After many many hours of research I finally decided on my options and got it done. I didn’t know what level kit I should buy or knew if I wanted 33's or 35's which seems to be the same question asked by many ppl on here, so maybe this can help. I went with 3" ready lift leveling kit along with 3" rear blocks and 295 70 18 Nitto Trail Grapplers on my stock lariat wheels. I know there are cheaper lifts out there and they are all prob great, I just got a good deal with the ready lift at the shop I got mine done at. As for the tires though, and now this is just MY opinion, I think a 295 70 18 is the perfect size tire for the f150 leveled trucks on stock wheels. It measures about to be 34.4 inches in diameter and is a better fit width wise for a stock wheel instead of the 12.5's I know a lot of ppl are running. I love my set up, it’s not too tall and the tires fill in nice and there not too bulky, it’s just right for me. This is just what I think and I wish I could have gotten this info a lot sooner in my search so maybe this can help someone.

-these pics don’t do it justice but I plan on posting more, better ones soon. Please tell me what yall think and be honest. I have thick skin

p.s. Also, post some pics of your truck with ready lift or 295 tires

I think you're right. They look great. Especially using stock wheels, I think you nailed it! How do you like the Trail Grapplers so far? What made you go with those? How's the noise level? And judging by your picture, you've had a chance to test them in the rain, how'd they do? Sorry for the questions, just considering those tires myself. Great job on your truck though!

 

I got the trails manly for size. There are only a couple of brands I could find in a 295 70 18 and to me the trail grapplers looked the best. I've only had the tires for a week but they handled well in the rain and very little noise level(only on hwy, none in town). I couldnt ask for it to handle better. In the short time I have had them I have had a ton of compliments and had two buddies go to the shop and get some price quotes to put them on thier ride.

 

Looks great.

 

Not a bad look at all.....I too was considering using the stock wheels. Good info, thanks for sharing.....

 

Looks Great, Anybody have 305-65-18s stock wheels?

 

Looks awesome, I agree that size is really good with a leveling kit.

 

Your truck looks great!!!

How do your CV angles look with the 3" ReadyLift on the front? Please post a picture of the front underside if you get a chance.

There are quite a few people on here running the 305/65/18's on stock wheels if you do a search. I am actually running them myself. Here is a thread I made with some pics of the 305/65/18...sorry for the crappy quality pics they came from a cell phone...hopefully they help you a bit though. Next time I would consider what the OP did and get a 295/70/18 or maybe even a 285/75/18. I would not be cramming as wide of a tire on the stock rim and it would be a little taller.

Do you have any power adders on the truck (tuner,exhaust ect.)? I am in the need for new tires and have been eyeing these tires also. But I tow a camper and a Jeep and I don't want to kill the truck and I am not a big fan of the tuners and such.

 

Im getting that same tire in the same size but with the XD addicts. Wheels are on the way now!!
