The factory silver sport wheels will be my winter setup witha set of 2" hub centric spacers. Here's some pics on it's way to alignment with them on:
Nice truck!
Mine will be modified only next spring.
I will also keep my stock wheels for winter. I was thinking of installing spacers to eliminate the tucked look, but in Quebec there is so much salt and
rocks on the highway that I'm scared to sandblast the paint.
BTW, MCC Auto is close to my work place. (boul St-Jean).
I am wanting to add the air bags with my 4" lift. Did you need any extra/ different hardware to be able to mount the riderite air bags?
P.S. sorry for digging up an old thread, I just could not find the info I have been looking for. Thank you in advance!
Wow, hadn't been on in a while and just noticed this post.
They bolted on like lego. Didn't even have to cut the factory wheel liners. No extra hardware, no nothing. The longest part was figuring out where to hide the compressor switch and gauge. It's in the glove box now and you'd be hard pressed to find any trace of this system on the truck.

I hear ya about the winters here in Montreal. I'm running 2" spacers to keep the truck from looking like a CN Rail vehicle. Seems to be working well.
Steve at MCC is a friend of mine who let me use his lift to do the job. Really nice bunch of guys over there. I wouldn't hesitate for a minute to bring my truck there for work.
I must admit, its not life threatening... maybe just wife threatening. Her threatening me that is!!
So I finally took delivery of my new 2016 F150 Lariat SCrew FX4. By far the nicest truck I've ever owned... to date. Then I went ahead and did this to it:
I really think I need help with this problem. The truck had a grand total of 60 miles on it. I had barely driven the thing.

After:
I really need to give a special thanks to member: DWSmoot
He went above and beyond measuring his truck and giving me plenty of data to get the tire and rim combo just the way I wanted.
Specs:
2016 Lariat SCrew, Fx4, 5.0, Sport
20X9 Fuel Hostage +1mm
35X12.5R20 Toyo Open Country R/T
4" ZONE lift kit
Bushwacker Pocket Style Fenders
Morimoto XB LED fogs
Raptor Style Grille with LED's & FORD letter pack
BAK MX4 Tonneau Cover
Solid Lower Bumper Grill
PlastiDipped Logos
HyperTec Speedo Calibrator
2" Hub Centric Wheels spacers (for OE wheels with winter tires)
Firestone RideRite Airbags & On Board Compressor (not installed yet)
As of today, I have approximately 1400 miles on it. Coming from a 2011 FX4, this truck is WAY quieter. Drives ridiculously smooth even with the lift. The moonroof is HUGE. The fuel economy seems a little better than the previous 5.0, but that might just be my imagination.
I will be looking into the gas pedal vibration fix as it is FREAKING me out feeling like the front end is going to fall out of the truck (only while touching the gas pedal I might add) & the cooling seat fix as I pretty much only get cool air from the seat bottom but nothing on the back.
So far, I'd rate this truck a solid 9/10.
I know I'm not the only one with this PROBLEM... just wanted to share as admitting the problem is half the battle!!
Hey! Great looking truck! I wanted to ask you about the power difference going to 35's? I have the same model truck, live in Colorado, and also have a travel trailer that I take up in the mountains. I would love to get 35's but our trailer weighs about 8500# and I was concerned about still having the power to get through the mountains. Does your truck still pull your trailer easily with the larger tires? Thanks for your help!
