After driving around this weekend, pulling a 5k lb tractor plus trailer, etc. I'm pleasantly surprised on fuel milage. I have seen no drop (and maybe some gain) even though the tires are wider, taller, and 30lbs heavier!
My last 3 trucks I've used 315/70/17 tire size, on Raptor wheels. On this one I changed that setup to 17X9 +20 Vision Manx Overlands, with the same size tire.
All have ridden very nice with that size sidewall, the tires are also load range C. I don't remember if I ever posted any photos in the thread so I'll post this latest one.
I am liking the tow clevises. Any closer pics and where did you get them? Sweet looking truck.

Thank you! Here's a link to the D rings, you reuse our OEM bolts. Worse part is getting the "grommet" around the hoops off. I used a 3' prybar, stuck it under the hoop and into the grommet, and used the hoop as a fulcrum, popped them right out, but destroys them. https://www.roughcountry.com/ford-to...68920&sid=52P4
Just got my 2020 where I want it. Bilstein's all around with the fronts at 2.1
18x9 +18 Ultra Apocalypse wheels and 305/65x18 Nitto Terra GrappleGrappler G2s
That looks great. It fills out the wheel wells just right. Any rub?
Glad it turned out for you, really looks great, more proof OEM wheels can look good. How's the clearance between the UCA and sidewall?
Finally climbed under and looked. Its CLOSE, but no rub. My guess would be less than 1/2" clearance. Maybe around 3/8". I cant fit a finger between the tire and the UCA but it doesnt rub.

That's not too bad then. When I was interested in a Ranger, I checked that out with the thought of wider tires, IIRC, I couldn't get an index finger between the tire and UCA either, and it was bone stock.
Just added the Bilstein 5100's. Was able to fit 305/55/20 without any rubbing.
Assuming the wheels are 20x9 +1? I have a 2" RC spacer and trying to decide between 305/55 and 285/60 for my next tires, currently 275/60. Leaning towards the 305/55 due to the weight. Also thought about taking out the level, dropping the rear a couple inches and going back to street tires, but feel the F150 just looks better leveled or lifted.

I looked into the 305/55s as well. I figured I wouldn't be happy with 33's. Plus, on stock wheels I figured they may be really close to the upper control arm. I then looked into the 285/60 and the tire guy told me 295/60 was more common, and he offered them at the same price. a 295/60R20 is basically a 34x11.50. That's actually printed on my Ridge Grapplers as well. I was worried about the weight too but that 10-speed handles it well. I could tell I went up in size but barely, I can tell it more so when braking. I'm happy with them though. And for what it's worth, I also have a 2" level, no rubbing with stock wheels (20x8.5, 44mm offset).

JC: Correct. Thought about the +18 but decided to be a little more aggressive.
