Default 2024 Mod Help & Compatibility

I picked up my 2024 STX Supercab 5.0 last week. I’m a first-time F150 owner. After driving this thing for a week I feel I’ve been missing out.

I’m eager to install some upgrades but most of the website, including Ford, have barely updated or carry anything to reflect compatibility with a 2024. I know there were only some minor changes but I’m not familiar with where they might matter or not. So here are a few questions I have if anyone can get me started:

The Ford Performance Blistein shocks are listed as 2021-2023. Are they compatible with a 2024, does anyone know yet? Or would we usually expect Ford websites to update at some point?

Next, the stock tires on the STX are 275/60/R20 which have a size is 33”. If I upgraded to a 275/65/R20 the size is 34.1”. Would they fit without a level, or should I wait for the level? How big of a tire could fit with no rubbing, no trimming, no cutting?

That should get the convo started.

275/65/20 are 10-ply tires, hard as a rock and a tough ride. They will take a fair bite of your MPG to. What's wrong with your OEM tires?

Nitto Recons are not, work well, and improve the ride. Mileage, I didn’t notice so I can’t say either way.

I was going to say, a tires rating isn’t necessarily tied to its size. For example, many brands and popular sizes will offer both a standard rating and a high load rating. You could get a 10 ply 275/60/20 or even on smaller tires or not. You’re right though, as tires get larger most are only offered in high load. But for 33-34 and maybe could find a 35 with a standard rating.

The main issue is would a 34.1” fit I. Place of a 33”. With or without a level.

Nice, yes, this is exactly what I’m looking for, something like this. Nothing wrong with the stock tires, they are quiet and smooth ride wise, but they look like cheap balloons. To increase the stance of the truck, a little bit of height, and for more all around performance I’ll be upgrading the tires. I originally was going to go with rims too but I’m happy with the stock rims and fine with keeping them.

So far I have only found the Nitto Recon Grapplers (posted above) and the Pirelli All Terrain Scorpion Plus to offer both an SL and an E rated 275/65/20
