Leveled - 35 toyo mts

The truck is finally leveled with new tires and rims. Had to take these pics in a hurry as I am leaving for a trip today.

I put on the 2.5" BDS kit with 1" rear blocks. The tires are 35 x 12.50 x 20 toyo mts. The rims are incubus brawns with 6.18" backspacing and 30mm offset.

https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...0-leveled.html

The pictures DO NOT do the rims any justice. They catch so much light and reflections it is difficult to capture the quality at the moment. I took some pics but think I had the camera resolution set too high for the site to upload them. Will post better all around pics as time allows next week or maybe sneak them in this afternoon.

Had to trim the plastic on the front bumper valance with no other rubbing anywhere. The rim spokes actually rubbed part of the caliper assembly - this was a very easy fix. If the casting would have been deburred when made this would not have been an issue.

The truck actually rides better now than with the stock rims and tires. As I said before I will post better pics next week. Just wanted to get these up so people could see the stance with the tires and rims I am running.

Good luck to everyone else with the rim/tire monkey on their back!

Wow, that looks AWESOME. Can you get a measurement from the ground to the top of the cab for clearance issues going into my garage?

I had to use my hillbilly tape measure - I can stick my index finger between the tire and UCA. When I make it back home - I will be taking alot more pics on clearance areas, taking measurements, and of what I had to do exactly to make this combo work. Plus paint up the calipers and little things like that.

Thanks for everyone's past help and tolerance - hopefully I can return the favor to others - least I can do!

Was able to measure today - on a level concrete pad in my shop the highest point was 79". This was near the third brake light. Hope this helps!

Congrats! I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the trimming you had to do. I have still yet to do mine.

That will be no problem. I have several more pics to post once I am back to some high speed internet. I did an initial trimming but in certain cases it would still rub - like turning onto different elevations. Was finally able to stop once when it was doing it - did a another trim and have not noticed it anymore. I have painted the calipers now and will have pics of those as well - prob this thursday night.
