i heard you can fit 33's with only this 2" leveling kit. i may be getting the 18's off of the Z71's here within the next 6 months from my neighbor. if i do, those are def getting some biger tires. everyone always says "BUT ITS A 2 wheel drive." and i reply... "so are Baja trucks. what now?" haha

the first thing i did when i bought my truck was a tire up grade. if your looking to upgrade go with bfg allterrain t/a . there just awesome :xyxthumbs: not cheap but they look cool and handle great. my truck is a 2006 f350 lariet and it came with the crapiest tires continentals. 45 grand for a truck they cant even give me nice rubber..

dont know about continentals on trucks,l but on Crossovers and cars, continentals are awesome! i absolutely loved them on my old Taurus X. no road noise what-so-ever.

yah i have heard a lot of good about the BFG A/T T/A.

The previous owner didnt rotate the tires when he had it, so when it was traded in, they put 4 new mastercraft tires on it, so im not switchin out tires since they are brand new. that would be a waste right now. but when i get the 18's i def will!!

continetals might be good ur right but on a f350 diesel. just didnt look right.
 
just keep in mind if you ever up grade ur rims to a bigger size . the tire prices go wayy up. my rims are 18 inch and my tires ran me 1400 bucks because the larger rim. dosnt make sense to me because its less rubber. but thats the way it is . if i had 16 inch rims the tires would have been alot cheaper for the same size. they gwt you thaqt way with the big rims. im glad my truck didnt come with the 20 inch that ford offers id really be screwed lol. just food for thought

yah factory 20's look nice, but yes, tires are DEF more expensive! i dont like the look of the stock 17's. i love the look of the 18's.

these are the 18's, basically on the same truck as mine. I love how the spokes and center set in about an inch from the outer lip. gives depth. will look nice with a lil bigger tier!

haha :lol:

I need to clean the engine bay on my truck and wife's Tahoe. I must say the new GMT-900's get dirtier under the hood than my old GMT-800 did. I added some foam weatherstripping right where the hood opens to keep some of the dust and dirt out.

Also I wouldnt go Bigger then a 17'' with 33x12.5 tires. To me 18'' and 20'' look like crap because there is less tire and more rim. If you gonna go wheeling you want more tire
