Hey guys, Just picked up a 2011 XLT Supercrew with the Ecoboost in it. Wanting to do some modifications to it. Need some suggestions for Rims. Possible fender flares if anyone has pics of their truck with some on. And a Lift kit, I dont know wether to do a level or go ahead and lift it. If anyone has suggestions on a good lift kit that wont break my wallet that would be awesome. For those of you who have ecoboost and did a lift with bigger rims/tires how much did your gas mileage go down?

Cheers

 

My truck with a 2 inch Autospring leveling kit, 33" tires and factory Lariat flares. Can easily fit 34 inch tires on if I want too. A lot less expensive then a full suspension lift which can cost up to $2000 buck's.

 

Also have a 2011 SuperCrew XLT EcoBoost 4x4; went with a 2-inch front leveling and 33s on aftermarket 20x9 wheels. The ultra wide and heavy Nitto Trail Grapplers, along with the heavier wheels conspired for a loss of about 2 mpg in City driving.

 

2" Autospring front level with 34's.

 

Man all of your trucks make me want a new one soooo bad.

 

This are some sweet looking trucks but I would prefer to lower about 2" IMO.

 

I just kind of wonder how big wheel and lift would treat the EB as far MPG and strain on the engine. I understand the EB has tons of torque and HP but your not getting it all the time unless that turbo kicks in. Just wondering

 

What size/brand of tires are those?

Thanks,

Nunya

Was geting over 16 mpg now I get 15 just over .... I have the 2011 5.0

 

If you are unsure about a full suspension just get a leveling kit. they are like 100 bucks. autospring and are super easy to install.....wheels tires can cost as much as you want to spend 1500+, then later on you can throw a 6" or something under it if you want to.

 

Go fiddle around with a lifted truck, i.e. local shop that installs. If it won't affect your use of the truck and it's not too tall for you, go with a suspension lift.
