I'm not sure exactly where that is. I like the area but it's starting to get really crowded so not really ideal. I just bought my first house so in about 5-7 years we will sell it and hopefully buy land. I want a farm.

Thanks. So a 16x8 would be fine for my current tires or are they 17s. I'll have to check when I walk outside next, haha.

I think I'm going to get those Eagle Allow wheels and not worry about a lift for now.

Been searching about for an Edge tuner on like 4wheelparts and all. Is there a recommended model?

Yea look for an edge evolution tuner. what's your budget for one?

your wheels are probably 17s now. If you need new tires definitely go with a wider wheel, it will look a lot better. But a 10" wide wheel with a probably 10.50" wide tire dont look real good

I'm pretty open to whatever. I don't need the full touch screen model.

Could I get away with going with a wider tire with no lift? What would be your recommendation for tire size if I got the 17x10 Eagle Alloy wheel? Or should I go down to the 16x10 and what size then?

The diameter is up to you, it don't really matter, tire prices vary from rim diameter so whatever your willing to pay per tire.

You can go to a wider tire with no lift, might have to trim the lower valence a little but no big deal.

You can fit 33's fine, may have to crank the torsion bars some but that's easy.

I don't want to mess with cranking the torsion. I know some people swear by it but it's just not something I want to risk. Personal preference.

I like my 31s I have now and would like a little wider if possible. Not trying to trim the valance if I don't have to.

Cranking the bars only damages stuff when you max them out. A few twists won't damage anything, but it's up to you.

A wider tire will rub the frame at full lock unless you have some offset wheels, then they'll stick out some but won't hit the frame. And when I say trim the valence I only mean cutting the very edges off, it's not even noticeable when looking at it but allows you to turn the wider wheels without hitting it.

I think a 33 would look good on there, maybe keep a 17" wheel, but you'll pretty much have to trim the edge of the valence whatever you get

Hmm... does that apply even if I lift it?

Usually, because the wider wheel needs space to turn and you want room for suspension flex as well. It's no big deal though, I'll take a pic of mine this afternoon.

Haven't updated this in a while. Decided not to lift the truck. Bought a house and got married so that's where the funds have been going and of course building the Cobra.

I'm thinking about doing a few upgrades. I'm going to be taking it into the shop for my 100k checkup, getting new shocks, replacing the door locks, window motors, seat belts, getting new wheels (thinking about these), getting retrofitted projector headlights, and maybe swapping to LED tails/LED third brake light. Then looking for nerf bars.
