Great looking build! You're right the 33's do look a little small in the wells 35's should be a great change without too much cutting! What kind of off-road driving are you going to be doing?
Thank you! Stage3 definitely was a motivator to finally get my F150 and start a build.
I will be taking the truck out to the Hollister Hills on some weekends, then eventually plan on venturing out to camp at Usal Beach, Coyote Flat, and Eagle Lake. When I'm more comfortable (and if I think the 157" wheelbase can do it...), hopefully trails like Laurel Lakes.
Your desert runner build makes me super interested in some higher speed desert running too, but have no idea where around here (Bay Area, CA) I could do that.
I have thought about spreading, but will eventually replace the front bumper so the crash bars will have to get trimmed anyways. The wheels are a 0 offset.
Got the 35s on and... no cutting/trimming/spreading of any kind. We thrashed it pretty hard and had no rubbing at all, even hitting some soft hills/bumps at speed in a turn. The sway bars in the front probably are keeping it from articulating too much to rub, but for now, leaving it as is until seeing how it does on the trails.
