You should be fine. My 275/65R20's have plenty of room and I actually debated going back and getting 285/65's after seeing how much room I had, but my wallet won that battle in the end.

Default Alignment After Level - A Word to the Wise

Referring to my post here and "A word to the wise:"

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/level...5/#post6362162

I finished the leveling with a front-end check / alignment. A slight camber issue was fixed and adjusted, nothing else. I asked the mechanic how much was it and he said "Not much but enough to wear your tires." They discounted the price due to so little that had to be done. Leveling job is now complete.

Nice! From what I can find- running the stock 8.5" +44 offset wheels, should be fine. Just want a tire to fill the wheel well. Ridge Grapplers have been recommended by many members here, and several people I know personally. Hope I am as happy with them as everyone else seems to be.

Do you think 285/65/r20 KO2s would fit on a 2015 2wd with a 2" level in the front (Bilstein).with stock wheels? I'm having a hard time finding examples of 2wd with the Bilstein (or any 2" level) and that size tire...

Stock tires are 275/55/r20 with no level yet.

I've seen them on a 4wd with a 2" level on the same stock wheel that I have with stock 4wd rear blocks. They stated no rubbing or trimming needed. I just wasnt sure if it mattered with mine being a 2wd with a 2" level..here's a pic I found on here...

They are a great tire as long as you don’t need serious snow or ice traction. And I’m not talking casual winter use. Serious winter driving on steep grades can be scary with them, they aren’t soft enough or super enough for winter use.

Yeah, false alarm. Boss-lady didnt quite understand what I had in mind, she didn't approve. Im not going to war over a set of tires.

I chose the same path, we are now brothers in arms.
