Stock 04 FX4 4wd, is a leveling kit needed to run this size? I would like to run them without a level kit if possible

My search yielded yes and no...can someone please clarify

 

They will fit, that calculates out to a ~33 x 11.

 

Did you get those tires on yet? I have the same year truck and am also thinking about running the 275/70/18. Would be interested in any pics of the tires. Any clearance issues?

 

I'm going with the same size. Leveling kit is on order, but would like to see if it fits without.

 

Hi you don't need a leveling kit to fit that size, I have the toyo mt's on a stock 2007 fit fine.

 

I had an 04 FX4 and had 305/55/20 terra grapplers and did not have a leveling kit. They will fit just fine.

 

You can easily run 275/70-18's on a 2004-2008 without any issues. I've put over 97K miles on my 07 with this size without any contact, even with the plow.

 

Here are some pictures of my 2004 FX4 with 275/70-18 BFG AT TA KO's and 2" AS level:

 

Here is mine bfg 275/70/18 at ko with no level. Also took picture of old tire next to new. Called bf goodrich and got recomended tire pressure base on my old tires rugged trail 275/65/18 useing the 32psi on door plate. BFG recomended 50psi .

 

I have an 05 fx4 with 3.73 gears. I plan on upgrading to this size, will I notice a change in fuel economy? Also how much off will my speedo be? Should I plan on recalculating?

 

I recalculated mine via a Gryphon programmer, wasn't too far off though, maybe 4-5 kph. I ran my 275/70/18 BFG At's for about 2 months before I got my level kit, I had no issues with rubbing, I just liked the look of a leveled truck.
