[QUOTE=UNBROKEN;5285495]I forgot I was gonna throw some old trucks in here.
I built this 04 F250 starting in 04...it went through many looks and motors. Wound up with a 1000HP twin turbo Cummins in it and was featured in Diesel Power, Diesel World, Diesel Builder and 8-Lug magazines over the years.




Love the 04 F250 with the 05-07 front end. Still remember when I put the 05-07 front end on my 01 Superduty. Still miss that truck.......

UNBROKEN, did you ever get the LED plate lights from the F-250 to work on your truck?

Yes sir. I didn't cut the outside of the housing like everyone else. I opened up the hole in he bumper cover with a sanding drum on a dremel about 1/8" all the way around and it snapped right in.

Well that's easy. I've got one that is cracked (assuming it was overlooked when I bought it, hailstorm...), and thought about putting those in there if they fit.

It takes a little work...but very little. Once you open the hole up they plug right in.

Beautiful! Your wheels choice inspired my wheel choice. Black Rhino Thrust will be going on tomorrow. Just a 20x9.5 for now.

Looking at these pics, I cant see why 305/35/24" tires would NOT fit. I'll share my findings in a few days. I went with 305/35/24" tires. I guess if they dont fit...for whatever reason, I will be able to switch them out. (Discount Tire)

Totally depends on the brand. Some run wide, some run narrow. Pirelli runs notoriously narrow...Lexani runs wide. Same for many others. A wide 305/35 would run on mine. I already had to pull the back of the fender liners back to stop the rubbing with a 295/35. Budro had to pull his back with a 2” drop and Yokohama 305/35/24’s, which tend to run wide, to stop the rubbing.
