I've seen one with 35's. Problem is, they don't give very good specs as far as if trimming was required and what wheel offsets are on the truck. I'll dig up the picture of it.

 

 

Here's the one I saw. But, don't know any specs on it unfortunately.

So i put my RC 2" level kit and Toyo 295/55/20's on this weekend. Install was simple, just like on my 2011. It definitely helps to have an extra set of hands when wedging that spacer in there. 295/

Thanks. Here is one more from yesterday. Considering we're getting 8-10 inches of rain the next two days, I won't be taking any better pics soon.

2" level (2.5 inch actually only lifts about 1.5" from what i read) Stock 20's with a 305 55 R20. Right now it has 275 55 r20

 

 

I may have to use wheel spacers to move it outward away from the sway bar

You'd be the first I've seen post specs what it takes to accomplish this. So, if you do it, please help us timid ones out :help: so we know we've got it right the first time.

 

I believe the stock Rims are 18+ offset... I want the so cal look (Front little taller then the back) I am thinking the 1.5" wheel spacers will be needed. I will try without first

 

 

Trying to source a 3.5 inch level

 

 

I know they have them for my 07 so they are out there

I went with a 2" level because I had heard some stories/rumors that a 2.5" can mess something up with electrical or something along those lines. How true it is - I do not know. The 2" looks level to me, getting some new tires put on today, I'll post some new pics later today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

Where did you hear about this?

 

Have the 2.5" on mine now for two months and have had no problems at all.

 

That's good to know. Maybe I'll keep an eye on things and go up that .5". Although I don't know if it will really make that big of a difference. Keep us updated - like I said it was most likely stories/rumor, but not something I wanted to risk. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

 

I have had my 2.5 for just under 6 months and have put over 10,000 miles on it in that time. No problems what so ever.

I am actually going to call the tire place tomorrow and see if they will take them back and order me the same tires but for a 20" wheel. Think it might look a little better - I they will do it. Doubtful.

I just got a 2in BDS Leveling kit installed at dealer. That is what they recommend because I tow trailers with my truck. Looks great and level. The ride of the truck has changed. It is a lot stiffer almost like a 2500 HD. I also upgraded rims from 18s to 20s.May have a bit to do with ride?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
