No, I buy the pre-diluted yellow anti-freeze as prescribed by Ford and don't think about it. I did this in Florida, and do it now that I live in Michigan. The 50/50 mix is good down to -37°C, which is right around the record lows for your state. If you plan to drive around in -39°C, the you're...

Especially in Florida for some reason

There is certainly a pacing problem in the industry. Even if the engineering is good, there is still immense pressure on purchasing & SQA to hit timing and pricing goals that allows even tier 2 and 3 supplier issues slip through. It relies on everyone in the global supply chain to understand the...

Good pricing on the trans service My local dealer said $700 so I guess I'm doing this one myself too

I've had 255s for a few years now and honestly they've been great in mud and sand. Back in Florida is was off roading every weekend when doing mtb trail work and always had great traction with lots of sugar sand and mud. The duratrac tread probably makes a big difference there. Friends with...

No trimming. Should note however that this tire size on the oem wheel can be difficult to mount as tires in this size are typically of a very stiff construction, so maybe not a good set up if you plan to do low pressure off roading. There is no seating in the woods if you lose the bead.

Stock crash bars, stock wheels, 2" Fox 2.0 leveling kit. I can probably get a better picture later but here's how sits with the 255/80r17s.

Im a simple man. I see a 33 that fits with just a level, I put it on my truck 🤷‍♂️

- How you look thinking the Chinese got Tiananmen Square right

Go 255/80r17

Not really any noticeable changes. TBH I think any difference is muted by the fact that the tires are E-load and can be rough as shit on the road. I exaggerate, the ride is plenty comfortable, but it's a huge change from the SL tires I replaced. Another drawback on this tire is that they can...

Yup! I'm running 255/80r17 tires on the stock wheel, no spacers and I do not rub anywhere, even off road. They measure about 33.25". Maybe there would be some contact with the sway bar disconnected, but as it stands right now I don't hit anything through the wheel travel. Did plenty off roading...

You could avoid doing all of that AND fit over 33" tires if you keep the tire width to 255

Relax dude

Just buy Tremor kit from fordrangerlifts.com and avoid RC garbage

Yup. I had a similar experience. Standard load, 2 ply sidewalls, plenty of rocks, root balls, and brush with no tears or punctures for a couple years. Only have LTs now because it was the only option for the size and model tire I wanted.

Oof yeah my bad, I misread the Falken website. I still dont think this will be a problem for the OP. He said himself he just drives on fire roads, maybe a little technical trail occasionally.

So they all have a 3-ply sidewall so I wouldn't really worry about that. I think you'll be ok with the standard load tire in this case. A ton of nuance required for tire discussions, but basically tires like the AT4w are very tough as it is and will hold up well off road. I ran SL duratracs...

Start with the load index of the tires you want and compare them to the specs for your truck. From this website:https://www.falkentire.com/wildpeak/at4w It looks like all AT4w tires have a 3 ply sidewall, regardless of load rating and the standard load tire in 265/70r17 has a maximum load of...

This dust cover is a good thing to have IMO. I would replace it
