Hey there. Came across your truck while researching tires and wheels. Anyway I love your setup. I have a 2013 FX4 in Grey. I ordered the Addicts but I'm stuck on the tires.
Can I ask what brand and size tires you're running? Trimming required?
I'm getting the 2" AS level up front only. Do you have a lift in the rear?

I want exactly your stance as I haul dirt bikes and so on. Perfectly level would likely cause it to squat.

Thanks

Hey kws.....thanks for the compliment!

I had the XD Addicts on my '09 FX4 and I really liked those wheels too. Good choice!

On my Platinum with the 295 Trails, I had to trim about an inch off the painted fender inside the wheel well behind the tire, and also had to trim some of the front air dam on both sides. My shop used a dremel and then cleaned up the burrs with an exacto knife so it looks really clean and can't even tell.

I kept the stock shocks so the ride is basically the same since the leveling system really does not change any of the stock geometry (just make sure you get your front end re-aligned after you install the AS). The only noticeable difference is the mass of the larger tires as turn in feel is a little more sluggish as is initial acceleration (a lot more is needed to get all that extra mass moving) but it rides fine!

Thanks again and good luck on yours. Post some pics when you're done!

No major issues, during slow speed on a flat surface and fully cranked to the right there is no rubbing, but fully cranked to the left the is some slight rubbing. So when off roading over bumps you want to avoid full crank in any direction.. For regular city/highway driving there is no rubbing.. Unless parking fully crank to the left.. lol

I have Bilsteins 5100 all around with them stock in the rear and adjusted in the front to the max 2.25". It looks close to rubbing but even with it cranked and going off curbs or speed bump no rub so good so far.
