No those 35's are on 17's. I put 33" Duratracs on my Saharas 18" wheels and the cost was outrageous about $1,300 for 4 although I love the look of the bigger wheel the cost of the tires does not justify the extra 1" of wheel.

Since OP is going 35's and zero off road , just use 2" puck spacers for lift. Why spend more money on coil springs if they are not used. No need for new front drive shaft either. I hear that Duratracks are good in snow too. Once the new tires are on, turn off overdrive to keep the RPMs in the powerband. Then if not satisfied, regear.

I'm hoping that Mopar makes the fenders on "Flat-Top"- look like stock but are raised in height to clear 35's~40's.

I'm not bashing F150's (Hell, i have a 2012 F150...) but the neighbor bought an EcoBoost the same time i bought my 5.0, it's been out of commision 3 or 4 times already... (since October) intercooler replaced, boost leaks, power loss, etc etc...

That's a helluva' set-up, too. One my of my buddies has it on his 2DR and damn! It's tall! We've been trying to convince him that he needs to be running 40's under it, but he won't go any higher than 37's for some reason.
