Ok guys, My front struts should be in next week after waiting almost 4 weeks, went with the Ranchos quick strut.
next question looking to add a taller tire or to fill the well a bit more, as of right now I have the stock size 275/55/20 what the biggest I can go with out any rub or any mods the the body
If you're using your OEM +44 offset wheels, I can't help you. But, I have used Raptor +34 offset, and 315/70/17 tires on mine, with those same coilovers, actually, on two trucks. I stepped up to 17X9 +20 wheels, and it all still worked, but I thought it was just too close for me. I now run 305/70/17 tires, zero problem'
The 315's were 34.5" diameter, the 305's are 34".
You have to watch your offset, since I don't know what wheel you're using, I can only say what works on my truck.
Like you, I'll change things to keep from doing any trimming, bending and such, IMO, if you have to do that, your combination doesn't fit.
RC 2" Coilover level with V2 rear shocks sitting on Force Offroad 20x10 -12 F01s wrapped (top pic from the shop) 305/55r20 Sumitomo Encounter ATs. Didn't want to go with this tire setup but the shop owner pushed it, was pretty adamant against it b/c of the width and offset. Suffice to say took it back the next day and now wrapped with stock 275/60 Sumitomo's (bottom pic) and no rubbing!
I just had Bilstein 5100 installed on front and rear on my 2016 F150 4x4 at my local shop. I had 2 inches of rake to the front with the stock shocks. I had the installer set the front at 1.75" and now that I have the truck back the front is 3/4" higher then the rear. I have no idea why this is occurring. Thanks for any tips!
Did you verify that they are set in the right groove and that they were reassembled correctly? I've seen complaints on here of the spring perch being reinstalled incorrectly.

I used the 1.75 groove too and got a 2” lift. Some day I hope to go to the next lower groove.
Had a Ready Lift 2.25 kit installed on my 2020 2wd
after upgrading wheels and going up to 275/70R18s, I had some very minor rubbing when backing up and turning. None of that now, and looks so much better!
Forgive me if this is the incorrect place to post. Greetings all! After hours of researching and looking at the gallery on custom offsets to no avail, I have decided to reach out here on the forums for advise. I have a 2019 STX 4x4 Screwcab with Eibach 2" leveling struts and rears. I am realling wanting the following setup:
- A little bit of poke but nothing crazy as I do not have factory flares. Worst case scenario, I will order bushwacker OE style and have them painted.
- Fuel Rebels: 20 X 9s (Need help deciding the offset).
I really want the +1 offest (offered in +1 or +20) but I do not want to cut crash bars (I'm ok with spreading them or modifying slightly) .
Also, my truck is black. Will the anthracite color look too off or will black wheels appear "too much" .

Gearing: 3.55
Any insight is greatly appriciated!
I *think* you would want +20 as that will poke your wheels about about 1 inch whereas +1 will give you about 1.6 to 1.7 inches of poke. If you don't have flares, the latter might be too much poke. Unfortunately you said a little bit, nothing crazy, but that's all subjective, you'd need examples or some real measurements.

I just did wheels tires, with a level kit. Decided to stick with 18" wheels, as I prefer the ride/look.
Mine are Fuel Rebels in bronze. Went with the +20 offset, as I didn't want it to stick out that much. Here is what the "poke" looks like:
Tires are 275/70R18s. Had some minor rubbing when in reverse and turning sharply. Level kit stopped that. No mods needed.
