timdog · 03-28-2008, 12:30 AM

Just got a 2008 Mega-Cab 6.7 4x4 traded in my 05 F250 FX4, piece of junk. I'm looking for a rim & tire combo just how big can I go? I'm not ready to lift it yet because I tow daily for work... Pics would be great

good choice on the mega cab you will love it. have a 4 inch lift and 35's on mine. i'm sure 33's will fill the gap without a lift. seems like you'd need a level but maybe not.

i no you said that you aren't gonna lift but i figured i'd show you a pic anyway to use as a gauge... 35's w/ 20's and 4.5" lift...

What offset wheels are those? I have a level kit on mine and I am thinking about going to 20s with either 34s or 5s. Thanks.

stock can fit a 20" wheel with a 5" backspace and a 305/55r20 tire. I have 4" backspace 20" wheel and 40x13.50r20 tires on my Mega Cab

timdog · 04-02-2008, 12:35 AM

I love the lift. Would a 4.5" lift effect towing at high speeds?what kit do you recommend? I like reliability since it is my work truk. Are there any cons to lift kits? thanks
