295x70x17 i was originally told i could do 315’s...but my guy at 4wheel parts in dallas convinced me those would definitely rub and they would have to cut...I wasn’t interested in all that. These do fit perfectly. I kinda wish they stuck out a little more...so I’m thinking about wheel spacers...anyone have them? Like them? Worth it?
I think they look perfect! Wider stance because of the wheels and 1 inch wider tire than stock. Has that stocky look without being crazy. Probably close to flush or a little outside those fender flares. That is exactly what I like personally.
Lets get a front shot of your SE LED heads! Thinking about swapping in either those or the Morimoto's when they are released later.
I had the "chrome" LEDs come on the truck and swapped them with the SE ones pretty early on. A lot easier for me of course as they are plug and play, but a lot of people round here have put on the SE LEDs when they had halogens so its very possible.
The 2.7 got a breathing boost. New Magnaflow stainless Muffler. A lot of work doing it myself between the arc welder i have, and the angle grinder dieing in the middle of the project and cleaning the pipe to paint, and the paint curing process.
Stainless Magnaflow muffler. Everything was ceramic paint coated. No tip just black.
In case anyone is wondering what the inside of the OEM looks like.
Added the Ford Performance (Borla) Touring exhaust. Decided on the twin side exit. Better for towing.
Side view - exhaust looks great from this view. I'll be cleaning these tips everyday since they're welded on to the pipes and can't easily be replaced.
This is a pretty good angle showing the recent mods - towing mirrors, Fox 2.0 shocks, ReadyLift 3" block, Ridge Grapplers 275/65R20, and the Borla exhaust, which by the way has a really nice sound for the EcoBeast. Borla knows their business. Just enough sound to give the truck a little more attitude, but keep my neighbors happy in the morning. The shocks and tires are great too. Really amazed by the ride of the truck now -- so much more controlled, not as harsh as I was expecting. The Ridge Grapplers are very quiet - Nitto knows their business as well. It's lost some slight performance off the line because of the larger and heavier tires. After the warranty runs out, I'll address that with some 4.10 gears.
My dealer is going to reprogram the speedometer and check the calibration of the 360 camera setup. It looks slightly distorted since I put the tires on. I have a great relationship with these guys. I even asked about the gears, but I got the answer I expected - wait for the warranty to expire.
This is truck I wanted to drive off the lot years ago. Really enjoying it now.

Reason: Typo
Lookin' good! Can't beat that Borla with a stick. Just might go that same exit on the next truck. With the dual rear exit, that crossover to the left side is visible. I might just take care of that soon.
