How does it look though? I guess I am looking at my truck with the stock tires and 33's look like they are going to be crammed in there. I also have no fender flares either.



Looks like it should from the factory. I've gotten used to the way it looks now and it seems stock with a more aggressive tread pattern. I can take pics if needed.

I’m running 34x11.5r20 on my 2.7 eco with 2.5” level kit. No clearance issues. I also put intake and sct programmer and ended up getting about 20 mpg with 87 octane performance tune. Haven’t ran the economy tune or higher octane tunes enough to see what they will get. Adjusting headlights is really simple to do so you don’t blind anybody after leveling. I also installed airbags and a compressor so I can keep it level while towing.

Now, bring on the bashing for me doing these upgrades on a 2.7 haha

ETA: was getting about 22mpg before upgrades

That extended cab looks clean. I never see these anymore.

Thanks. I haul stuff more than I haul passengers, so I prefer the extra bed space.

what kind of tires are those? I have a 2017 f150 STX crew cab. I've struggled with what tires to go with mine. Your setup looks great! Totally going to copycat it.

He's running Falken Wildpeak AT3w, same as mine. 55k warranty. No road noise.

^^^ what bootlegger said. I’ve been real happy with them so far. Price was good and I’m approaching 30k miles on them with almost no wear and no road noise. I don’t do any heavy off-roading but they’ve gotten me through a few sticky spots on our hunting property. I’d buy another set in a heart beat.

I don’t see where falken makes a 34x11.50r20. Does it go by another size?

My bad, I guess my tires are a little narrower than I thought. They are LT275/65R20

Slight hijack, who's the cheapest (but still reputable) around Lafayette to install leveling kit?

The way a truck should look IMO.

Good to hear. I like them so far. Put them on at 60K miles. May upgrade shocks to bilsteins when I go in for my next set, hopefully in another 60k miles.

Another slight hijack...are there any cons to putting a level kit (which I assume most of you just put spacers on the front right?). Obviously I want the look but 2 things have kept me from doing it to my 17 so far. 1) I'm not well informed on any drawbacks and 2) I don't want to buy new tires when mine only have 18k miles.

Fuel mileage, front end rise when towing/carrying load, and possibly limited articulation when offroad are the only "cons" I can think of. None of which bother me in the least. I just wanted the look.
