2.5'' and 20'' stock wheels
 
i just bought 20'' stock ford wheels for my 06 ext fx4. i was wondering about putting an autospring in the fron and a add aleaf in the back. what is a food ads size as im going to put some biggerwheels on them. will 33's rub with a 2'' lift? also is autospring really as bad as they say for your ball joints and a-arm position?

no they aren't bad at all i have a 2.5 inch and they are fine i would get a 2.5 and some 35's :rocker: that would look bad@$$

a member here has that setup i just can't remember who??

No, 33's won't rub. You can fit a 35x12.50 if it doesn't have huge sidewall lugs like Mud Grapplers.

If your worried about the auto-spring, go with Bilsteins much better ride :thumbsup:

i dont think you can clear 35's with the bilsteins... not 100% sure though...

2.5" with 35's would look good imo ha ha

07screw,

I like the look of your setup, but I have a few questions.

1. How many MPGs did you lose when you went to the 35s?

2. Do you tow anything with your truck? If so, how much have the 35s affected your ability to tow?


Thanks,

so are bilstein? is that a block that you put on your spring like auto spring or what is it? Also im also wondering how the 35's affected your towing and mpg's

Russ47 11-08-2007 10:06 PM

bilstein is a type of shock :fyi:

1. my message center says that I am getting 12.7 but i never have done the math but with the stock tires I was getting 14.5

2. yes I tow occasionally .While towing a decent size loaded enclosed trailer
on the highway at 80 to 85 out of overdrive i get about 9 mpg .That's also three people with all of our stuff loaded down plus trailer loaded
