If you brought it to me and I couldn't figure it out driving it, I would put it on the hoist and support the front lower control arms to mimic ride height and have some one sit in the truck and run it thru the gears while I was under it with my stethoscope.

gonna take it to Firestone on Tuesday, they’re gonna look at the sway bars and ball joints. Don’t trust Ford cause last time I had an issue they blamed the angle my level was causing and the actual issue was a freaking bolt that needed tightening -.-

Must be a Ford thing. I was chasing a brake issue on my wife’s Edge and even paid for the extended inspection after a brake bleed didn’t really fix the situation. The dealer is the only one that ever touched it. They quoted a hydraulic unit replacement for the ABS for $2100. I took it to the Lincoln dealer for a second opinion and the Ford dealer had somehow installed the pads improperly so they didn't sit properly in the caliper. At this point I decided to have them re bleed the brakes because I no longer trusted Ford’s work. All good now. Lincoln must get a better training program under the Ford corporate umbrella.

I don’t know if your dealer is like mine but if it isn’t stock or beyond an oil change and tire rotation you’re better off going elsewhere.

Any wheel spacers on there ? Looks awesome !

I have the same truck. I love the rims, but wish they had a little more offset.

2017 STX 3.5 4WD with a full 36 gallon tank. Hard to tell in photos, but still has about a 3/4" to 1" rake.
Bilstein 5100 rear
Bilstein 5100 front set at 2.1"
295/60R20 Nitto Ridge Grappler
Rough Country Series 94 20x9 with 0 offset
Flipped front crash bars and slightly trimmed rears to prevent rubbing when in reverse

Default 2018 F150 Fx4

2018 F150 fx4
Fox 2.0 leveling front and rear
2020 Raptor beadlock take offs
BFG K02 315/70r17 roughly 34.4in
Beadlock wheels +34 offset





I did not have to remove the crashbar and didn’t have to do any trimming. I definitely wouldn’t go any larger of tire but it fills out the wheel well nicely IMO. It’s mostly used for city/highway driving so I can’t speak as to how well it would do off road with this setup.
