Haha nice. They've only been in production for a few weeks. Maybe we'll be the first two F150's with these on. What tires did you go with?

I did 295/70/18 st maxx on a 1.5" level and no rubbing. I'd like them to stick out more, but then I'd have some clearance issues

Oh man... I can't wait to get my tires on now. I wonder if I could have gotten away with going one setting down from the top on my Bilstein 5100's. At top perch my truck seems to be a little nose high.

I got my rims and tires installed today. I must say at first looking at the tires I thought for sure they would rub! But nope zero rub! I still cut the front plastic part of the bumper because it was very close. Pics are right after install so a little dirty but I couldn't wait.

Looks good. How much level do you have? Are those +18 offset, and how about a head on shot to see if they are flush with the fenders

I can hear a hum at low speeds around 25/35mph. I haven't yet it the highway with them but it's not that loud. Obvious difference from stuck tires but not a complaint on the sound. I do notice the truck is a little bumpy and rides rough when at full lock making turns in parking lots for example.. Smooth everywhere else. Truck feels more impact on potholes but I attribute that to the heavier weight and load range of the tires.
