Yes, 1.25" spacers on all 4. BORA is the brand and should be hubcentric.
Bilsteins 5100's all around, set at the highest. 2.1" i think it is.
Stock wheels with the Ridge Grapplers in 305/45R22.
Let me know if you want pictures of anything else.
Did you need the spacers to be able to run the ridge grapplers or was that just for flush fitment?
Just picked up the relatively new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 305/45r22. Truck is stock, no level and fit perfect with the stock wheels. No rubbing, no trimming.
Really happy with them. Hardly any more noise then the stock all season Pirellis that were on before. They also do a much better job smoothing out bumps and have been great in the rain.

Found this thread while looking for a map update for my 2018 Limited which I bought used August of 2020. Had a perfectly good 2015 F-150 Lariat with 75,000 miles on it when this blue 2018 Limited started popping up in my Facebook feed. Wasn't looking for a new truck, but I'm retired Air Force and that blue caught my eye.
I thought the Navy Pier blue interior was beautiful; especially with the blue exterior. My previous truck had most of the options except for massaging seats, 4WD, trailer assist and parallel parking. However, the color and 22" wheels sold me.
Only upgrades are a BAKFlip MX4 bed cover and Ford bed extender. Love the truck. Rarely go off road and we don't get much snow down here in Georgia. I've been seeing used 2019 and 2020 Limiteds pop up for sale. I'd like the Raptor engine, but everything for sale has had the camel interior. I'm just not a fan of the lighter color. Just going to stick to my blue on blue. Get very nice compliments on the truck all the time.
Gorgeous truck with outstanding blue. If you sacrificed the darker interior for the 450 HP Raptor engine you certainly wouldn’t regret it. I switched from a large German SUV with high output engine to my F150 Limited and never looked back - ever. I posted a forum a couples years ago on the huge differences between regular and premium gas on my truck and it H.O. engine which is staggering. Check it out to see if your 2018 Limited would also benefit from substantial HP gains, although at the current gas prices, maybe wait a bit.
I was in the North Carolina mountains for a month earlier this year, in Jan, and went though 2 snowstorms, one of which we got 12-14 inches of snow. My Limited is stock with the OEM 22” rims & Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico tires. I drove in 4X4 mode thru hundreds of miles in some heavy snow and never felt the need for snow tires, never skidded, never got stuck, was a fabulous drive in the stock truck. I’m certain even if you do get snow in Georgia, your truck will easily handle it.

In the 5-6 months since you installed the new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T in 305/45r22‘s what has your experience been like? There’s a +/- 3% offset on the speedometer/ odometer, but how does this reflect on your daily driving? More power, less power? Fuel economy take a hit?
My only beef with my OEM Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico, P275/45R-22 is that they have a harsh ride. More rubber would’ve offered a bit more comfort.

I have my truck tuned so all I had to do was input the new tire size and that corrected the speedo.
Fuel economy went down less then 1mpg. Really no discernible effect.
Performance wise, I’d say handling improved. Not only is the ride smoother, I’d say with the increased contact patch handling has improved as well.
If you look at the tire size on the new limiteds, it’s still 275 but they bumped the ratio from 45 to 50 which is the exact same diameter and sidewall thickness as these. Clearly even Ford realized the stock side wall was too little on these model years.
