Let's See Those Lifted / Big Tire Gen 4s!!

[Coop7379]

Here is a better picture of the rear wheel well. Alignment and bigger tires scheduled for Wed. I only added .7" (middle slot) with the bilstein shocks on the back on top of the Rough Country. There was only about 1/2 " of clearance at full extend between the axle and frame. Any more than that lift and it would end badly.

 

[Coop7379]

I got the tires installed 295/70/18 on the factory FX4 wheels. This is why I put the extra 3/4 inch on the bilstien rear shocks. Loaded trailer and sitting level by the body lines. Truck sits 6' 9" roof clearance.

2020 FX4 Max
I did the standard 3/2 Lift
Found some brand new OEM Raptor Takeoffs (wheels and tires) BFG 31570R17
No rubbing...a little bit of poke but not much...(which may be why they don’t rub!)
And just installed my Raptor style grille on the front!
Oh and swapped out all of headlight, fog light, and backup halogen bulbs for LED’s.
At the moment, we are calling it the RaptorEx Edition!

Where did u get and did u have to modify anything to make the raptor grill work?

 

[Coop7379]

I do not have a raptor grill, I want one. I know one modification will be getting the front camera mounted, atleast with the one from summit

First mounting them up I was concerned about clearance on pinch weld under the liner when off road but no issues.

Is this the stock Timberline factory lift? I have a Timberline and have been looking for a while to see if anyone put 35s on it stock.

I mounted my 35x12.5x17’s on the Timberline from my Raptor. I posted pics earlier in this thread - I thought it was a little too close but they will work. I ended up going to 295-70-18 will prob upgrade in the future when more suspension options are available.

Im on the fence with stock rims with 295-70-18 or the Method 703 with 295-70-17. The 703's are the only rim I could find with a decent offset. The factory is 44 and the 703s are 25. Trying to avoid wheel poke.

Moto metal, XD and American Racing all have the bigger offset options but they are only 8” wide wheels.

BTW, Timberline offset if 39, not 44. All other models are 44 as far as I know.

The 39 is stamped right on the inside of the wheel.

Thanks. Good information to know. I like the Method rims and knowing 25 is closer to 39 is good.

Pulling the trigger on the RC 3 inch lift kit with the UCA's on my 18' FX4 xlt. Does anyone have a pair of blistein 5100's for sale for the rear? To replace my stock shocks? ...also I'm wondering if I could get away with throwing some 35's in tires with the stock FX4 Wheels or go a tad bit of a smaller size?

I got my bilsteins from summit racing at 150 bucks each, a couple of weeks ago.

How long did they take to come in? ...also do you know the part number for the rears?

 

[sjwhiteley]

IView attachment 71351View attachment 71352I I just traded in my stock 22" wheels and tires (which in my experience were minimally capable in snow), for Black Rhino 22's and some tires with more meat on them. I wanted more capability and slightly more aggressive look without going for the full off road look. Ultimately i decided against suspension mods at this time. This expo will see plenty snow, but nothing off the road. Very happy with the outcome. NO noticeable difference in ride or tire noise, no rubbing. On 22's I believe this is as large as you can go without mods to suspension.

Specs:
22" Black Rhino Kunene 9.5 30 (i think)
Toyo AT3 305/45/22

I like this setup where where they from if u don't mind my ask Im trying to locate in Canada but hard to find stock?

Mounted 295/70/18 Recon Grapplers - no clearance issues. Big improvement from OEM. I was prepared to modify fender liners but will wait to see what I need after flexing.

Did you have any rubbing issues after driving/flexing a bit?

I am curious also. Looking to go 295/70/18 or possibly 315/70/17 which is same height but 3/4" wider.

 

[Hectorsvt]

Well finally got the lift and tires installed- RC 3" with the rear blistein 5100's as well...stock FX4 wheels and 285/75/18 Ridge grapplers

 

[Expy Gator]

I have had zero issues with the Recon Grappler 295-70-18 on the stock Timberline wheels. It fits the body lines well. I have 35x12.5x17 on my Raptor but when fitting them on the Timberline the clearance was tight so I went with the 295's
