Did you keep the crash bars? I've about to install a 2.5 front and a 2" block on the rear (I tow a lot). Is there a rub? I've see videos about 35s, but scanning this site, 34.4 is about the biggest without a lift

 

great look for truck

 

Just finished installing the HaloLifts Boss Aluma Mountain Pkg (minus the blocks) this past weekend and the front end went from 37" to 40.50"! If my calculations are correct from my "Math for Marines" class I gained 3.50", way more than I was expecting or wanted. Eve at HaloLifts said the coils come set at 2.5" - 2.75" so I'm wondering how much settling I can expect and how long it will take. I was going to go out for a healthy drive today to help it along before I decide if the 2.25" block I received will be correct. Then once that is done I can get the new tires. Planning to keep the original OEM 20" rims for now.

 

You might see it settle at most .25” I’ve had mine on almost 2 years and when I first installed they lifted it 3” so I adjusted the collar ~7 turns and it’s sitting at 2.25” and hasn’t moved.

 

Such a drag, every step of this has been a hassle, first was 5 weeks of unnotified delays from Stage 3 before I just ordered wheels and tires elsewhere, then I ended up with a black wheel in a bronze labeled box (dropshipped from Icon), then a dinged wheel (also dropshipped from Icon), and then the Eibach lift blocks I added after installing the Fox coilover kit include U bolts that are incorrectly sized. The inner width of the U bolt is too narrow, so they don't seat on the lift blocks correctly, so that they aren't long enough. Even with the included washers excluded from the install, the U bolts don't even reach the end of the nuts. Had to remove everything and go back to stock. Super excited to deal with their service dept. At least it looks good overall and the 1/2-3/4" rear squat isn't too terribly noticeable in the meantime.
Eibach Lift Block U-Bolts are Too Short

285/70r/17 Falken WildPeak AT3's (I think I got that all right, the size is good at least) on Icon Vector 6. The wheel boxes were originally labeled "Brass Satin" which seems more applicable, but that was modified with "Bronze" stickers. They are indeed as light as they looked online, which I was originally disappointed in, but have grown to really like. When I opened them up on the front porch with the setting sun just dipping below the horizon, the color looked gunmetal. Further scrutiny inside caused further confusion as the warm color temp of the lights seemed to be casting the gunmetal grey a slightly bronze color? They do indeed look pretty sharp, though.
For searchers, it's a 2019 Ingot Silver Supercab with the Fox Stage 1 package. The additional weight of the shell seems to be enough to sag the rear just enough to be not level, and bother me.

 

That sounds like all the fun of the fair, time for some rear wheel arch liners now

 

lol, I like how you put it, will have to remember that. I haven't been too drawn to them yet but will have to keep an eye out for them to see how I feel. I do think I'll be getting some Husky mud flaps soon though, pretty messy with the new tires.

 

nice rig. really like the cap. ive got similar truck, '15 scab ingot. been looking for a topper like that for quite some time, only seen a color match twice in 2+ years and missed both. i'm too cheap to buy new or spend money to paint one. but man yours looks great, may rethink having one painted if i can find the right used one, even in an off color.

 

thanks for the kind words. It's actually white, just happens to blend in really well in the gloomy day. I didn't want to wait to get new, or pay the price really. This has some nice upgrades, included Yakima cross bars up top, and is in pretty good condition. It wasn't a super deal, still quite abit more than the last few I've bought used over the years, but it's what the market demanded. I do intend to paint it, but will wait for the weather to warm up a bit.

 

I just added Bilstein 5100s front and rear to my 2018 F150 3.5 XLT. I went back and forth about what setting for the fronts. I ended up setting at the third notch (1.25) to maintain some rake for towing. I also added LT275/70/18 Cooper Discoverer ATP IIs. I'm happy with my decision to go with the 1.25 for the fronts as I don't think I would have been able to park in the garage.
The front measurement went from 36.75 before 5100s and the larger tires to 38.75 for those curious.
The rear is now at 40.75. I failed to get a before rear measurement.
Only drove about 100 miles so I don't have a good report about gas mileage yet. Towing update will have to wait until spring when we pull the trailer out of storage.
All in all, I am very happy with the improvement in ride quality and the look of the truck.
Thanks to all who contribute info on this forum.
