Well the lift was a success. 2 1/2 hrs on the driver side then only 20min on the passenger lol. Got a lifetime alignment plan on it now too. I love how it sits now why can't ford just build them this way for crying out loud! Can't wait to put some new meat under it.

 

Looks amazing Mann!

 

Thanks! So much happier. I'm honking about wheel spacers even though I'm not the biggest fan of them. I like the factory wheels I wanna keep the factory clean look. But I want them to be out about 1" more. Looked at the bfg 275 70s again I wish I could go up one more size but Jeeze they. Must be made of gold lol

 

I looked into those, I would go with the nitto 275/70s instead of bfg

 

Ot seems to be a toss up between the new bfg all terrains and the motto grapplers. Both seem good on and off road. The BFGs are coming back with crazy milage longevity it seems. I like the look of both the bottom seem to be more aggressive. Bfg has always done me right in the past. Maybe I'll look into the nittos as well. Depends on what I can get the best deal on unless they are both close in price.

 

Grey and chrome looks sweet! I love my KO2; best tires I've owned-

 

Looks good.

Ford doesn't build them that way due to towing and hauling purposes. The rear would be sagging with anything in the bed.

What are your measurements now? Did it put you a little nose high or dead level? Can't tell from the pic.

 

Here is a level pic. I took measurements all around. It is pretty much dead on 2" up in the front. I have 39" to front fender and 40" on rear but the front is a larger fender. Anywho I was really nervous cause when I finished the truck was actually a hair higher up front to dead level and I tow a boat a lot. Granted I do have ride right air bags on the rear that came on the truck if I ever needed them. But it settled and I had it aligned iSight after the alignment was barley off only the toe. I am extremely happy with how it's sitting. I went today and rolled some bfg 275/70/18s out and I'm gonna go that route. They will outlast the nittos and out perform them as well.that will raise the truck about 1" more. I think it should look pretty good. I would go 295/70 but can't afford them and I don't wanna loose mpg and performance even bough I have the max tow 3:73s. I'll post all the measurements in a bit.

 

Just got these in today, leveling 2.5 - 3'' and installing these 295/70/18 Friday!

 

 

Sick bro!!! Those are beastly! That's basically a 34 12.50 I think. I want the bfg 295/70 but man I would be kicking myself over the mpg loss and then I would really wanna get new wheels lol. I wanna see those babies mounted up.

 

before
driver front 37 5/16

Are you measuring from the ground to the fender? If so, the most accurate way to measure is from the center of the wheel to the fender arch. From the ground up doesn't take into account for tread wear, tire pressure etc.

 

I did both ways. The truck was parked in the same spot and checked the air as well.
Centercap to fender give or take 1/8" measuring to center of ford logo.
Before
22 3/8 driver 22 1/2 passenger
After
23 7/8 driver 24 passenger

 

I have my full set of stock 275/65/18 wheels and rims (good shape on both) with a full spare as well. I am looking to sell them to make up some cost of the new stuff I got. Is there a place on this forum to do that or?
