Hello All
I just purchased a (new to me) 2016 F-150 2.7 ecoboost. And I am going to lift it and install larger tires. My local shop is suggesting a 6" procomp lift and 295/60/20 tire package which is 34" tall and 11.5 wide. Question is has anybody done this combo? I can't seem to find any pictures with this setup anywhere. I'm worried that the tires may look too small for the Lift?
Any pics or advise and opinions on this is greatly appreciated.
I am running 20x9 +1 on 275/60 20, so really 33x11.5. 2\" level in the front then added 3" block in the rear. 6in would make your tires look really small imo.
Just remember to check your clearance for whichever wheels you have or plan to run. Sure you can clear 35’s all day on a 6” lift but when you start messing around with wheel offset that’s where things can get tricky with rubbing.
I have been looking for that same size set up 295/60/20 Tires on a F-150 Lariat 6” Pro Comp Lift! I just had a 6” Pro Comp Lift Installed on my 2016 F-150 Lariat 4WD and a set of 35” Nitto Extreme Grapplers! The look is awesome a lot of people have asked about the set up. The Dealer installed and Pro Comp assures the 6” Lift will fit up to 35” tires with no issues. It drives great & the only place it hits is when turning into a dip the back side tire hits inside the rear wheel well even with partial cut out. A 35” tire will take a big hit on gas mileage and power loss which I don’t like but it’s the sacrifice you make if going to a 35” tire. I asked about 33’s but most say they look small on a truck with 6” lift! The Ford accessories tech suggested going with a 295/60/20 set up that’s close to a 34” tire that it looks good and may work better for me but I’ve not been able to find a pic of that setup. I’m thinking of trying a Nitto Ridge or Trail Grappler next in 295/60/20 don’t think BFG has any 295s I know they do have 285s . Since I went with these 35s I love the tires but my honest opinion is they are to big for F-150 even with a 6” lift though they fit the wheel wells nicely. I was jogging to go with a 4” Pro Comp lift and it also said will allow 35s but I don’t believe it because they barely fit in my 6” Pro Comp Lift! I had to buy a set of Fuel 20x10 -18 OS Rims to run my 35,s. The Rims are amazing and catch the eyes! I don’t know if my Tires are bigger than most 35s because they are the Nitto Extreme Grapplers which do have Giant Mud **** on them but I doubt many will like them on the HWY they are loud! I’m wanting to find a F150 set up with 6” Lift that has a set of 295/60/20 MTs or ATs and get there opinion on how it drives before I decide to go with those.. Any advice would be appreciate. I’ll enclose a photo of my 2016 Lariat 6” Pro Comp Lift with those Nitto 35s... 2016 F150 Lariat 4WD with 6” Pro Comp Lift & 20x10 Fuel Rims/ Nitto 35” Extreme Mud Grapplers!

34s and 35s are practically identical in diameter. Look up actual measurements and you'll see.
But those sizes are best all around with a 4 inch lift in my opinion.
Well I realize they are close but it does make a difference it adds up to over 8 “ of tire difference considering all 4. Mass = Resistance! I would not recommend 35s on a 4” Lift even though I realize a lot do it. That’s each persons choice though.

I wonder if you took the bull bar off, if you’d still rub? That think looks like it weighs every bit of 250lbs. That would definitely cause some front end squat.
