Hey guys new to the forum and happy to be here. Just bought a new 2016 XL 5.0 Screw after 2 frustrating years with a Chevy Colorado.
My new truck has 3.31 gears and 20" wheels. I was thinking of upgrading from the current 275/55/20's to a 275/65/20. I am also planning on adding a 2" level but was hoping some of you guys could let me know your thoughts if this tire would be too big for the 3.31 gears. I do not tow and really dont plan on it. Also this truck will stay on the road 99% of the time. Any help would be appreciated.
Did you change your tires? I'm exactly in the same situation, and I don't know if a regear is needed. I have a '17 F150 supercrew 4x4 3.5 Ecoboost with a 10 speed trany. I lifeted the truck with a 2.5" leveling kit and want to run the 275/65/R20 Cooper disoverer STT pro. Do anybody knows if a regear to a 4.10 or 4.56 ratio needed for this truck?

At the time I ended up going with 285/70/17 Rigde Grapplers. You could feel a difference with hesitation but with the Ecoboost you might be a little better off. I actually just traded that F150 last weekend for a F250 and loving it so far!
I had 3.31’s and went to 34.4” tires and a 2.5” level kit. I felt a huge difference on the highway and ended up putting 4.10’s in and couldn’t be happier. I do a lot of highway driving at 75-80mph and am now turning about 2200 rpms at 80 and getting 18MPG. I do have the 3.5 so YMMV.
Buddy of mine just had his done in the Denver CO area. Took a month of searching just to find a shop that would do it. Cost him just a hair over $4k for both axles but
he loves the difference in power when towing his TT.
