Need some advice and ideas
I have a 2014 f150 looking to install some more off road looking tires and rims, and level it out and also add some hieght.
I need some recommendations.

I don't want tires that make a lot of highway noise
Don't want to go high where I have problems parking in public garages, under 7'
I'm thinking a 3" lift?

I also tow a 7,000 lbs travel trailer, almost a 1,000 lb tounge weight
I have stock 20's
145" wheel base
3.5l ecoboost
20.8.5j. Stock
P275/55R20

Just did my 09 platinum today. Bilstein 5100s fit these bf Goodrich ta ko2s which are a shade over 34. Still quite yet aggressive

Sweet....
What size rims and tires are on your truck
How much lift did you get after your install?

DPlum15

I had the stock 20" rims. Went with 275/60/20. Got right at 2 1/4" with bilstein. Wanted to set them at 1.5 But had rubbing issues,

I have the same tires(275-60-20) as DPLUM15 actually installed last Friday. To me they look awesome and aggressive but with that there is more road noise. So far I notice it's louder around 35-45 mph then gets quieter the faster you go.Ive been on a highway a little bit and they ride nice and the noise wasn't a deal breaker unless you want total quietness. I'm still getting use to them but just by putting on new wheels and tires and a level my truck looks totally different now. Also they are heavier so I'm noticing a small hit on mpg so far maybe 1-2 mph that's a guess. I haven't been able to get a good reading yet haven't drove on highway long enough.

Set up looks good,
What size leveling kit did you put on?

Sugadog

I honestly just told the place that i had it all done that i wanted a 2" front level,but i think it may be a 2.5" cause when i look up Rough Country leveling kit for a 2012 Ford F 150 fx4,it always brings up a 2.5". it was $99.95 on my invoice plus labor..i think this may be the one but dont hold me to it. http://www.roughcountry.com/ford-lev...t-kit-568.html i think you would need the part#569 kit??..

what gear ratio do guys have?


My concern is that I only have 3.31, not sure if I could get 33" tires without losing a lot of power

Sugadog

I have the 3.73 gears. I'm not sure how the 3.31 would handle bigger tires especially when towing

Fbcoach

3.31 SHOULDN'T be too bad with 33s. You definitely shouldn't go any larger than that though.
