Nice rig! Even has the pecan leather! I am actually going to need tires soon and I saw your truck with 275x60 and that's when I decided that was what I am going with.

The 275x60x20's are getting to be a common size tire. They are available in P or LT ratings also if you need a little heavier duty tire. Being 33x11 they fit at stock height on a 4x4 with no problems.

Apologies for tire questions on this thread (but it's for my plat). When I replace tires I plan to up-size without a level/lift. Your truck looks great - is it leveled? Also, do you think 275/65/20 would fit on a stock FX4? Curious about the max size w/o rub.

On a stock 4x4 a 275x60x20 (33x11) will fit easily. A 285x60x20 (33.5x 11.5) may fit and the 275x65x20 may rub slightly under certain conditions on your '16. My truck is leveled 1-1/2 inches using the Bilstein 5100 shocks. Thanks for the compliment!

Finally got new tires and leveled out my 2013 after 47k miles on the stock Bridgestones. Went with the 2.5" Rough Country level and 275/65/20 BFG KO2's. Hypertech speedometer calibrator arrived today as well. I have some rubbing on the front mudflaps when turning in reverse so I have some trimming to do.

I love the look and I am very impressed with how quiet these tires are.

Hey gang! Recently sold my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for my 2013 F150 Platinum. Definitely happy with my decision! Enjoy:

Just traded my 12 Lariat 5.0 with 86k miles for this 10 platinum max tow with 42k miles. Love the nav, wish it wasn't 150 bucks to update the maps but maybe in a few months after I've done brakes, tonneau cover, and a few other odds and ends. Can't wait till spring to take the camper out and enjoy those tow mirrors!

Well after many weeks of a sour taste in my mouth about some new coilovers and a rear block swapped TWICE, I've finally gotten the Ghost's height dialed in. Rides wonderfully.

Thanks PawPaw, that process was an efff'ing headache. Glad to be done with it, and that company. I wish I could have recorded that conversation.
