| I have a 2004 F150 XLT supercrew 4x4 and I would like to get a little size on my truck. I want to put a 2.5 inch leveling kit on it with 33 inch tires but really dont know much about it. I have stock 17in rims and would like to use those if at all possible to keep the price down. Can anyone give me some advice on some specific tires I should get or the price it will cost me to get it done? Like I said dont really know much about it but would like a little more information so I know what to get. Thanks |

| your tire selection will depend on what kind of tires you want (mudgrip, all terrain, etc..) and how much you wnat to put in to them - the levleing kits i have seen range from $200-350 (plus install) depending on manufacturer and how they are made - based on the truoble im having - id save the money on it - you will need it for the spark plug change on these year trucks - by that is just my beef right now - as far as tire brands, bfg, nitto, and pro comp are good choices - all offer sizes you are looking for in several patterns for 17" rims

| I run 33 on my screw FX4. The best tire I have had are the ones that I have now. They are a cooper tire STT. Aggresive off road tire. Minor humming in highway driveing. Cost is about $1000 for the tires. If you want somthing less aggressive Pep Boys has a tire called the Definity Dakota. I have had two sets of these(my Jeep and my Screw). They held up pretty well. As far as price they have a deal where you but 3 tires and you get the fourth tire free. I think they run about $160 each but not sure. If you want the coopers PM me and I can tell you where you can get a heck of a deal on them but you would have to drive to Waco Tx to get them. Good Luck. |

Those prices are actually pretty high. You can get level kits off ebay shipped starting at $69. I installed mine by myself in a little over an hour. I wouldn't pay someone else to do it. You could put anywhere from 285/70/17's all the way up to 315/70/17's on it.
