Looking for opinions.
I have a 2020 F150 Lariat 2.7 2x4 and looking to get bigger tires. Was wondering about the feasability of using the 4x4 Bilstein 5100's on front and back and adding the OEM Ford rear blocks. Don't want anything crazy, but would like the little extra height with the rear block. I have a Westin grille guard so that might tame the extra height I get with the 4x4 5100's instead of the 2x4.

Would a 295x70x18 work with this setup?

Thanks

I think 275/70 tires on 18 in. wheels have the best tire sidewall to rim diameter ratio for looks on most wheels . The 285/75 and 295/70 sizes look too donut like and just not quite right.

yea these are 34's. Seems like a good size so far. 33's are a little too small imo

Default Rear lowering kit level; questions.

I have a 2020 122” 4x4 regular cab shorty. I want to drop the rear to level it without lifting but also possibly do a shock and strut change. My question being can I make my suspension softer? Would UCA swap be beneficial? I find my truck is too rough in the city, I cant have a paper cup coffee in the cup holder if I hit a bump it goes everywhere.

thanks for any response or input.

Are those the 9” wide +1 offset or the 10” wide -18 offset? I’ve looked at the Rebels because because I like the aggressive concave spoke design and was leaning toward the -18, but if those are the less aggressive offset and have that pronounced of a spoke curve, then I could not worry about the fit and rubbing issues and go with a taller tire.

theyre the 20x10 -18, the concave spokes is why i went with this size/offset. I definately wouldnt go any bigger tire size with these without a actual lift tho
