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.
The only thing I notice at 10k miles is the occasional hard downshift when I brake quickly to a stop. Most of the weird shifting worked itself out after about 5k miles. If I brake slowly it’s fine, but a quick brake at the stop sign and it does clunk down at the low gears. It seems odd but I...
This transmission is being used in a lot of Ford’s fleet. I don’t think we all need to have doom and gloom about its future. The true lesson here is to not baby it or drive it like an old man as demonstrated by @Msfitoy :giggle: - instead, put the pedal to floor and enjoy!

Installed the lower grille last night from mountains2metal. High quality and secure in place - looks very nice in-person. Tomorrow I’m planning to install the Ford Performance grille.
Lower grille piece from mountains2metal. Ford Performance grille and compatible Raptor lights arrive later this week too.
I’ll have my current raptor lights for Lariat or Tremor grille available for sale after I swap it all out.
