I keep going back to look at this thing. Makes me wanna buck the trend and run a 17/35 combo.


I love the look a lot. I also like that I can't remember the last time I passed another newer super duty with 17s. The ride improvement is just crazy, but you'll have room for a 37 unless you just don't want to have tires that big. Another upside is that with the tire being tucked in even more, your truck stays cleaner.

If I were to go from a 2.5 coil to a 2.5" coil w/ a 1" spacer what else do I need to add to the truck?

front driveshaft shim?
brake lines brackets?
ALAs for axle placement?
etc?


No driveshaft shim

Brake lines have plenty to go

I went straight to the PMF 3-link so I don't really know. I think when I did it Trevor suggested at least a radius arm drop even with the 2.5" lift.

Shouldn't really need anything else. My kit was coils, the spacer, sway bar drops, adj track bar, shocks and 3link up front.

That's why I run a zero offset BMF.... STILL looks great with a 35 12.50. And truck stays clean and rock chip free! Theyou fill the factory fender flares in perfect so proportionally looks much better than factory.

I loved the 17/35 on my 6.0. That was until I went into a ditch and knocked the tire off the rim. I think that might have played a little into what caused the truck to roll. Just in case, I think I will run at least a 20 with the 35's next time.

2.5" Carli Coils Fox 2.0s

22x10 American Force Liberty with 325/50r22 Toyo AT II

got some slight rub so I will be grinding down the edge of the bumper bracket and trimming the bottom of the fender flare edge.

I loosened that bumper bracket and took the bottom bolt out and pushed it over and then tightened it down and it stopped the rubbing on my truck when I had 35s and 20x10s. The less cutting the better for me.

I went from a 20" rim on 35's to 18" rims on 35's same tire brand/model. I will NEVER go back up a rim size, just no benefit.

I've been telling everyone for years about the #18lyfe ... rides better and tires are cheaper lol.

Couldnt agree more!! Also, I think the tire/rim ratio looks a lot better on 18's with 35s. I actually like to see the sidewall of my tires. But lots of people disagree with that these days it seems. #motiresidewallmobetta #18lyfe

Anyone had any issues with pre mature wear? I was looking into a 1.5" front level with adj track bar but still haven't pulled the trigger. Keep second guessing, was thinking about getting a set of traction bars instead.

I had to cut off the bottom part of the bumper brackets and it rubbed the back part of the wheel well but that was just cutting that felt stuff with a knife. ............. I guess that's also another question I have for anyone, how do you measure the rake of your truck? I have been told a few different ways but what is the best way to measure if your front and back is level or not?
