Ok, maybe this will help... I'd really like to get started on this asap, but need a little input first as this is my first truck and I'm here to get advice/help etc.

Will this work on my 2015 F-150 XLT 3.5 ecoboost Sport 4x4 5.5' bed truck with 275/65/18 with measuring from level ground to fender....front height from ground by tire 37.5", 40.5 rear height from ground by tire? Anyone?

Bump..C'mon guys, I really could use the help here while I still have the funds....the wife and Christmas is making it more difficult by the day to save... :/

That's a 34.6" tire. You'll have to get a level to fit that wheel and tire combo. A 2.5" Level with spacers, or Rancho Quicklifts/Bilstein 5100s will fit that combo no problem. You MIGHT have to trim your lower bumper plastic slightly to accommodate for the wider and taller tire, plus the offset of the wheel.

Thanks for the reply fbcoach. Since that leveling kit is 2.25, what would be the max size down tire from the ones I have picked out that would work with my setup? Or, any good reputable 2.5 leveling kits to where I could keep these size tires? I only found 2.25" leveling kits in this brand for my particular truck. I haven't really looked at others. I'll definitely have to have a mechanic do this work for me unfortunately.

By the way, are you meaning shocks instead of leveling kits would work the same? I'm assuming shocks since "Rancho" to me is shocks.

As far as the offset, I picked it thinking it will make the tires stick out a little more from inside the wheelwell. .is that correct on what the negative offset does? There weren't many options with those wheels for offset, so I picked the -12

Thanks

Ok i've went back to the 'drawing board'. How does this sound..

Keeping with same wheels as mentioned.

You'd be able to fit with Quicklift or Bilstein. And you'd probably be alright with 2.25", as well. And you are correct about the negative offset.

Defcon1

Are you meaning I would be "alright" with the 2,25 lift I have linked OR the 2 shocks that have may have a 2.25 lift? Sorry to sound like a real noob, but this is a whole new world for me.

Checking out the Rancho's they did not have a 'lift/level shock' listed for my truck. I'm not sure what would be interchangeable, so I backed out when it just went up to 2014.

I have spoken to a person at Tirerack.com and they said with the rough country 2.5 lift, the Ballistic wheels I hav listed and BFG AT KO2's 305/55/20 using a -12 offset 4.5 backspace, that those should be fine as they are in the 33" category.

Do you or anyone have any thought's as how that setup would look ( personal opinions of course) and or see anything 'wrong/not correct' with that info?

Thanks

Fbcoach

That set up with 33s would look good. All good about sounding like a noob. I believe that the 14s and 15s are interchangeable, but I'm not sure. Talk to @stage3motorsports. They may have a good set up for you, regarding coilovers. With a 2.5" rough country level you'll clear anything up to 35s.

I went to Fisher Tires in my area and they are not sure but with my rough country 2,5 leveling kit and BFG KO2 305/55/20 with an offset of 18 up to 25 would "probably work".

This being a 2015 it seems most haven't really had to do any tire changing etc. I'd hate to have any 'trimming' done to the plastic inside the wheel well area (front of wheel and or back) but the person said they could do it without it looking bad or it stand out to the 'untrained eye'.

My mechanic said in his opinion adding coilovers can be a pain having to adjust them "a lot".

I even stopped by the dealership and they were not even sure...they said there could be a little rubbing with full turns, but wouldn't know until they were on there....but did say they should be fine otherwise.

Think I'll head to a 4X4 only shop and get those guys opinion. Hard doing this with companies online as they all have different advice on what offset, tire size, lift etc etc that would work for my truck.
