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).

I have 20x9 +1 Fuel Tech so I know the 295/60 won't work without some cutting and trimming.

Gotcha. I thought about 1.5" spacers, but that would likely cause some rubbing. Maybe in the future I'll throw some aftermarket wheels on it. But I do like my stockers.

I'm hoping you post a review of how these have been riding, and what your thoughts are so far.

I went with the highest setting on my 5100's and still have about 1" rake.

I went with the highest setting and I have just under 1/2 inch of rake. I believe the 2nd highest setting should give you what you want.

I did the same thing and ended up with 1" rake the other way (1"higher in the front). Had to add a 3" block in the rear to get about 1" rake.

It really depends on the year model, package, engine, etc. Mine is a 2019 xlt FX4 2.7L

Hi,
could you please suggest a full 2.5 inch lift kit (front 2.5 and real 2.5 inch including the rear shock).
I would like to leave the exact geometry of the car by lifting the exact 2.5 inch in the rear and the exact 2.5 infront.
Need something on the budget under 400 or even if it is possible 300 Canadian dollars.
Model 2020 F-150 XLT, supercrew cab, 5.5 bed.
What exactly do I need for it?
Thank you
