no rubbing or trimming, inch or more room at full turn

 

 

56ecoboot - do you know what your Wheel offset is? Truck looks great with that wheel/tire combo.

 

-19 Offset and I would say you might be able to squeeze a 285/60 or other 33" height tire and not trim a thing. These 285/55 are 32.5"
I wanted a decent stance without having to buy a 12.5" width tire that weighs 70 pounds.
Thank you, I spent a lot of time going back on forth on wheels and the offset! I literally spent weeks going back and forth while my truck was being built.
I originally wasnt going to go with a Negative offset wheel because i wanted to make sure I got a big enough tire and still not rub. MY crash bars are intact and staying there.

HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE ROOM IN FRONT OF AND BEHIND THE WHEEL

 

So I have a question. I went ahead and bought Bilstein 5100's during one of the 15% off sales ebay was having. I had originally planned on doing the full 2" front lift, but there was someone on here who said he did the full lift and hated the stiff ride. So I guess my question is, is it really that bad? Would it be better at 1.5"? My old Ranger had cranked torsion bars and rode super stiff in the front, and I don't want to go back to that.

 

I did the 1.76 because I was concerned about the same thing. However the ride is a bit more firm, but very close to stock on 1.76 setting. When I got new E rated tires and 22's now I'm riding a lot more harsh, but I'll take the looks and its not that bad.

 

Shouldn't have a problem with a 295/60 in there at 34"

 

I went with 1.75" setting and couldn't be happier. I think the truck rides better than stock (both over bumps and handling corners). The Bilstein shocks dampen better and aren't anymore "rough" riding than the stock shocks IMO. Unless you plan on lifting the rear (because I only have about a half inch of rake now, I definitely think the shocks lifted me more than 1.75", could be because I'm 2wd with the 2.7l) the 1.75 is the way to go for almost dead nuts level.

 

I got my new 2018 F150 XLT 4x4 last week, thought I'd be able to wait until next year before getting into some real mods but I am looking at putting in a levelling kit upfront and maybe a block in the back. I have a line on some stock Raptor 17" wheels with the 315/70R17 tires. If I go with something like the ReadyLift 2.25" Kit in the front should that give me enough clearance ? I've read through most of this thread and others I am believe they should but if there is another direction I should go I am all ears?

 

Oh i think youll have a problem with that size tire and a -19 offset wheel, unless you want to cut/modifly your crash bars...
