Level/Lift and Tires on the way

[scubajosh77]

So I got my shop to order the Superlift 2.5" leveling kit for the front and the 1.5" blocks for the rear. Went with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT in 275/70R18. $2300 for everything installed. Hopefully everything will be here in the next couple weeks.

These tires are 22lbs heavier than the OEM Goodyears. I'm certain I'll take a hit on mpg. Anyone think I should be concerned about other wear and tear due to the additional weight?

Will post up pics when done. Need to read up on using Forscan to correct the spedo/tire diameter.

Before and after pics. Was dark when I picked her up so had to take em at the gas station and in the garage. Happy with it but am now thinking I want another inch in the rear. Measuring from the top center of the tire to the bottom center of the wheel well the front is about .25” higher.

Well I found out this morning why the rear was still low. The shop didn't install the rear blocks! Waiting on them to open to have that conversation. Kinda pissed.

Kinda?

Yeah. So they said they 'forgot' to tell me they didn't install them because they didn't have U-Bolts. Supposedly U-Bolts will be in today or tomorrow and they'll install it. Still pissed.

Any rubbing? How close is the inside of the front tire to the knuckle?

 

[scubajosh77]

I'll try to get a good pic. It's close, but no rubbing.

No rubbing, are you running spacers or anything? Are those rims a +55 offest? Also how close are you to the crash bars?

 

[scubajosh77]

No idea what wheel offset is. No spacers. Best pic I could get.

Stock wheels on the Lariat are:
7.5Jx18 ET55 offset: 53 - 57 (55)
Bolt Pattern (PCD): 6x139.7 (6x5.5)
Thread Size: M12 x 1.5

Finally finished and extremely happy with the stance. Also getting just over 20 mpg and I was getting 21 before. Not as bad of a hit as I’d expected.

Your truck looks great. Do you happen to have any pictures of the poke along the sides front to rear shot? I have the Ranger Lifts 2” (not installed yet) but not sure yet what I want to do with tires and wheels. I have some aftermarket 17’s but I don’t mind the stock Lariat wheels now that my truck arrived. But want a little beefier look. Weighing my options. Thanks!
