You won't go wrong putting some blue thread locker on them, i'd say do it.

Good stuff! Still waiting on my 5100 fronts. Next week will be 60 days since I ordered! Hoping they come in the next 2 weeks. New wheels and tires are sitting in the garage

When did you place your order and receive the kit?

Read alot over the years on here. Just sharing my latest buy and build. King Ranch with 2" Rough Country level, Fuel 18" wheels and Nitto Terra Grapplers (285/65). Very happy with the look and it's what I did on my last truck. Trying to decide if I'm done. If I need calibrator or anything to adjust for power and shift points. Got the big Ecoboost and 3.55 gears - if anyone has similar experience. Or I just leave it. Cheers

NO rubbing anywhere, even in reverse at full lock. Loving the new look and can't wait for the new SCT tuner to get here today so I can re-program the tire size.



Everything stock. P275/65r18 with stock suspension.

P275/65r18 stock tires with Bilstein struts at 2.1. Stock rear block.

LT285/75r18 with Bilsteins at 2.1. stock rear block.
After driving around several days it turns out I do have some rubbing going on when in reverse, and steering wheel turned fully to left. Not sure why, but so far I haven't gotten any rub when backing with full right steering turn. Removed the front mud flaps and wasn't able to reproduce the rubbing on my driveway curb like I did before removing the flaps. Will drive it for a couple days to make sure the rubbing is gone.

If that's the case, hoping I can trim and keep the flap. It's the Weathertech no drill flaps, just in case anyone has already been through this exercise.

Looks great with those wheels, did they come like that, they match very well. Like that brick on your house too.

Yup! I was running them on my 2014 prior to this, I wanted something different than just the plain black wheels.

Thanks, didn't know those existed. Agree on the black wheels, mine are very close to Magnetic.
