Interesting happenings... this is the short version lol
I installed the Ford/fox 2.0 kit, wanted the Falken Wildpeak AT3 in a 255/80/17 after lots of reading and reviews. I couldn’t find them in stock anywhere. The Nitto Ridge Grapplers, while a touch heavier and beefier in the same 255/80/17...
There’s no reason you can’t use stock wheels. The raptor wheels have the exact same offset as stock. Headlight alignment is super easy btw. There’s a nut that you can adjust them down with. Takes 15 min max once you read the directions.
I would say if you don’t want to off-road a fair amount...
Gotcha. I don’t see a situation where the lift would make a difference for the adaptive cc. And they wouldn't slap their Ford performance on there if it did. Though with that many highway miles, I would prefer to have stock height and rake. Better gas mileage for sure lower to the ground. But...
Here is the instructions via ford for install:

They show u how to align headlights. Sensors don’t need to be readjusted. They are sensors, alert you when they get close to something. When your bumper is higher...
Nice, looks awesome. Thats the same tire I ordered. I tried to get them through 4wheelparts in Salt Lake, but after I ordered they said they were back ordered by like 2 months! So I had them cancel the order. Then, I tried through tiresnationoutlet.com as I couldn't find them in stock anywhere...
I just finished installing my kit. Read this and as I am a novice with no real experience, other than a few basic mechanics, I was wondering how obvious this would be if it happened to me? My wheels turn and I can’t here any real change in noise. It seams to drive smooth and pretty quite, like...
Awesome thanks for sharing! This is exactly the tire setup and height I am leaning towards. How is the mpg change? Those Toyos at 33” are load E and only 50 pounds! Only 5 more pounds than the stock Hankooks. Really great to hear you didn’t need to change up or move crash bars too. Even at full...
This is a great question! Any input would be awesome.
Looking at the ARB Ford bumper that was announced, it looks like the intrusion “crash bars” would either have to be taken off, or perhaps moved upwards, or come with new relocated intrusion beams. Since it’s a Ford branded arb bumper, I’d...
