Been a while since I’ve been on here. Running a 2” level, 20x9 Fuel wheels with a +12 offset. These 275/65/R20 BFG KO2s have since been worn out and need replacing. Looking to move to a different tire in 285/60 or preferably a 285/65R20.
Am I going to be running into rubbing issues having the stock mudflaps installed or rubbing on the crash bars?
I’d like to get a wider tire for beefier look width wise. And I’m ok with some slight rub on the mud flaps because I could always massage/trim a little bit off if I had to. Prefer to keep them on as to not have as much debris kicked up down the side of the truck.
Much help is much appreciated
I think the 285/60s wouldnt rub at all. Its a little shorter and a little wider than your current tires so i think if you have an inch clear now you should be fine.

Without looking up the diameter of your present tires, I think you'd be safe in staying with that diameter, and go a bit wider. Have to be careful with thatat +12 offset, but it's certainly doable.
BTW, like what you did with the front end, seems I know a couple others that have done the same.

^^thanks mate. Yeah I really like that cover for the bumper opening. Wanted something that wasn’t chrome or looked bulky. Going to look in the spring, once this snow melts, and see what I can do to make it fit and get rid of the piece of plastic behind it. I’d like some way of keeping it there but adding a single row light bar behind it. I’ve also removed the lower air dam since that photo was taken…looks so much better without it.

2018 F150 XLT 2" RC Level w Raptor Wheels & BF Goodrich KO2 315/70/R17
Personally the best setup for a F150 in my opinion. Also rubbing is minimal and only at full lock.
Finally got my set up
If y'all have any questions don' stock shot 285/65/20 +44 offset bolt change to black compared to stock
t hesitate to ask. Yes its 295/60/20 Ridge grapplers with Venomrex VR601 with +12 offset. NO rubbing, NO cutting, No crash bar expansion. Its on FOX 2.0 leveling kit.
Finally finished my HaloLift install, tire installation and alignment. It has a 1" rake which is barely noticable.
The lift kits are a little misleading in that HaloLift says they are a 1"-3" lift but if you talk to Elka Suspenstion (the manufacturer) they point out that there are different coils for the kits. One offers 0"-2" and the other is 2"-3". Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

You sure that's a 1" rake? If anything it looks like it's 1" nose high.

Definitely an optical illusion, tape measure doesn't lie. Once the coils settle in I can also easliy adjust them, which is a benefit of the HaloLift system.
Eibach Pro front shocks installed Friday. Paid $350 for local lift shop to install and align. Had the shocks set at 1.4” but got almost 2” of lift. Not complaining entirely as I figured I’d get more than 1.4” but anticipate them settling some so anywhere between 1.4”-2” I’ll be happy with. I’m sitting 3/4” taller in the rear still, if I don’t settle any I may put a taller block in the rear.
They ride great. More firm and planted but not rough or stiff. Also, I have 285/60/20 Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs as well
Man this looks good. I have the same color combo Lariat though with the chrome bumpers. This makes me start to like mine again haha
