So the biggest reason I pushed to get 305/55R20 tires is because I knew I wanted Ridge Grapplers. The 305s are not LT tires or load range “E”. Why does this matter? Because LT tires on a 1/2 ton truck are pointless unless you are towing a seriously heavy load. Plus they ride rough compared to non LT tires. And they are around 13-14 lbs lighter than LT295, which is always good. Who likes power loss?
This is my 3rd 2015+ F150 but the first that is 4wd. I thought it rode rough and bumpy stock compared to my XLT 2wd models. With the Fox suspension I actually feel it rides better. You can feel the road more but overall it’s a smoother ride and way more planted. I just got back home from a 350 mile round trip. I’m incredibly pleased.
these Ridge Grapplers are the bees knees. They are more aggressive than my Terra Grapplers but not as noisy. Plus they have better wet and dry handling.
I can’t speak for anyone else’s truck but if you are considering this setup I say go for it. No rubbing here at all. The owner of Alpha Customs kinda gave me that “I told ya so” look. I constantly questioned him over this setup and whether or not they would rub while driving on daily pavement.

I think that tire sticks out just the perfect amount! Nice looking setup!
Yeah, it really is perfect. I was hoping for a little more "poke", but the next size out would have been -18 offset. That would have been a little close with rubbing. The zero offset stick out just enough to see about an 1.5" of tire in rear view mirror.
F-150 fox "tuned by ford performance" off-road suspension leveling kit
Took delivery of my 2019 Ford F-150 SuperCrew XLT 302A FX4 with 5.0 and 3.73's today! Had Bob Utter Ford (Sherman, TX) install the new Tuned by Ford Performance Fox Leveling Kit. They charged $1311 for the kit and $475 for installation. I know I could have saved around about $250 if I had just done the Fox Leveling Kit (instead of the one that is "Tuned" by Ford Performance and I doubt there is really much of a difference but I figured I would give it a try).
When parked on Level Ground is pretty level (maybe 1/4" of Forward Rake). I'll get better pictures tomorrow after I hit Discount Tire for some BFG All-Terrains in 285/65R20.
I got some 285/65R20 BFG All Terrains installed this morning!

That looks great man! You didn't waste anytime putting on new tires haha. At least you won't feel the slight power loss, you didn't have the truck stock long enough to compare!
that was the plan. Got it with 3.73s to help prevent some of the felt power loss. Swapped tires at 260 miles and all of those were the 4 hour drive home from the dealer.
nothing to compare the power loss to. Also since dealer did the Coilover install I really don’t have anything to compare ride quality too either.

So I’m looking into spacers, I don’t want to have my tires stick out very far, as I sit now I’m barely past flush. Do any of you know if half inch coyote spacers cause rubbing? I have KMC XD 842 Snares, 18 mm offset, running BFG KO2 305-55R20’s, at full lock I’m close to rubbing on back crash bar, but not touching. 2” level on 2016.

look at my post just a few up on this page. You shouldn’t have any problems rubbing with 18mm offset. I’m 0 offset on 305/55R20 and don’t rub
