2016 SCrew with 2" level lift on 285/65-20 BFG A/T K02's

I always see people asking what certain tires look like on a truck so I thought I'd post a picture of my truck with the new lift and tires I had put on.

Looks really good. I had the 275/60/20 KO2's put on mine. I thought about going bigger but did not want to loose a lot of torque or mpg. Notice any difference in your power yet?

ab46501,
While I just had the tires put on this past Monday, I haven't noticed any changes in how the truck drives during my normal driving. In trying to save some money on gas I don't typically try to drive it very aggressively. I did take it out on a highway and I stepped on it on the on-ramp. It seemed to zip up to speed as expected. I know in the 1/4 mile it will be a little slower with the larger tires because of the added weight and diameter. But in normal driving it seems fine to me. I haven't been able to go out and test highway miles per gallon yet.

I had my stock tires for about 4500 miles. The only difference I really noticed on mine after switching was when towing my utility trailer with an ATV that the downshift on the highway from 6 to 5 occurred a little more often.

I do like the look of your tires though. I might go bigger next time around.

I love the look of your truck with the new tires and level. I have the same rims so I think I'll go with the same size tire when its time. Do you have any rubbing? Did you get an alignment and your speedo re-calibrated?

I think I'm going to try the Rancho quicklifts to level mine out.

Thank you for the compliment!
I had my local 4 Wheel Parts store install the leveling lift as well as align the front end. I also had them install the new BFG's. There is no rubbing that I can tell with the new tires.
I purchased the HyperTech Speedometer Calibrator from SuperTruck USA who is a supporting vendor of F150Online. I PM'd them and they got me a great price on the calibrator. I used the calibrator to get the speedometer pretty close to my Garmin GPS and phone GPS speeds. I may be a 0.5 to 1mph under the actual speed.
I thought about the Rancho quicklifts but then decided I didn't want to spend the additional money.
