Mods so far are Westin HDX running boards, Gatorback mud flaps, Toyo Open Country AT3 265/65/r18’s, Ford Performance Fox 2.0 leveling kit.

Next on the list is Ford Performance tune to hopefully gain back some MPG’s that I lost from the level/tires.

For those of you that just bolted up the Fox kit out of the box, I hope you checked the truck for level cross-wise, fore-aft, and side-side.
The front collars one my kit were 1/4” different in height from left to right and both were too tall out of the box. Would have had the front of the truck sitting 1” taller than the rear with no weight in the truck.

Salty! Loving these 285/70R17 Duratracs in the snow, can't wait to see how a set of Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3's do next year!

What level kit you used for that?

No way! And it worked fine? Did you cut or used spacer wheels?
The Pro Comp kit comes with high clearance crash bars that clear my 285s no problem, even with the 1.5" wheel spacers. The spacers are primarily aesthetic, I think you only need like a 1/4" spacer up front to safely clear 285s, and some clear by a very slim margin without spacers.

So basically what you saying is 2.25 Pro comp with the modified crash bars should work with 285/70/17 with no spacers? And zero problems rubbing or anything like that?

Man you are saving my life! I was about to give up on that.
Thanks for the feedback

I'd run a 1/4" spacer if you're not looking to step all the way out. The slim margin I'm talking about is like a credit card thickness.

I rub on the little plastic pieces next to the skid plate in front of the tires, but if I had smaller spacers, those probably wouldn't be much of an issue. Tomorrow's my day off and I'm finally going to trim those. It would've definitely been easier to remove them while I was elbows-deep in the inner bumper area doing the crash bars.

They just barely rub on my RokBlokz XL mud flaps at full lock with heavy articulation.

I’m trying to avoid all that ? My best option is going with the @Fordrangerlifts.com 3” level kit that way I’ll avoid all the cutting and rubber part.
Thanks again @Trey1940

I hope I’m still apart of the magnetic club!! Cuz deep down inside I still am ???! Went out to the desert to test out the new wheels! I went with the black rhinos sandstorm, less rim, so I won’t keep getting sand and mud in the wheel well. The prior wheels kept getting stuff in it creating a very unbalanced wheel and tire. Also I like the look and the satin black finish opposed to the flat black that looked like it was old and oxidized. Old wheels were procomp 31 Stryker series
