Great...I'm on board for more Sidewall (CowBell!!).
Do you have any rubbing?
How about the Crash bars I keep reading about needing modification when Lifting/Leveling?
Did you do anything in the rear (Blocks, Shocks, etc)?
Speedometer Recalibrated?
No rubbing. The crash bars were removed by the shop that did the install. It's a 2" front level, rear untouched. Although I do want to raise the rear about an inch sometime in the near future.
I did buy the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator. Best $200 ever! I can't stand my speedometer being off.

Did they ask you if you wanted the crash bars removed instead of swapping left to right & right to left or bending?
I'll be ordering the Hypertech Speedometer Calibrator for sure.

Most shops are not going to ask if you want the crash bars swapped or bent. Unless you tell them, they will either cut or remove them since it quicker and easier. As long as you dont get crazy on the tire size or offsets you might not need to touch the crash bars.

When I was telling them what wheel and tire size I wanted to go with, they told me the crash bars would have to be removed to fit them. So I knew ahead of time. The front bars can't be removed unless you tear apart a lot of the front end, so those have to be cut. The rears were cut also, though I'm a little confused as to why? It looks to me like they could have just unbolted them, but oh well. I love my 35's!!!

Thanks...
Hope Matthew makes a dramatic shift Eastward...Please Stay safe.

The front bumper needs to be loosened to take them out. Its alot easier to just cut them. I cut mine but kept alot of the crash bar intact. I like having my legs in case of a crash.
Hahaha thanks! You're right, nobody runs 17's or even 18's anymore. It's all 20's. I like less rim, more tire. Makes for a better ride too.
I feel the same way. Never been rear fond of large wheels and rubber band tires especially on older classic vehicles. But large diameter wheels have become the norm on newer vehicles. I really would have preferred 18's but the Sport SE came with 20's. I felt there was plenty of rubber so I accepted it.
I liked the SE wheels and didn't plan on changing them but, when I saw the Mayhem Assaults, I couldn't resist. Almost went with 18's but got a good deal on the same tires that came on my truck from another member. I didn't want to break down the original wheels/tires incase I wanted to put them back on. Also didn't want to mess with different tire size, ie. speedometer calibration.
Then while on road trip I saw an used F 150 on a car lot with the 18 inch Mayhem Assaults. Wish I had gone that route now, but I'm happy with mine.

Mine with Mayhem Assaults, 20 inch
Used truck with Mayhem Assaults, 18 inch
I like your truck! I'm not a huge fan of your wheels (no offense), but I dig the overall look. Read and black is a great color combo. I'm a bit jealous, is yours the 6.5' bed? Man I wish I had that haha. Every super crew i see with the 6.5' bed, level, and bigger tires looks like an F250, LOVE it!

No offence taken, if we all liked the same thing it would be a pretty dull world.
It is a 6.5' bed. Hard to find one on the lot, so I ordered it. I leveled it with longer rear shackles.
