wheel bolt pattern and lift questions.
Just curious if the 09 f150 had the same 6x135mm bolt pattern that the 08 had. Im trying to find wheels for my truck and all and no sites are listing stuff for the 09 that I can find anyway.
Second I was wondering if the wheels people are purchasing are 9 or 10 inches wide. Im curious how far they stick out of the wheel wells (maybe someone has pics looking down the side of the truck). I just dont want them sticking out to far cuz they will plaster the side with little stones and kill the paint. BUT i do want a beefy tough look still.
Lastly I was wondering where people are finding the best deals on lift kits. I plan on installing it myself (unless ill have warranty issues with that). I was thinking either BDS or pro comp since they seem similar.

As for lifts I went with the BDS kit locally, but I wouldn't be afraid to buy from this seller on eBay as they have a very good reputation. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BDS-H...Q5fAccessories You can find their regular website @ http://www.trucktoyzperformance.com/...side_index.htm
Marty is well known, is very knowledgeable, and was willing to answer my questions.
