After the problems with my prior setup, here is my solution:

Toyos MT 35x13x20 with Jesse James 20x9 and Fabtech 4.5 lift

What was wrong with the previous setup, and what did you fix?

I thought you had a problem with the wheels, or they werent able to balance the tires or something?

The wheels and tires look nice. My question is about the lift.
Do you like the Fabtech lift? I noticed that the rear looks low compared to the front. I'm very much considering that exact lift, except using 2" blocks in the rear and slightly longer shocks. Is this a lift kit you would recommend?

That looks friggin radical.

It's a So Cal thing...

I like it. I think the desert-style look is killer. Wish I could have it on mine.

4x4not Excelent fit and finish lift, 2 enthusiastic thumbs up.
About the looks:
In the pictures and when you look at the truck, the front seems to be just a little higher than the back, in reality the back is 1" taller than the front.

I had a bet with my wife about being able to put the truck back in our 7' entrance garage after the lift. Well...to my surprise the front cleared the entrance by 1.5" and the rear by 0.5". So I mesure the canope (Snugtop) to see if that was the difference, nope same high front and back.
I will post pics of the lift.

Here in San Diego you see a lot of Fords with the "pre-runner" look. Makes about as much sense as sagging trousers,another popular trend. Eddy's truck came out fine.

The Fabtech kit just uses blocks. 1" blocks for the 4.5" kit. I will be using 2" blocks on mine.

Looks sweet,

I like the tires.

Totally true about the so cal thing.... those guys love that squatted rear end look. Always amazes me when i drive through there. I believe its a take off of the desert race look. a lot of those true desert race rigs setup extra sag in the rear. The street guys do it for the look a lot, but often times over do it.

The worst arethe pismo/glamis sand guys,, they put a good soft off road suspension on their tow rigs, so that they can play in dunes with those as well as the toys, but when you gook up a 40 foot goosneck fully loaded toy hauler they squat out really bad.
