Rancho Quick Lift Struts. 2 3/4" Level.
Fuel Mavericks 20x9 +1mm with 305/55-20's BFG KO2's no rubbing. i gained roughly 3 1/4" in the front and 1/2" in the rear and have 1/4" of rake.

 

Can you take a pic of the decal you have on the hood? What does it say?

 

it says "Performance 5.0L"

 

Wondering if anyone could offer some advice.

I have a '16 5.0L 4x4 CCSB. Installed an Icon Stage 1 kit maybe 6 weeks ago and absolutely love how it rides now, much better than stock. It was already leveled when I bought it, so I'm unsure of how much lift it actually gave me (I think probably 2.5"). I think it may be too high for me and am contemplating removing the rear blocks and adjusting the front coilovers down to level again without the blocks. Anyone know if this would be ok to do/if it would still ride fairly similar or would I need to purchase different suspension pieces?

Thanks!

 

Looks great. How do the rancho's ride compared to stock?

 

A lot of people around here have 10 ply tires to prevent punctures. I understand most you guys live in town and car tires work just fine. Get yourself in a rural area. You're gonna change your tune. But whatever floats your goat.

 

10 ply tires have greater puncture resistance and higher capacity for heavy towing/hauling. Without question.

That being said, it's a trade off. I live in a rural area in the Appalachian mountains, but we still have these things called roads. Many are dirt, but they are roads. I've not had a puncture even with the little tires on my Honda Fit. Now, I wouldn't take it rock crawling, but it's not lost a tire on these dirt/gravel roads.

So, if you are rock crawling or truly off roading, go with the LT's. The worse fuel economy, worse on road handling, and worse braking distance will be worth it because you will have a stronger tire when off road.

In reality, I think most end up with LT's on their F150's because of size choice. There aren't a lot of options in P series tires in larger sizes. I think there's probably room in the market for someone to develop lighter, but stronger tires in larger sizes. Putting a 70lb tire on an F150 with stock brakes just isn't a smart move if you are mostly street driving around other vehicles. The stopping distance will not be pretty with the relatively small brakes combined with a near 100lb wheel tire combo.

Even my tire choice made a noticeable difference in the wrong direction when it comes to on road manners.

 

That's absurd. Even 44" Super Swampers weren't 10-ply back in the day. I know rural, bro. Grew up in rural Texas. This is just a matter of modern Super Duty/HD mall crawlers becoming the norm.

 

Lol I live in the middle of North Dakota. Still don't need LTs.

 

Amen, I grew up on 400 acres with the closest paved road 9 miles away.
