You want to go like 22’s? I would just shackle drop it and change the rear shocks and stay on the factory 20’s.

I did this on another truck and it worked out pretty well overall. Still towed and hauled decently.

Going with taller size tires with the 3.31 gear will probably be pretty noticeable. FYI

This is my 18 with a 2.5 front strut spacer and a rear 3" block kit. Just so you have an idea of what to expect. I've ran this setup on all of my f-150s with no issues.

I have factory 18s, was planning on sticking with those for now.

I assume you mean worse mileage? How noticeable?

The bigger the more noticeable. It’s more of a mpg highway gear.

I've run a few different types of tires over the years, terra grappler included, and that is a great tire.

Yup, those are the ones I was looking at.

I ran the old Terra Grapplers (pre G2) and they sucked in snow. Otherwise they were good tires. Not sure if the G2's are better in the snow or not?

I had the pre G2 as well. I wouldn't say they were terrible in snow (at least imo) but they weren't great either. After the terra grapplers, I switched to the trail grapplers and they were quite exceptional in snow, mud and rain and they lasted me a long time. I rotated every 3-5k miles like my life depended on it though. Then i got a new F150 and ran BFG KM2's but didn't get to test them out for long as i switched to a super duty and currently running the stock Goodyear wranglers (I think). Looking for new tires for the super duty now actually.

Me too.... after the Terras, I ran Trail Grapplers on my next 2 trucks and loved them They were great in rain, snow and mud. The only downside I saw with them is they are heavy as hell,but I didn't care about weight at the time. I would've gone with them again on my new truck, but I wanted something lighter this time so I went with Duratracs.. In the size I went with the Trails weighed 76.83 lbs each and the Duratracs weigh 61 lbs each.
