hey all.....
I have a stock 06 F150 FX4. I am about to install a level kit for starters.
Question #1...any level kits better than others? suggestions?
Question #2...I want to put the biggest possible tires and wheels on my truck with zero threat of rubbing. Again, all stock other than the level kit. No other lift. I want the tires/wheels to stick out from under the fender well about 1"-2" inches. What size wheels and tires can I safely put on here to avoid any rubbing issues and what offset would I need to get that 1"-2" outside look? Thanks so much for any help.
Question #3...any tips on tires? I wanna get some good offroad mud tires but something that will have a decent highway ride. tips/suggestions? thanks for your help/suggestions!

 

All the leveling kits are about the same, but price varies. I'd suggest a 2 or 2.5 inch Autospring kit.
As for wheel/tire combo, I'd suggest an 18x9 inch wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing and a 33x12.50-18 or 325/60-18 (33x13.00) tire. A 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of bs will stick out 2 inches farther than the oem wheels while one with 6 inches of bs will stick out and inch farther than stock.
For MT tires, I'd look at the Toyo MT, BFG MT KM or KM2, **** Cepek Mud COuntry, Pro Comp Xtreme MT or the Mickey Thompson MTZ.

 

THANKS WANDELL! You are the man! You know everything! LOL I appreciate the help. Man, I have talked to several different tire stores and the people I have talk to are clueless. I appreciate the help a bunch guy! I kinda like The Cepek Mud tires. Just wasn't sure how they would do on the highway. thanks again

 

Most reviews I've read on the DC's say they perform well and are quiet for a mud tire.

 

thats what I will go with then! for sure! prefect. thanks
