helps. Ive got a 2007 F150 with 5.4
