I'll take a look.. Do you mind getting a few pictures for me? I want to see a full side shot to show the fender gap and then a shot of just the front tire/wheel well to see how the clearance is

I've got the 11.1" lift and my rims are 18x10 -24 and my 37x14's still rub the front plastic. Easy fix but I think wider would cause some issues. I'm gonna look around for a taller skinnier tire too. I'll holler if I find one.

They make 38x13.5's for my rims, but 40x13.5s only come for 17s from what I can see.. If I could find a tire that is ~40x13.5 do you think it would fit with minor adjustments on a 20x10 -24 with 11.8" of lift?

I am having a similar debate right now. I am looking at installing a 2" level, dual damper kit from dt profab, and a 3 in body on top of my 6" lift. With mine being a 2500, would I be able to clear 40x15.5x20 on 20x9 rims with a -12 offset?

My 2500 rubs the long arm links with 20x10 -24s with 13.50s

That's odd. Mine doesn't come close to rubbing there. My problem was only on the wheel well plastics near the rocker panel.

Gorgeous truck man. Well done. Question, if you would have went with a 3"BL would you be clearing 40s? Just wondering. I miss riding big as I sold my old truck and got my new ram

RIP Old--dark side :p

Also do you get any rub at all? Full crank maybe? This will be the first 2wd I have done.

I bet you could fit 40s if you could find something other than a 15.50. If I didn't love the Toyos so much I thought about the 39.5x13.50 Iroks or maybe the 40x14 M16s since they seem to run a bit narrower than the Toyos do. That F150 is badass for a Ford

I only rub my mud flaps but they're only on in the winter. My trucks a 4wd but if you have a 2wd you can run all the way up to 46s with a 3rd Coast lift

Thanks, i sometimes miss the beast.

Yea I had a Silverado that I ran the 40s M16 and they are alright on road with the noise.

I already called 3rd coast as they did my F150 with 16" but I don't want to go that extreme yet. I am more interested in 7"cst w/ 3" BL and maybe 5100 series just to level it all out. Also think I'm going to stay at the 38s for now again as the price difference between 2" is really drastic.

Yea that is Robby's from KEG media truck. He was going to do a rendering for my F150 and I did play with the idea of getting one done for the ram but that would then be too tempting to go back to another 16" lift.

War machine - Did you put spacers of any kind on it? How you like the ride? Any death wobble? You regear? Programmer? Sorry just getting a run down as I am looking to order stuff after my house is done being built.

WARNING! - Giant lifted truck thread, lol. Holy ****. Nice lookin' trucks guys, even the Ford. :)

If I could ever afford a second vehicle for work and a lift like one of these I'd be all over it.
