Looks good.
I would go 33X12-50R18 but you can also go 33X12-50R20 and get a package deal pretty cheap. I.E. Wheels and tires.

I personally don't like my tires and wheels sticking way out so we are running a +25 offset

Remember + offset sucks in and - pushes out

I really like my 275/60R20... These tires are 33" tall...

I do not go off road enough to go with 33x10.5... The 12.5 or wider are great if you want tires to float on deep mud or sand. Otherwise they are just heavier tires...

I love the way this looks! Stance, wheel/tire size, chrome wheels compliment the rest of the chrome on the truck but it's not too much.

Did you just do the key's and spacer lift? How is the ride quality with that setup and wheels and tires?

Thanks and in that picture all was done was Ford keys but probably could have gotten away with stock keys because didn't have to crank much at all. And not too long ago had 1 inch spacer put in the rear. Ride is great. Every once in a while I'll hit a decent size pothole and it gets a little shaky but not bad at sll

I got my keys and spacer installed about a week ago. The ride was crap when I had stock shocks. I installed the front extenders and rides much better. But you can still feel it a bit stiff and bouncy. Did you guys install extenders in the back, or went with new shocks?

I'm running a 305-55-20 with ZERO rub even at full turn. Makes me think I could gone bigger :hmmm2:

is that a body lift too? seems awfully high to be just spacers and keys...

No other lift. Just the keys and spring spacers. I don't have those step rails on the side either. Makes it seem a bit highter without them maybe???

My current plan is to do keys and spacers and run 285's on 18's. Selfishly, I'm rooting for you to do it first so I can see what it looks like.
