Default Tire question
Okay so Im getting a 2" rough country level kit installed tomorrow at the ford dealership. I also found some nice 20" metal mulisha rims on craigslist for $150 ea so I snagged them. The question is, if I get 35" tires will I lose a lot of performance/mpg etc. and just get 33"s instead, or would I be safe to get 35"s without changing my gears.

also can someone post pics of each one?

I just checked the sticker on the door, apparently 3.73.

2.5" quicklift with a 2" rear block with 33s. I have the 3.73 gears and mine still drives pretty good and didn't notice a huge power loss.

Yes and Yes. MPG's will suffer for sure with the 35's.

What is your dealership charging for the level install?
