F150 Supercab 5.0 Sport
2.5" motofab leveling kit (actual 2.5" lift)
285/65/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on Fuel Beast 20 x 9 +20 offset rims.
No rubbing on fender liners or stock crash bars. With no load, height from ground to fender lip, 41" on front, 41.5" on rear. I wanted a flush look, and this wheel combo worked perfectly. Actual tire diameter is 34.8" x 11.5". Probably going to add a 1" block to rear, though I don't tow and rarely carry a load in the bed.

How do you like the Ridge Grapplers? I've always run BFG AT's but with 20" wheels you start to run out of size options so I started looking at Nitto recently. Are they fairly quiet as claimed? Any winter weather experience?

BFG AT KO2's 285/65/R20
No trimming, no rubbing, stock crash bars
I originally ran with stock upper control arms but realized that I only got 1-1/8" of down-travel in the front suspension. I upgraded to the ICON upper control arms which increased down-travel to 2-1/4".
On mostly level ground, tire pressure at 36 psi, and with the bedslide and cap in-place, I measured 40" to the front fender lip, 42" to the rear fender lip. (take those with a grain of salt though)
They were a lot quieter than I even expected! Definitely quieter than the Hankook OEM's.. No winter experience with these yet, though I ran a the Nitto Terra Grappler on my previous truck, and they worked fine. IMO the 285/65/20 is the perfect size in this tire.
Ha! That's my "toy truck". It's a 1976 J10 long-bed, 360 ci V8, 4-spd manual, with a 4" BDS lift and 33x10.5 BFG ATs. The original owners "restored" it in the '90's (by adding lots of body filler and paint on top of rust) but some of the rust is coming back through if you look a little closer. She runs and drives really well though, even after sitting for weeks at a time.
I've always had a thing for the full-size Jeeps so when I found this one on Craigslist I couldn't pass it up. I drove it pretty regularly to do truck-stuff when my real daily driver was a VW Golf but since I've moved up to the King Ranch it takes more of a special occasion to get me in the old truck.

Thanks. I was looking at Ruby Red and Lightning Blue Mustangs, The LB fell in my lap and had all the options I wanted however, so when it came time to replace my truck went RR. What color Mustang you have?
