Just ordered my 20x10 -24 Mavericks a few hours ago!
yeah I know what you mean, and hell yeah, mavericks are clean man. But I'm gonna see how it goes. And boost, I've got XD hoss right now!

I wanted the XD HOSS but couldn't get the -24 offset I wanted so I went with the Mavericks from Mr Wheel Deal. For the record I like the set up your on.

I like the Hosses, cause the Diesels, which are discontinued in 20x10 in 6x135, were my favorite for a long time and they're similar to those.

I love the Mavericks, just wish less people had them haha. I'm like the only person on the planet with my current wheels, and I've grown to love that. Still not wanting to choke down the $5500 bill to have all of this done too lol.

Good lord!! What all are you having done??
That's why part of me wants to get the fuel trophy. They're simple, and will give me a bit wider stance without going to far. I don't wanna have what everyone else has.

Just wheels, tires, and lift haha. I was gonna install it myself, but it's only a few hundred more to have someone else do it after lost over time, paying my buddy, complications, etc.

Mavericks - $1100
Trail Grapplers - $1700
Lift and install - $2500
5" lift blocks - $200

Where did you find the 5" blocks? I have a PC Stage2 setup and want the extra inch later down the road. I can imagine your rig will look sick!

I can pull the part numbers for you when I get home, but it was a giant PITA finding blocks to fit our trucks cause only the F150s have two pins on the blocks so our blocks are "special" and cost more. Then I had to track down compatible U bolts. Bought both on Amazon once I found the part numbers. It was $200 shipped for both.

I like rake, so I'm gonna get a 2.5" AAL at some point to go with it. 8" up front and 7.5" ish in the back. Wanted 6" replacement springs, but install cost too much right now (even though it's really easy and I could do it myself in an hour).
