    Advice on 20" AT Tire and Rim Combinations

    I bought a set of stock F150 Platinum 20" wheels and run a 275/60r20 with a winter oriented tire on them for the winter seasons. This size was no issue for me and still available in lighter sidewall ratings for light trucks instead of a 10ply 'heavy' tire like some of the HD tires get into.

    Pickup owners: do you prefer towing with Expy or pickup?

    Lots of Ram 1500s and Expys in here, I have the same and have towed with both. I took the Expedition with 2 side by sides on a 20 open trailer to the Black Hills last month and it was more enjoyable than with my pickup for that load. Quiet, plenty of power, and great ride. I don't know if I'd...

    Can we talk HD Tow one more time?

    Did we feed someone bad information in here when they looked at their sticker? Far as I can tell, this unit is near 10k dry and 1300 tongue weight.

    Towing Setup- SumoSprings or not?

    Agreed with @Fozzy that I couldn't tell any difference without a load on it but the rebound is very much reduced especially on bridge approaches and rollers with a load attached. I don't take mine offroad because every place that's offroad in Iowa is a cornfield

    Extended Wheel Lug Studs for Wheel Spacers?

    I believe they're 14x1.5mm

    Who is running wheel spacers?

    I don't have a picture of the studs showing on the rear before the lugs went on. I counted the threads on the lugs before I ordered them, I'm trying to remember but I think there was about 15-18 threads slowing without the nut installed. These are 1.5mm pitch lug nuts so that means about 6...

    Gave it a good inside, outside, underside wash for the first time in way too long. One more trip to the hills and the summer wheels can go back on!

    Who is running wheel spacers?

    Agreed Deadman. I'm lucky enough to have HD rear springs OEM, and have SumoSprings with a Hellwig rear bar. Heading to the Black Hills next week with a small trailer (few hundred lbs tongue weight), but there's plenty moguls on I-90 to exhibit suspension travel so we'll see how it handles. First...

    Who is running wheel spacers?

    I used the 10mm on the rear and had no issues with F150 platinum wheels bolting on.

    Who is running wheel spacers?

    I have 5mm hubcentric spacers front and 10mm hubcentric/wheelcentric spacers from Motorsport-tech.com as well. Installed with no issues and as smooth as it was before. I used the offset front/rear to even the track width as well as being able to fit F150 wheels for my winter set modifying the...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    I have never weighed it with 4 sleds in it, but it gets pretty heavy if you figure a sled with fluids in it equals 600+, tools, 4 gear bags at 60-80 pounds each, and groceries/beer for a 900 mile trip out west. I have always thought we'd probably be around 6k weight loaded for a trip. Once I get...

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    It's a 7x29 (24' box +5' Vnose) with 6' interior height. Weighs 2900 empty with almost 500 tongue weight I believe. No option for WDH as it's a straight single tube tongue. I've never pulled it full of sleds, only empty about 40 miles with the Expy.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    Had a dirty snowmobile trailer and the expedition was filthy as well, so I took them both through the truck wash before the wicked cold weather hit us. This trailer usually gets pulled with a bigger vehicle but the expedition handles it well.

    Rear Sway bar?

    I also recieved notification that Summit Racing charged my card for my rear bar, so hoping to see it here soon! From all the comments here, I can't believe I'm this excited about a sway bar :D
