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

[JacobLeverett]

Always forget to take pics of it, but finally got the lift and new tires installed and it came out just right. I didn’t want it too crazy as we have 3 toddlers, but wanted a little better clearance for light trails and aesthetic of course haha

Can you post more pics at different angles?

Here you go. Let me know if you want others.

Here’s with the wheel turned. Closest spot on both sides. Only has rubbed when I cranked the wheel hard off-camber in a parking deck

Thanks @Mack207, I currently have a set of Raptor wheels and an inbound '24 Max Stealth.

Hey there yall, can you run 33 X 12.5s on the stock expedition rims.

Hey there yall, can you run 33 X 12.5s on the stock expedition rims.

What size stock wheels do you have? 4th gen Expeditions come with 17" (XT), 18" (XLT, FX4), 20" (Limited), and 22" (Limited Stealth, Platinum). The stock tire size is pretty close to 33" OD.

AFAIK, 33x12.5s come in several different rim sizes, but most are 15" rims, which are too small to fit around the expeditions' brakes afaik. If you are getting these for offroading, I would want 17 or18" wheels to maximize the sidewall.

Not really "big tire" but still wanted to share.

2018 Ford Expedition Platinum
Lift : ReadyLift 3/2

Tires :Nitto Terra Grapplers 285/60R20 (33.5 inch tall 11.2 wide)

Rims: KMC KM722 20x9 +0mm

Does it poke?
Yes

Does it rub?
I haven't driven it much since installing the lift but so far no rubbing.
I did move the auto steps back about 1/4".

Hey everyone! New to the forum, I currently have an F150 tremor (5th f150 I've had, drive way too much), but looking to get into an Expedition Max here soon, so loving these pics and specs! We also have a normal length expy stealth too.

Wanted to ask if anyone had seen the rough country 2/1 lift for CCD. It looks like it may have just come out, but wanted to ask if anyone had seen/already installed it! Thought it would be an interesting alternative to the 2' rear lift moving the rear wheel forward some, as long as you could hopefully fit a 33/34 with the 2/1 lift. https://www.roughcountry.com/product/ford-2-inch-lift-kit-50012

 

[GixxerJasen]

That's an interesting option. Didn't see but I wonder if you have to flip the part around like you do on the other kit.

 

[teriyaki_cowboy]

No lift, but with Raptor beadlocks and 315/70R17 BFG A/T2’s. A little bigger than I wanted, but couldn’t beat the price. I didn’t care for the 22’s that came on the stealth. I had to pull the front half of the front fender liners forward to clear. I already had the air dam off, so it was pretty easy to make new holes for the liner where it attaches to the bumper. The driver side running board was too close when turning, so I adjusted it back. Anyone else with deployable running boards run into clearance issues?

Is there a bottom shock mount leveling spacer? I’ve done several on GM’s, but can’t seem to find one for Ford. I’d like to get a 1/2” to get it perfectly level.

Not sure if you’d be interested, I did see rough country had a 1” level for CCD. Not the half inch you’re looking for, perhaps looking for an f150 .5” level (I’ve owned many f150s, I’m sure there’s one for them that may fit ours)

I went with a F150 1/2” level and it worked fine. The 2/1 RC option is more intriguing, but the front-to-back height was only off 1/2”, and I hate the front higher look. The 1” and 2/1 are definitely new.

I read elsewhere that not all F150 wheels will fit? Something with the dust cap.. and the axle may need to be trimmed…?

Currently looking into F150 take-off either 18” or maybe even 17” wheels. Anything to look out for when staying somewhere stock 275/65R18 or 275/70R17 ish.

I like those Tremor Y wheels, or the base Raptor ones optically.

Not looking into doing any lifting etc.

TIA

Yes, the F150 wheels will not fit the back axle. Need to trim it back about a quarter inch to get the dust caps on. I did mine with a sawzall.



Since you like the Tremor wheels with no lift...

Correct. Rear center cap doesn’t fit with the axel length. I’m running without the cap until I have a chance to trim the axel down. Should be able to see it in my pics. There’s another thread on here about Raptor wheels and tires that shows it too.

 

[crashkid1982]

Darn. Thought it would be a plug and olay exercise. Love that rig above tho!!

Assume the black base XLT / F150 Sport are identical and F150 take-offs do actually fit the Expedition without getting brutal? Funny I keep seeing them at a pretty “sportive” going $ rate here in NC.

Any intel about those?

 

[GixxerJasen]

AFIK, ANY F150 wheel will require trimming of the rear axles. Just do it, it's easy and opens your options quite a bit. Lots of good cheap options for the F150 wheels, but the Tremors aren't usually one of them. However, they went so well with the gray on my expedition I paid up and got them. Selling the stock 22's sure helped the pinch on the wallet though. Funny enough, they are running on an F150 now.

New around here, been reading for years but just joined after I did the first upgrade to mine. Still the family car so couldn’t go crazy (yet).

2021 XLT
Readylift 3/2
33” Nitto Recon Grapplers (275/60/R20)

Look forward to many upgrades to come

Finally made the swap on the family hauler. We made a trek from Indiana to Big Sky Montana for a snowboard trip last month and I was not happy with the snow performance of the factory 22s and Hankooks so decided to ditch them..

Off with the factory wheels and onto new and more exciting.. 18x9 Granite alloy GR504s and Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 275 65 18's. I loved their winter performance on our Gladiator so I figured why not give them a shot. They were awesome through an iced over North Dakota and a minor blizzard on the way. Great in the mountains and fantastic on the long highway stretches. They are much quieter than I though they'd be and ride a bit better IMO. And I like the look so much better.. Just need to decide what to do with the stock 22's now. LOL
