Rides better than stock and softer than when it was level lifted.Sharp ! How's the ride ?
I'd love To lower mine 1"/2" but the wife constantly reminds of my last lowering project. Also, i use my truck for truck things, so any more than 1 or 2 inches would not be kosher. I previously lowered my 2000 Ranger 3"/4" and a week later, I lifted it 3" because the lowered ride was bone jarring.Rides better than stock and softer than when it was level lifted.
I’ve got over 10k on this combination (22k on truck) and really don’t have any complaints. Air bags in the back for hauling if I need and perfect ride.

Awesome truck, please post pics when/if you get them installed. I’m looking to get some Toyo OpenCountry AT III 265/70 R18s on the factory wheels with a 2” level. From what I’ve seen in the forum it looks like I should be okay but would like to know how it worked out for you.It’s almost time for my stock tires to be replaced on my 2020 XLT FX4. I have the 18 inch black OEM wheels. No lift no level. Stock tires are 265/60/18. Which is a 30.5 inch diameter tire Hoping to stuff, 265/70/18 falken wild peak‘s in there which say they are 32.6 inch diameter. I know I would be safe with a 265/65/18, which is a 31.5 inch diameter tire, but want to go as big as I can without any modifications. I have read through all the threads and I feel I have the right information. I just need some reassurance. Thanks y’all.

I’m with you. I have a 1.8 inch level but couldn’t find a straight answer on if 265/70/18 would fit. I’ll likely just do 276/65/18 when it’s time to be safe.Awesome truck, please post pics when/if you get them installed.

Hopefully the lift will take care of this. If not, pretty sure the new bars will. BTW. Badass looking!!Well shit. After looking through this forum religiously I went with 265/70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss and don’t get me wrong I LOVE them but they rub. Where? The front crash bar. Never once I remember seeing that be an issue. I was worried about the rear. I have a Eibach lift going on hopefully next week so I’ll have the shop help with removing them. Just sharing and still love the way it looks! Thanks!

I’m hoping so too. Until next week just making wider turns. ?Hopefully the lift will take care of this. If not, pretty sure the new bars will.
Local tire shop has these. How is the ride and noise?I’m hoping so too. Until next week just making wider turns. ?
I don't think I remember anyone saying that the 265/70/17 rubbed. They must be a true 32" where mine (Nitto Ridge Grapplers) are 31.6". They do look good and make sure all your driving is in a straight line until you get the lift on. lolWell shit.

Aftermarket wheels and probably have less backspace. I have 265/70-17 Coopers on the stock wheels, stock height so far, and no issues, plenty of room between the crash bars.I don't think I remember anyone saying that the 265/70/17 rubbed.
