I just recently bought a black 2016 F250 Platinum with 3.55 gears and LT275/65r20 tires. Previously I owned a F150 FX4 Ecoboost leveled with Fox coilovers, Raptor rear shocks, and 315/70r17's.
Currently my plan is to run a Carli lift, either 2.5" or 4.5" depending on tire size, BMF Novakanes, probably 18X9 with 0 offset and a 12.50 tire. The decision I'm having the biggest issue with is to go 35's or 37's. Unless I can come up with a better way to do it, I'll probably run Bushwacker fender flares to help protect the rocker panels and Amp Research running boards.
The concern I have with running 37's is that I really don't want to regear and I'm worried it might affect the drivability enough to require it. I owned my F150 for three years and never towed anything more than a four wheeler and I don't see things changing in the very near future. Eventually I plan on tuning it as well but I'd like to get a few more miles on it before I do.
Thoughts?
