new tires and wheels

i just put my new tires and wheels on they are 38 inch kumhos on 24x12 rockstars. it now has 3 inch body lift on top of my 6 inch pro comp with 2 inch leveling kit and 2 inch aal. it sits good bit taller now. il get new pics soon. also i am about to get gears and i was wondering which ones to get either 4.56 or 4.88s i want the best performance.

Bro your truck looks like one of my old Nitro R/C trucks. I'm not a big fan of anything over 20", but those look pretty sweet on your rig.

After your comment, I think we all know what you have been doing





Looks good man. I have been waiting to comment since you posted it. I wasn't sure what to think. Looked a bit funny to me at first, but I like it a lot the more I look at it.

Did you have to get the wheels special ordered and drilled to 6x135? I been wanting to do 22x12's, but 22's and 24's only come in I believe 9" wheel or something close to that with a high offset. I like my wheels now, but want something new and there are very few wheels with a low offset.

Wow that is a lot of wheel and tire! 1st time I have seen the chrome rockstars on a F150 and they look good. I would never go that big but I have to admit it looks great on your truck! It does look like you need to add flares though? Bet those things sling stuff all over the sides. Very nice!
