Hey guys I've noticed that when I put my truck in drive an just let of the brake it has a hard time rolling and if I turn the wheel it just won't move at all.... I have 20 inch kmc hoss rims with 33 in toyo OPen country tires...

Trucks a 5.4 fx4 screw with 3:73 gear ratio

Any ideas?

Anything at all?

Did it just start doing this before or after the lift and tires, what kind of maintenance has been done, etc?

Well see I've always noticed that my truck doesn't have that quick of a gety-up an to be honest i cant remember how my truck was with the stock rims and 31s but i guess it never got my attention like it has now...

now I know it's a truck not a car but I have an 03 expedition 5.4 that is really responsive and gets up quick

It's had a new throttle body put on... And oil change I've been having that cam phaser ticking noise off and on but dealership won't fix it for me ... Well the extended warranty that is...

Now this weekend I plan to install my RIZE 8 in suspension and 37s so I can just image how that's gonna be ...

But I guess my question is .... Is it normal for the truck to be slow when off the break sometimes it won't even move if there is a slight incline... And is it the rims fault

If everything seems to be running properly it's probably just the rims and tires. Definitely look into gears to go along with the 37's.

better get some good gears and bad***** suspenion parts for 20 inch rims and 38s... or consider a straight axle them 20s will chew ur front end a new one with 38s

I figured RIZE is as pretty bad***** as it gets when it comes to an 8" suspension

Sounds like gears.. Definitely upgrade gears soon.

Yeah just didn't think the 20s and 33s would phase the truck that much ... Defiantly changing gears soon don't worry just saving up $$$$
