I have a 2008 F250 FX4 and am looking at buying:

Icon Leveling Kit
18x9 rims (going to be powder coated black)
35" Mickey Thompson ATZ Radial tires

1) Our wheel lug pattern is 8x170 right?

2) How are people dealing with the TPMS? Does it work with the new tires? Is it programmable for the tire pressure needed in the new tires? Or do I just put all 4 sensors in the spare tire?

3) How do I get the speedometer reprogrammed for the larger tires?

4) I bought every light available from Recon, but it was for my 03 F350, and I traded in my 03 for the 08 before it was delivered (impulse buy ) . Their website says that the 03 tail lights and reverse light will fit the 08... is this true? Has anybody replaced them yet? Obviously I need to get different side view mirror lights.

5) Has anybody installed an auxiliary diesel tank in the 2008s? If so how did you get by the computer tripping a code?

I think that is it. I have tried to do a search but could not find definitive answers on these questions.

I can answer one of the five. I am newly back to Fords from GM. You have two options on getting your speedo reprogramed for the new tire size, Dealer, mine did mine for free or a tuner with this capability. Hope this helps. Chris
