Whats up guys...
sorry i havnt responded to some of the questions a little sooner, but I was having computer issues..
Thanks for the compliments, I really appreciate it.
-As for for the mpg impact, I did loose 1 or 2 mpg's with hanging those wide tires outside the fenderwell on those neg. offset rims like that. But, I didnt notice any loss of power at all, and still has plenty of pulling power. Think I just created a constant winddrag on top of the already windy conditions we have had lately.
-As for the ride quality, I didnt notice any change in ride comfort from the leveling kit or the wheels and tires. I actually think that it handles even better with the wider stance.

Whats up man,
No bags on the rear, just like you said, I had the SXS over the axel at the back to keep from sagging. My dad bulit that 18' trailer and it weighs tons by itself so there is plenty of tongue weight.
Anyway, Nice truck man!! Kinda jealous actually,lol. I just traded in my 2009 GMC 2500HD Crew Cab 4x4 Duramax Diesel with 6" Pro Comp, 35" Toyo MT on 20" XD Badlands on this F150 Ecoboost. Now I feel so short and its killing me. I see youre from Houston, Im not too far from you. I actually had my last truck lifted at 4wheel Parts on the loop there by the Reliant. How does That Ecoboost handle with your lift, rims tires, ect... I am itching to do mine so bad that I can hardly stand it and then I saw yours which doesnt help, lol. What kind of mileage are you getting?

Truck looks great dude!! Want to sell me your stock wheels/tires?
As far as small truck goes, I can relate. I went from an 04 QC/LB Dodge with a 2" lift and 35's to this truck that has 17's and is considerably lower. Oh well, it works for now!! Good luck with your truck!

I can assure you that 'Brother's trailer is stout. I've towed it a few times with my F250 and it's plenty heavy. Of course, I put the SxS on the front of the trailer... LoL!
Nice truck, bro. You definitely got a nice ride.

I'm averageing 12.8 right now. Just turned 1,000 mi. The truck rides great with the lift. Still has plenty of power, it will actually spin those 35" Nittos...
Had to test it and see !! Won't be doing it anymore because those tires ain't cheap.

What's up buddy? That's actually our 16ft in your picture there, hooked up to your big booty dooty, lol. The trailer hooked up to my truck in this pic is our 18ft. She is new definition of heavy, lol, but there is never a question of, "can she handle it?". Next time we go ride, we can strap her on to the Dooty and let her buck, lol.
