2013 Ford F250 Super Duty 6.7 diesel crew cab FX4 white with Tan... only thing I have done is put in WeatherTech mats... everything else is stock

What is the largest tire size that will fit on this truck?

Grills, bed covers, what is the best accessory you have put on your truck??

Toolbox or bedcover


I have a Bakflip G2 on my truck

I like the retractable covers if they aren't binding up

Small leveling kit and tires IMO

Tool box or nice tonneau would be as much as I would do.

You can clear 35's with little to no rubbing on the front when turning. Throw on a leveling kit and you'll clear them no problem.

I put a set of the power running boards on mine and like them.

My dad had one of the retractable bed covers, I liked it but you end up loosing about 10-12" of bed space.

you will look like someone trying to hide something with a tint and the wind deflectors just make you look like a smoker. Combine those together and the cops will think you are smoking pot.

If you put bigger tires on it, I would remove the 5 inch tall lower valance and replace it with one from a 2WD model that is on 2.5" tall. Makes a world of difference in the stance of the truck. I don't know why Ford didn't do this...

4" lift with 37"x14" tires. After removing lower valance and before putting 2WD valance back on.

2 in the front and 1/4 in the back will clear 37's. I'm currently running 35's from my old f-150, throwing on 37's once I'm done with these

tires is probably first on the list when the stock ones wear down... 35s would be huge i bet.. how much does a leveling kit cost?

You can do it yourself for less than $100, I did my 4" for $375.00.

With my leveling kit I'm starting to think 35's were too small. The leveling kits don't cost much. I have the 2.5" Ready Lift spacers on the front and their +1" blocks on the rear and the track bar relocation bracket. I want to say it was around $400. I may go with 37's next time around.


ETA: I also added Billstien 5100 shocks all around and found I got about another .75"-1" height from the shocks, not that I was expecting that. The 35's look small now.




ETA2: This is before the Bilstien shocks

I've been looking for bed covers as well. Want something that is easily removable to for larger hauls but waterproof for some protected storage on rainy days.

I've looke at the Tonneaus (sp?) and just looked at the bakflip. For people who have experience with these, what do you recommend? Any favorites?

I liked the Roll N Lock my dad had on his. Easily retractable and was waterproof. My only issue was that you loose about 10-12" of space in the bed.
