Caution! Ford content! New D.D I recently picked up another F250 for a daily and just finished the lift wheels and tires. Still have some exterior stuff to do, but its 95% finished.
Quick run down. 12" lift, 40x14.50x24 Swamper M16's. 24x12 2 piece Fuel "Mavericks"
H&S and DPF delete exhaust, and some other junk. Waiting on my new rear blocks to get here so the *** isn't dragging...

Thanks bro. Not at the moment. My last 2 F250's had the black mesh grill in them and I wanted to do something different this go time around. I'm sure once I get tired of seeing my 40" LED light bar collect dust in the garage I'll throw a grill in it.

That rig is SICK. What gears are you running with those 40's?
Also, when you're ordering blocks for the rears, make sure you get milled steel rather than cast ones. The casted blocks crack constantly especially underneath heavy trucks. As me how I know.

I'm with ya. I run 2 truck accessory stores and we mostly sell Rough Country lifts and their kits come with fabricated anti-wrap blocks. Really cool idea and work extremely well. They are building me a set of 10" ones (they do not currently offer them) I wanted to go this route since I'm not a fan of traction bars hanging down. You wouldn't believe how well these things actually control axle wrap. The rear currently has a 2" add a leaf and their 8" blocks and still needs to come up another 2-1/2" to sit level.

Very nice truck. I'm just curious as to the price of a lift and the wheels. I'm looking to lift a 1500 and not too sure as to what's involved and what is needed. I really like the rims. Up here all you see is the cheap flat black wheels with the chrome star on the centre cap. How much those cost with tires?

You're not missing it. Its something I put together using their parts and working with their development guys. The only non Rough country piece on the truck is the Fabtech adjustable trac bar. Won't be long before you see a 10" kit on their site. I'm not sure that they will ever offer this set up in kit form.

They also only make these Fuel 2 piece wheels in a 20 inch and 22 inch. They don't make a 24 inch. I have the same wheel in a 22x12 which looks like the same wheel he has. Sounds like he likes to add a couple inches to everything he owns.

Before you try to call someone out on something, you better make damn sure you know what you are talking about.
And another
Anything else you want to call bullshit on? Want me to put a ******* tape measure on there and snap a picture also?
And again, read my reply from earlier:
