Thanks! This is my first time with a vehicle that is lifted/leveled with MT style tires. Not sure what to think about it just yet. I find myself constantly worrying that something is going to go wrong due to the larger tire size like the transmission going out, ball joints taking a dump, etc. I'm also a chronic worrier when it comes to my truck so that may have something to do with it. Haven't had a chance to calculate the mpg with the new tires yet...kinda scared to do that.

^^^ That right there is what has me afraid of getting larger tires. Ball joints aren't too bad, annoying, but not too bad. Did the lowers a while ago and don't have to remove the strut, uppers on the other hand... I'm doing those now just did the passenger side for now. Tomorrow I'll tackle the other side. And I've had the transmission rebuilt not too long ago so if it goes out with the tires, my trans warranty should cover the rebuild.

If it makes you feel any better I've got a 6 inch RCX lift and 35 toyo mts and I'm getting right around 13.5 without my PCM being adjusted for bigger tires and wheels

Has anyone had an issue with gettin the 04-08 perfectly level or eliminating the front rake all together? I've had two types of leveling kits and it has yet to work for me. What can I do?

Google Ford Logo images. Then save to USB stick, you then have to connect the usb stick to the radio. When you set your back ground image you will see the option from the USB.
