F150 tire size and level kit

[quackadikt]

Anyone have pictures of their rigs with 275 /17 or 285/17 and a leveling kit? Trying to decide what size tires to go with on my truck. Thanks.

Mine is a 2013. Have 2.75” of lift on the front with Rancho upper control arms and I have an add a leaf in the rear of mine so it is more lifted than leveled. But I run 295/70/17 on it and have room for 35s.

F150 tire size and level kit

I’m thinking of just 1.5 - 2” kit on mine. I don’t want a big lift, just a level ride and something a hair bigger than stock tires.

Bought it a few years ago for my dad's 2016 fx4 but he never used it. There are no part numbers on it but I think they are pretty universal with f150s, double check that. According to this it's the 2.5" spacer.

$50

Did my wife's 2014 F150 Super Crew and it knocked the mileage down between 2-3 mpg. Running 275/70/18 tires.

Let me do some digging on tire size, etc and I’ll get back with you. Thanks.

I have 20’s on my truck f150 so I’m no help there but I did do an 1.5” level in the front and I get lotssss of compliments.




I also learned years ago that on tire size, if your an older geezer like me, you want some clearance and want to keep your on road performance then you need to go up a size on the side wall but keep the same tread width... for example

I went from a 275/55/20 to a 275/65/20 and it added almost 2 inches of tire height but doesn’t have the sidewall roll and rubbing like most trucks.

Love it! I’ve been looking at doing mine the exact same but I keep telling myself to just go buy a raptor...so far I’m at a stalemate and have done neither haha.

I decided against the spacer. Went with Fox 2.0 coilovers. It was more expensive, but it improved the roll when turning. It added 2.5 inches. I’ve had it a few weeks and it’s come down 1/4 and inch. Running Nitto 305/55-20s

i think i am going to use the 2.5" spacer i listed here on my own truck, a 2014 FX4, and go with that 275/65/20 tire, i like the taller, skinner look myself, did you have to do any cutting or have any rubbing?

if i do the 2.5" in the front, would you raise the rear at all? i see 1" blocks or the add a leaf option...?
