What are those? They look AWESOME! What kind of a lift do you have on there? Looking to do something very similar.

I have pro comp wheels but I am running the exact same specs, just wanted to add that I strongly suggest these offset settings and tire sizes!

Yea now that they r on I believe I could have went with a -12 but I played it safe and went with your advice of -6. But either I'm am very pleased with them and it really gives my truck the look I was going for and that's the Beast Mode.
Nest Saturday I'm getting the front 2 windows tinted same darkness as the factory rear.
And I'm getting a decal made that says BEAST
In grey or dark grey to put on the passenger side windshield going down sideways along the A Pillar.
Basically like yours..
YEE YEE

Sexy trucks y'all! All I did was nothing besides drive the rig around and enjoy every minute of it. Next thing to buy for it is a better head unit, not being able to listen to my music is annoying when there's nothing on the radio...

IMO, this is the best rack to get for full size and rear to sunroof, it's a Yakima megawarrior with one extension, north he basket and extension are on Yakima.com but best prices are prolly amazon

And here's a really stupid question... the offset is in the design of the wheel, right? You can order a wheel with different offsets?

Sweet ride! Looks amazing! Something for me to aspire to!

Did you change gearing after installing the 35's? Or is that not really necessary?
Its still stock gearing.
The only thing that I can really say is now it kinda struggles going up long hills on the highway. I find myself turning off overdrive more often noe to maintain speed .
But other than that it handling is better than when it was stock

Yupp, so the offset is backspacing measurement of the wheel itself, different wheels come in many different sizes and "offsets"

I also like your running boards... seem sleeker than stock. What are those?
I believe they are Westin boards, they're like a tubular "Harley" style step but they sit very close to the body the way the previous owner mounted them

Haven't installed them yet so this may not count... but I did ORDER a few things for my Expedition to start the transformation. New springs and top mounts, Bilstein shocks/struts, and a steel bumper from WAM. I need to order the lift so that I can do them all at the same time.
