Hello. I have a 2008 Supercrew FX4 with the factory 20" wheels and LS2 tires. I want to buy some black Raptor 17" wheels and use the General Grabber 33x12.5R17LT tires. My question is will they fit or do I need a leveling kit? My truck has 85,000 hi-way miles and In very nice shape. I do need to buy some new shocks and struts but I am going to wait to buy them until I know if I need the front kit. I was looking at the Bielstien shock kit for about $500. Any thoughts? Hank you for your information.

 

The raptor wheels with 33s will fit with stock without a leveling kit. The beilstien shocks are great and you can adjust them to level out the truck. Also, look at the rancho quicklift struts. They are about half the price of the bielstiens and you can adjust the settings to get a softer or stiffer ride.

 

Thanks for the info. I didn't know I could just bolt on and go.

 

You can fit those tires fine. That's essentially what I was running (296/70/17 on Raptor wheels) before I installed the Bilsteins and had no rub.

I know nothing about the Rancho, but the Bilsteins are just a touch stiff for my taste, but I'd rather have that than too soft.

 

Thank you. I am going to buy them.
