Why dont you go to a ford dealer and pick up torsion adjusters for a 01 F150 it is the same thing and half the price.

Well I found these pics from a user in this forum and these are EXACTLY the wheels and lift I want for mine. Since my truck is black , I will have the spokes powder coated black and leave the polished lip.

I found out the wheel is MB Gunner 6 (20x10). Not too bad of a price at $200 a piece. But the F’in tires

325/50/20 Mickey Thompson Baja are $365 a piece!!!!

I PM’d the user asking what exact lift he has so I can duplicate 

I don't know for under $100 I would. I think i paid $76 when i bought them.

This in my truck. I had the ford key just never installed them. I just have a 3" body. I ended up selling them to my friend. They were a easy install.

You'd be an idiot not to. It's a piece of metal. I assume he was kidding, but you'd be a real dumbass to waste that much money intentionally

The only reason those tires fit his truck is cz they were bald and i still think they rubbed a lot. It would need a lot of cutting to get them to fit if they still had tread. Get smaller tires or a bigger lift.

Yep, he's lowered now for a reason.

so what size tire do i need to get w/ a 20x10 wheel? or should i just not go w/ a 20?? perhaps a 18x8.5

i see they make a 20x8.5 Gunner 6 wheel, but i think that's too narrow of a wheel and would look goofy.

sorry for the newb questions, but i'm 100% newb to the 4x4 suspension

i got underneath the truck today and cranked down the stock keys. now at least it sits pretty level :thumbsup:
