Recently bought a used 2017 fx4 Crew cab that has been leveled by the previous owner. It has 305/55/20 Terra grapplers on it right now. I am looking into some wheels and tires and I’m trying to figure out clearances. What size leveling kit does this truck appear to have? Would 35’s with a reasonable offset be possible without crash bar adjustment?

 

I'd put my monry on 2". You'll have serious rubbing issues with a 35/12.50. I'd consider a 285/75-18. They spec 34.8 x 11.4.

 

Thanks, I am definitely planning on going to 18”s. You think 2” in the rear too? I’m not sure how much the ranch hand affects it if at all.

 

How about a close up of the strut hat and strut mounting bucket?

 

 

looks like a 2.5-3" strut spacer and an aftermarket control arm up front and a 3" block in the rear. The 305's are over 12" wide now... so, if you do not have rubbing now you can go from there. Nice looking truck !

 

Yeah thats 3" at least upfront. The one pic the top of the strut is silver and the other pic the bottom is black. Weird.

 

Also that is an aftermarket upper control arm (grease zerk) , so thats a nice sign that its a decent lift.

 

Thank you! Yes I definitely don't have any rubbing with these wheels and tires. So if i chose a 12" wide tire on 18's what offset would be recommended to continue not to rub? I like the look of my truck now but I would like a little more poke but dont necessarily need any wider of a tire.

 

Great info, I had no idea. Does anything else look aftermarket? Are front control arms usually the only other thing that needs to be upgraded for long term reliability on these leveling kits? Ride quality up front is fine but I would like to upgrade the back shocks to help with wobble and rear end bounce going over speedbumps and potholes.
