HAHAHA.. Truck looks great Ross!
My brother ALMOST got stuck like that the other day using his truck to make a cow go back inside it's fence. He had to rock it out and by the end he said his truck was top to bottom mud. It was clean within hours seeing he's a nut about his truck being perfect.

What kind of lift do you have, truck and so on? Are you just tightening the torsions? Are you sure 35's will fit, they are alot bigger than you think? 33's I'm pretty sure will fit.
I am running 285 75 16's right now, with my torsions maxed on my Z. These are basically 33's I believe. They are nitto terra grapplers I got form discount and have had no issues, and they are pretty aggressive with little road noise. The nitto's have lasted great for me, 20k miles and they still have loads of tread. I payed about 800 for all four, lifetime mount/balance, and 4 tire road hazard. Opted for no interest, payed them off in 3 months.
Price also depends on rim size.

with a leveling kit you can fit 35's fine might have slight rubbing at full tilt but not to bad id check out ntwonline.com probably the cheapest you might find or maybe 4wheelparts.com

As far as the ford and chevy factory hight thing goes I'd say the Fords are MUCH higher from the factory. Here's my 2wd (leveled) next to some newer 2500 4x4's. They both had beefy bfg tires and the black one looked like it had a leveling kit. Also, my truck next to powells 09 Z71. (Stock)
Keep in mind my f-150 is NOT that tall.

Thanks for the complements sarge! I agree body lifts are for tossers!!
Also, I do love the truck a lot, but a nice FX4 crew cab like my brothers would be sweet too.
The pics are crap I know, and they don't show half of the detail he has put into his truck. I love this thing!
