Default questions

before i go of and buy everything i want to recheck everything.

1. what is the widest tire that will fit on the stock rims of a 2wd 07 f150, i think the wheels are 7.5" wide?

2. if i decide to get 37s, will it hurt my truck physically or just make it slower?

3. with a 6" susp. lift and atleast a 2.5" leveling kit on the 2wd will 35s or 37s will work fine with minimal rubbing?

The largest tire you will be able to fit is a 33x12.50 and ONLY if you do at least a 2" level kit in the front. Not an expensive operation but slightly time consuming depending on your skill level. The spacers are like $80.

The black plastic peices are gonna be alot more to purchase new than to take it to a body shop and have it painted. Those parts come from the dealer black and primered when purchased as replacements anyway wich will require them still be painted.

Hope this helps.

i doubt you fit 37 with a 6 in lift a on 2wd, and depending on what lift kit your prob not gonna be able to do both a lift and a level, you cant just stack kits, before you go dumpin all this money into this truck since you obviously want the 4x4 look go buy you one and then get a lift and tires and go from there.... it will prob be cheaper anyhow

i would definitely prefer a 4x4 however i just got this truck and dont know how trade ins go as far as me just buying a truck from them, bringing it back and saying "what else ya got"

its got a 4.6 in it and i know you cant stack lifts but i wouldnt think that a leveling kit and the susp. lift would make a big difference, seems like ive seen it done on forums a lot.

i will probably just end up doing the 6in procomp susp. lift and 35s, doesnt seem like that will be a problem from what ive read/seen on here and other forums
