Looks good for a "farm truck". I like the wheels alot, especially on that color. I'm not wild about white letter tires, but that's my only gripe! Just messin' with ya, looks way better with the wheels on it, and I liked it before!

hahahah.. cant please everyone lol:-P
i dont like black wall tires... thats why i didnt opt for the nittos. The truck was to BLACK looking, so i need something to offset the color. Besides, I knew you owuldnt like them, so I got those. HAHAHAHHA
285's from 265's are roughly 1inch taller.. my truck had 245's for some reason, so i saw 2inches of difference easy. I have to jump a lil to get inside now. So with the tires and 3inch lift thats going on, i should see a easy 4-5inches lift. Just what i want
I kinda wish I had gone with 305's for the lift, so i could have a inch wider tire.. but no biggie

oh no doubt.. you definitly know the 285's are on the truck
ill just slap the stock light rims on if I hit the 1/4th miler anytime sooner.. you can lift the stock rims and 245's up with like 3 fingers.. need 2 arms to lift the 16x8 and 285's up

Hey man I put my ford keys in over the weekend, and only cranked it enough to get about 1.5in more lift to level the front end. if you go back to that link i had earlier, theres added pics of the keys put in, and my cv angles.
as for ford keys, i dont see how they are hit or miss, they will definately increase ride height, unless you put them in wrong! about 30mins to install, and you need an alignment afterwards!

thats why im just gonna go with the body lift... by the time you get the keys, pay for them getting installed.. which would be 150 for the keys installed for me(includes keys also), then get the truck aligned i would have the about the same invested in a body lift which i know will get my 3inches all around plus wont mess with my suspension up front
there is a gap in the control arms up front or something.. the bigger the gap, the more you can get from the keys.. I only have .5inchs of gap which from what they told me wouldnt get me the height and ride I want
