Hey guess what? Absolute zero rubbing while driving on street... forwards, reverse, full lock.
2019 Lariat FX4 5.0L SuperCrew
- Fox 2.0 coilovers (factory set 2”)
- 20x9 0 offset
- 305/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grappler

so many naysayers had me running in circles. Trusted a local shop that ended up matching price on every component I found online. They did no trimming or mods to the crash bars.

Looks great!! Super cool that you found a local shop to work with like that!

Your truck looks great. It looks like a similar setup to the Roush trucks.

Looks good as far as I can tell. A lock to lock shot would be nice. That has to be close, would love to see just how close..

it is close...I’ll tell you that. Maybe a half inch at full left turn. But it’s the inside crash bar it’s close to...not the front.

I’ll get some better pics up when it stops raining. I was surprised when I picked it up and saw the crash bars still intact. Owner of shop had me turn full left and right to check, then he got in and did the same so I could see.

my driveway was the real test. It’s got a big curb / bump and I back in at full lock. No rubbing and no shinny spots on crash bars.

Cool...…….Since you didn't see the installation did you ask if they spread the crash bar a little?

Good to know for people looking at that size because that might mean some tire brands / models might work while others don't. That's the real beotch about buying tires. No 2 tires are the same size and no truck sits exactly the same as the others. Too many stinking variables unfortunately.

Would love to see a side profile shot. I like my factory wheels, but I do wish they were a bit more flush to the fenders. Maybe sticking out just a smidge...

they did not. I asked before hand and they don’t suggest / offer it.

The angle of the pics makes them look like tires are not fully turned...however they are indeed.
