Lifted f150 needing new tires/rims
#12
Truck looks sick the way it is. Find someone to do the alignment. There are a lot of lifted trucks running around so alignment is possible. Don't go smaller, their is a truck here that's jacked up sitting on what seems to be stock tires and it looks like crap.

Damn 650 for a hub replacement? Hate to say it, but they ripped you off.. Both front hubs cost around 130 and install is only 3-4 hours max. In a shop with a lift probably 2 hours max for one side.

It seems that everyone wants to tell you to leave your truck alone and nobody wants to address the problem your having. Lol
Since you didn't say the size of your tires im going to assume there 35" tall on a 18" wheel.
If you want to go smaller there are a ton of metric sizes you can get that will go down in hight and width and lighten up the tire.
Also when buying new tires don't let them talk you into a load range E tire! There heavy and made for trucks with a lot higher load capacity then your f150.
A 33/12.5/18 tire would look fine.
There's also 275/70/18 and many others.
As for not being able to align your truck cause of your "big" tires...lol people get wheel alignments every day with bigger tires then yours! Sounds like bull $h¡t on there part!

Romp It!
And even that is pretty generous. I can rip apart my rotors and pads and put on new ones in 45 minutes(each side) so I imagine I could do the hubs in about an hour. And thats on the floor with a jack lol
