Wandell question

I like your Supercrew! I have a 2003 F150 Supercrew 4X4 and will level with the torsion bars. I want to put 295/70/17 Terra Grapplers on it and want to be sure they won't rub if I drive through a ditch. I also drive a lot of gravel roads. Will they stick out past the fenders and throw rocks and mud down the side of the truck? Thanks

One other question. Can the speedometer be recalibrated through the computer on the 2003's or does it require changing the gear in the speedometer?

The 295's will fit.

yeah they'll fit, they will only stick out about 3/4'' farther than a stock 265.

295 is 12'' wide and 265 is 10.5'' wide.

Your speedo will only be off about 3 MPH at around 70 MPH. The factory speedo is only accurate to within +3 or -3 MPH anyway, so I would't worry about it. But if you ever get an aftermarket chip or programmer, you'll be able to fix it.

Right, and your dealer can also recalibrate the computer to correct the speedometer.

Thanks. My chief concern was the tires sticking out past the fender enough that debris will get thrown into the side of my truck.

That will depend a lot on your wheel. They won't stick out using the oem wheels.
