I've been waiting for a shard of glass to shred through a sidewall so I can finally get my 7in lift on 35s.

Default 2.25 Readylift 35x12.50x20

Here's my truck that I completed the work today..

I installed a Readylift 2.25 front leveling then threw on Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5x20 on stock Lariat Wheels.
Surprisingly, no mods required. Don't get me wrong it's tight !! At full lock, the tires rub slightly on the frame. Does not even touch crash bars.
I have maybe a 1/16"-1/8" clearance with my UCAs, they don't rub but I ordered a set of 1/4" spacers to be on the safe side.

Anyone run same setup ?

I'll start by powder coating the wheels to black, might look to change them in the spring, what offset could i go to ?

Cheers !

Pics to come when the icons come

I have a 2018 Limited in silver. I ordered a Icon 2.5” with resi front and back, Deaver +1 ( or I should maybe say plus 3...) and a set of Cali Offroad Busted matte black on Nitto RG. Pretty excited to see how this rides. It’s my first Ford but I’m happy so far.

What percentage of ride quality will I loose if I put those front Icons at 2.5” height ? I was really wanting to keep them stock height but now with the New read springs I’m worried it will be to racked out. Most I want is about a 1.5” rake

thanks for all the great info here everyone. It’s been a pleasure so sort through all the posts.

None, that is where they are designed to run. I have icons no res at 2.5 ride is 10Xs better than stock. Now that they have settled in I have a slight rake so with your +1 in the back should be just what you are looking for.[/left]

Runner baords

Bilstien struts
Just installed bilstien shocks on all 4 corners. Took about 4 hours added 2.1” lift to the front looks great I’m happy with it. Added some runner boards to finish it off. Not too bad. I’ll eventually get new tires but I think it looks good like it is. I’ve got to get the alignment tomorrow but it rides great. Seems more planted

Last night before the hurricane/tropical storm hit our area I removed the 2" rough country leveling spacers and installed the Blistein 5100 shocks on all four corners. In my opinion anyone who is looking to level their truck spend the extra money on the Blisteins it's well worth it. Now given I've only put about 10 miles on the truck since the install, but the truck rides so much better. The 2" spacers made my truck's ride way to stiff, I do not like the spacers at all. Just my opinion.
