Thinking about putting LT275/6520 Tires on.
Well folks in thinking about upgrading to a LT275/6520 tire which are the Goodyear All terrain adventures that I currently have. Do you guys have any rubbing while turning without a leveling kit? I do have some husky mudflaps and I hope they dont interfere with that. There are more LT tires options with that size than the 275/5520s that I currently have. I pull a camper and I figure it can be a little more stable pulling it. I've already installed airlift 2000 airbags, hellwig sway bar and bilstein 4600 shocks. I know I'll have a stiffer ride but I want to be safe pulling my camper. Let me know your opinions. Thanks.

Don't forget that going to a taller effectively makes your rear gear shorter
Changing from a 32" to 34.5" tire is like changing your 3.55 gears to 3.29's. Not a huge difference but somethin to keep in mind if you're towing. 33" tire would basically be a 3.45 |

Make sure you can reprogram the computer (Forscan being the best/easiest way) for the tire size difference.

The search function is your friend:
https://www.f150forum.com/f118/275-6...n-pics-419978/ From what I can tell, if you have a 4x2, you may see some rubbing issues requiring a bit of trimming. 4x4 seems to be OK (although I don't see anyone who has really put one under full articulation to make sure there isn't any rubbing). Personally, the 275/65R20 looks a little "stuffed" in the front end without a level. You could always throw a set of Bilstein 5100s or 6112s on, pick the front end up an inch or two, and get a better ride. That's what I'll be doing when my factory Hankooks wear out. |
