Did you need to trim the studs at all with the 1.25" spacers?
Looks great!
I just ordered a set, I have recess pockets on my wheels for the studs to protrude some, but I'm still 😬 nervous!
I'm going for a similar look, "factory lifted" without having that aftermarket look.
I already have a 2.5" AS spacer, Fox rear shocks and ready lift corrected angle upper control arms.
I just tried to bolt some 35x12.50 r20's on the stock sport wheels and I had some pretty generous rub on the upper front portion of the control arms at full lock.... Hence the spacers on order.

@Especial86 I have 1.25" spacers and the studs do not hit the wheel, no trimming required.

Awesome! Glad to hear that feedback!
Looks great! The stance is perfect!
Did you lock tight the bolts and or see the need to re-torque since the initial install?

No I installed them, and torqued them to spec.
Installed the wheels and torqued them to 150lbs also.
Just rotated the tires and checked them with the torque wrench and all good.

That reminds me I have to recheck the lugs, it's been almost 100 miles since rotation.

Well I'm glad I reminded you!
How's drive with spacers?
Handle a little more planted with the wider track?
Are bumps a little more violent?

I'll be sure to post some pics of my spacer job once they get here.
I'm getting antsy, I just want this 35x12.5 r20 job finished!

I did everything @ 168 miles so don't have much stock to compare it to.
But the truck seems more stable, less nose dive gong into corners, and rides a little stiffer with the E-rated tires.
I came from a Super Duty so the F-150 felt soft and spongy...….still rides much better but a little more like a truck now.
