Hey - just noticed your setup - looks real good! Did you have any issues with the rims coming close to the brakes? Hope it went well - again - looks great.

Thanks for all the info. You've been a great help and given me some relief. Once the truck is done will post pic with our 20 ft. bike hauler we use to get to bike weeks that we use as chase truck. That is the one reasons with not going big on the lift. Try to keep it modest for MPG and other state vehicle laws on wheel/tires extending from the body. Trust me, wanted to go 3" to 6" susp and 3" body for monster look. I'll be checking back to see any additional upgrades on your truck. Again, thank you and be safe. Sweet truck by the way.

I looked at your wheel on rimzoneonline. If there is an issue I think it could be taken care of pretty easy if need be. Good luck with it and I think those rims will look great on your truck and with the backspace should tuck in nicely.

No problem with helping out.
1. The initial rubbing was very slight. It was due to the design of my rims. There are many people on this forum who run backspacing 6" or more. I ordered all 4 rims and was willing to pay a restock fee if there was an issue where they would not work. I was initially concerned with the tire rubbing on the upper control arm. I am not familiar with you rim and dont want to guess how it will fit. Fixing my rubbing issue was extremely minor - I cant stress that enough. I did not have to grind the whole seam off the casting. I could have ground a 1/4" horizontal strip at the point of contact and it would have cleared it up. When the wheels were mounted they still turned. Only reason it was noticed it rubbed a shiny spot on the caliper housing.

2 - From researching on this forum before - the only balljoint issues I have read were from putting 3" leveling kits on- not 2.5". I have no issues but my truck is low mileage. Even if I do it is still far cheaper to replace balljoints than paying for a lift kit.

3 - Not sure on mileage loss. I did this work without ever driving my truck on the highway as I am working in LA. I took a trip home to Missouri and averaged 15.5mpg and drove at least 75mph. I left with 700 miles on my truck and put another 3500 on roundtrip. That was my first time I could check my mileage.

4 - No surprises. I had to trim the front bumper lower plastic with the tire/wheel combo I put on. I knew I had to do this from what others have posted here. Will try to have pics of that up tomorrow night. Minor thing to do with a razor knife.

5 - No other issues except my speedometer is off about 4mph. I am getting the hypertech programmer to clear this up and it will give me 3 different tune options. My tires clear the UCA fine, my truck rides better, and couldn't be happier with the changes.

Advice - I dont know where you got your rims. Most places will let you return them as long as a tire has not been mounted on them. As I said before - try one rim out for fitment. Personally I think it will be fine - but that is my opinion. I will look up your rims here in a bit and see how things look and will leave you a message.

Wondering if you could help with info. I ordered Gear Alloy 715 Recoils for my 2007 4x4 F150 and they have the same back space of 6.18" with 30mm Offset and will have 305/55/20 Nitto. Truck is getting a 3" Readylift on front and 3" Readylift blocks on back. With seeing your postings I now have concerns.
1) How bad did yours rub the calipers and any other clearance problems?
2) Are you having any problems with the front Balljoints?
3) How much did your MPG go down with new tire and wheel combo?
4) Is there any other problems that have come up since installing the lift, wheels and tires?
Any insight would be of great help.Thanks in advance.
