The wheel/tire issue.

I rarely keep a truck longer than a year/ year and a half so it was time, and I went from a loaded XLT to a Platinum so there's that lol

I read up on it today, you're correct they increased track width. I remember hearing this before but I didn't put two and two together and realize that would make the wheels all screwy.

I need to get a decent pic of the new truck first lol. Decided against the 6.5' box again. I just don't love the way they look, and the length makes it tougher to maneuver in the bush.

+20 should work relatively well depending on what size tire you put on. If I was running the "normal" size for a levelled truck (275/70/18) the 0 offset wheels would probably be a bit too much, but would work, and the +20 would be perfect. If you're running a wider tire like me, the +20 should work.

Not sure, I think the platty 20's are an 8.5" wide wheel

PSA: For 2021+ F150 owners regarding wheel and tire fitment: On previous gen trucks, an 18x9 +1 or 0 offset wheel fit the sport package/Lariat trucks perfectly. With a 2.25" level, they would just tuck a 275 series tire, and a 12.50 (315) would have the tread flush with the wheel arch. On the...

Ya that's usually the case lol

Thanks guys! And yes, it looks like an old man grocery getter right now lol. Couple weeks when all the goodies are on it'll be much better. Lol.

Snapped a pic, the truck is filthy from our melting roads though. Waiting for suspension/wheels/tires to show up! There's a bit too much brushed aluminum on it as well, so i'm going to have the mirror caps either painted to match the truck, or wrapped gloss black. Thoughts on if gloss black will...

I love Raptors, but they don't tow enough for me. Just waiting for the accessories to arrive and i'll post pics, but without further ado... 2021 F150 Platinum FX4, 3.5 ecoboost, in Smoked Quartz tinted clearcoat. The color is what did it for me. Oh, and the massaging seats. Lol.

So, as things often work, I went in a different direction truck wise. Fell in love with a truck and i'll be buying it tomorrow. Not what anyone expected, I think. More to come. :cool:

Flatlanders :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

My last house had about a 300' driveway, but not quite enough paved to turn around with a trailer without driving on my nice lawn, so every time I put the ski in the water I had to back an empty ski trailer 300'. OMFG that was so frustrating. I can back a normal trailer up that driveway as...

Oh if that's all it squats than i'd just leave it.

Ford would only sell the entire leaf pack I would guess. Much cheaper to just order an add a leaf.

^ Didn't think of that, but i'd bet it was a 99-02 7.3.

Honestly old one ton trucks don't drive very well. I might even say they drive like S ***

The 285/75 is actually taller than a 35x12.50, those are 34.5". If you plan to leave the FWC on mostly full time I would just add the leaf you're missing out of an F350 pack. Should solve the problem. By far the best bumper for a SD. (in MY opinion)...

Looks good! Any plans for suspension?
