Putting the rivets on the wheels as well. Few other little things n then it's done. Deciding on either 295/60/20 or 35x12.50x20
Go with the 35's. I wish I would have now. Just my opinion

Really? Hearing without a regear to compensate it kills MPG and makes it a pig for speed. Not rocking a EB, which I originally planned lol

The ford dealerships here sell them with 6"lifts and 35's. ecoboost and 5.0. There are a couple guys here that have them and they all say no problem at all. Of course, you will lose a little speed and power compared to the factory 275/55/20, but that's a trade off I guess. I noticed barely any with 33's. can't wait to go to 35's.

I bought mine from the dealer that way with 3.73 gears. It isn't a huge difference. Tows well and runs great.

Lots of pre lifted ones here as well. I may just bite the bullet and go 35s then. If I need to regear I might later. I need to snag a tuner too. Shift points suck on these things stock lol
