My 2015 Ruby Red F150 Lariat
Hey guys, I'm new to posting here on the forum, though I've been following now for a few months. During that time, I got some good insight and ideas for what I wanted to do on my F150. Well finally I think I got it to where I want it to be and am very happy with the results. As soon as I finish with this write up I'll post pics along with it. Well first off going from stock to a lift, I decided on going with a 6" BDS lift with the 5" block in the rear and replaced oem shocks with the Fox shox. I really liked the factory wheels and thought I'd give fitting them with 35x12.50 r20 Toyo Open Country M/T tires. With good luck they fit perfect and gave it the look I was after without having to add spacers (No rubbing at all). The only thing that has me a bit concerned is that between the knuckle and tire is a tight space. This is where I am now thinking of adding the 1.25" Bora spacers just for peace of mind. Like I said there's no rubbing and the installer said it's fine but just looks a little too close for my comfort. As far as the ride now? It's still pretty awesome. The speedo is off about 4 miles now and mpg loss is about 1.5 miles to the 16 I was getting in town. I have a SCT livewire I'm tempted to use on it but still leary with the whole warranty issue thing. Well after lift and tires, I installed the rear Husky fender guards and all 4 mud splash guards. Again no rubbing at all.

I'm new as well, I have a 15 xlt sport 2wd.....I installed Fred Goeski 1.5 adapters on my stock 20's, as I plan on adding either 285/65 or 295/60 tires soon. I get better handling with the spacers, stock ride. I've had them for about a week, I will re-torque them in about 2-3 weeks to see if they came loose or not. I also gave a RL 2.25 leveling kit and hellwig front and rear sway bars installed, they are awesome!! Big difference in handling!! Besides spray on liner and undercover cover and exhaust tip....don't plan on doing much other than tires.
