I told him I wanted the new BFG's for my stock wheels. He asked what kind of lift does the truck have? He then goes on and said there is no way a 35" tire will fit on a f150 w/ no suspension lift!!

......I know they will Ive seen it w/ my own two eyes......The hell w/ them Im ordering from tirerack!!!
He also told me My truck has the sensors inside the tires therefor It will be another $50 to mount them. I thought the monitoring device was new for 07's?

BTW truck is a 2006

 

They just go by what the book says.

 

You are correct, the 2007's have the TPMS and the '06's do not. As for 35's with no lift? I don't know about that? With a 2.5" level kit you can run them with stock wheels, but without *any* lift, I wouldn't think you can.

 

You really should have at least a 2" AS up front to do a 35".

$50 extra to mount a tire with a sensor? Can you say ripoff? All they have to do is watch for it when they de-bead the tire.

Give me a call if I can help, or to order.

 

Nevermind with what i said.

 

I told him I had a 2.5 up front and am getting a AAL for the rear. He said it wouldnt work b/c they did a 6" procomp lift last week and 35's barely fit on it. I told him 33's w/ aftermarket wheels and 35's w/ stockers.

 

He is going by the book. they will fit.

 

Yea...these guys are funny! I'm shopping for 20's right now and so I asked about a particular wheel in a 20X10 for my truck. He asked me why I wanted a 10" wide wheel so I told him because I like the way a 12.5 tire fits on a 10". Then he proceeded to tell me how a 10" wheel will never ever fit that truck and I'd be lucky to find a 9" that fit without problems. I then told him how I"ve had a 16X10 and 34X13's for 70,000 miles now with zero clearance issues or problems. The guy all but called me a liar and went and asked his buddy if that would fit. I know it will fit dork...I'm using it right now. Just sell me what I want and don't ask any questions!!

 

Wow screw em! Buy online.

 

I can deal with stupid, but I hate dealing with a stupid person who is convinced he is intelligent.

 

yea defineatly buy them online (cheaper anyways). Have them shipped to your door and take them to get mounted and balanced. Thats what i always do.

 

Just to give you an example on how expensive 4wheelparts is, i called them last week cuz i needed an alignment for my truck after installing various suspension components. They wanted 429$ to align the truck. they said they were charging 89$ each for camber adjusters for the front. Thats bs. I took it to a local shop to get done and they aligned it dead on for 120$. No camber kit needed.

 

4Wheelparts is only good for looking at the pictures and sizes.


Do you find it hard to find a shop that will do it for you? Also, how much do they normally charge you?

 

Be carefull with tire rack they will call you to warn you they won't fit without lift. Just tell them you have a lift. That is what I did. I had pep boys install.

 

We call any online purchase as a precaution just to make sure you know what you are doing. We catch a LOT of online errors this way.
