I put spacers on based on another guy who ran this setup. It looks like I need them. It may only be a 1/4" gap.

Looks great! As far as looks go, that's the perfect stance, IMHO.

As I mentioned in the other thread, they look awesome! Have you taken any tape measurements to see what they size out to be with the truck weight at your PSI level?

Darren,

Tires measure out at 33 3/4" x 12" at 50psi.

I find the truck rides better. Stiffer but not too stiff. The steering is more responsive, not sure if this is just being the brand new tread or the tires overall.

Here are new pictures.

That looks GREAT! I have been playing with the idea of getting some 17x9s or 17x8s and going 315/70-17 ish on mine. I'm thinking of sticking to the stock 20"s and going with Goodyear DuraTrac 275/65-20, or maybe 285/65-20.

^ this.

Are there any drawbacks to spacers? I think I remember reading something a long time ago about extra stress on ball joints and front end components, but that conversation was about mustangs, not F150's.

Don't go with the 275/65. I would be willing to bet you'd be disappointed versus the 285/65 or 295/60 as the 275/65 would be too skinny.

Just your standard 1/4" Aluminum spacers.

This is all opininon based. If you go bigger than a 1/4" on spacers, go with adapters. 1/4" you won't notice any difference or noticeable increased wear on parts. Adapters, are no different than running a wheel with greater offset as long as you go with wheel centric and hubcentric spacers.
