DJM 3/5. I don't think you'll fit 26's. No need for lighter springs up front. In my 06 f250 2wd I lowered I had to install f350 front springs to stop it from rubbing. Even then they still rubbed.

On my '06 I ran 305/60/18's at one point then switched to 295/45/20's. Both sets rubbed. Both the sets had incorrect offset too lol.

Do you know any sizes that won't rub? I don't wanna have to deal with cutting out a bunch of stuff from the wheel well.

As long as your tire is no bigger then 32" overall and your rims are close to stock offset you'll be ok.

Thanks for the info man. I got one more question for you; what is the best brand of rims that you have found?

Honestly I couldn't answer that as good as some others on PSA. I just try to find a rim that suits what style I'm looking for despite brand names most times.

Yeah I'm not looking for brand name stuff exactly. I'm just looking for a set of black rims with silver accents that fits my 8 lug pattern and the weight of my truck. What do you have on your 6.0? Sorry for the continuous questions by the way, I'm just in a but of a rut.

That's why we come here is to ask and have answered questions. It's all good man.

I had rock stars. Now I'm running dubs on my '09. Biggest thing is to make sure you have proper back spacing as well as load capacity. Other then that pick a 8 lug wheel and enjoy.

BMF and Fuel are two that come to mind with a lot of black wheels with machined accents. Eagle might be another one. American Force makes a hell of a wheel, but it comes with a hell of a price tag too.

That's a nice looking truck. What size rims and tires are you running? And is the DJM 3inch/5inch drop kit a good investment in your opinion?

I'm pretty sure you could get away with 26s

Djm 3/5 is what I was going to do..

Then eventually bags . ( lay frame)

That's what I'm thinking. I might go with 22s and have a little more meat on my tires.

Mine has the DJM 3/5 drop with 305/40r22s. It rubs the front fenders every once in awhile when I hit a big bump but other than that it is fine. I have air bags on the back and have pulleda 5th wheel 800 miles round trip with it.
