What's going on everyone? I just bought a new to me 2015 3.5 ecoboost 4X4 and love it. I drive a 2013 at work and I've put that truck through hell and back so I decided to get one for the family.

My truck came with Raptor wheels and tires and looks pretty badass, but i'm not sure about how if handles with the 315 70 17 tires. I'm already thinking about upgrading the shocks to smooth out the ride, but I'm not a mechanic.

Anyways, I look forward to learning a bunch from this site and contributing when I can. Again, just for reference, not a great picture.

Not the best pic, but you get the idea.

Sounds in pretty good set up already, congrats! New shocks should give a good difference in riding.

I posted a few pics. So my truck had 14K miles when I bought it a few month ago and 18K now. I love the looks and the ground clearance that the Raptor wheels give it, but I think I need to look into a suspension upgrade. It has a much rougher ride than my work truck. I did a little looking around today and was wondering if anybody can let me know if there is a huge difference in ride between the 5100's and the Fox coil spring/shock set ups? other than the $$$?
