tires?

So I’ve looked at almost every post about leveling kits and tire sizes. Still curious if anyone has photos or experience with the ReadyLift 1.5” front spacer level kit. Just picked my wife up a 2020 FX4 XLT. Pretty set on moving from the stock 18” wheels. Going with Mayhem Crossfire 20 x 9.5 with 25mm offset. Debating between Toyo A/T III in 275/60 or 285/55. Not sure which stance I want to go with or if I really need the kit to accomplish fitting either tire. Thoughts?

Look at the first response I posted months ago. It’s ugly, you’ll hate the look, and people will leave dollar bills on your window with a note that says “just a little something to go towards your lift in the rear”

Yep came across those 16plati. Those are gen3’s. I still haven’t come across a gen 4 specifically stating it has a front level with pics. Are we comparing apples to apples on gen3 and 4 suspension and leveling. First Expedition we’ve owned so seeking real experience and advice.

It ain’t gonna be much different than body styles. 1.5” is 1.5” bro. There aren’t any pics on a gen 4 with just a front spacer bc gen4 owners are smart people and lift all 4 corners, or keep it stock so there $80k SUV doesn’t look like this

There are two ways to go....

1. wheel with less offset, more aggressive and larger tire, 1.5 level, and removal of the front air dam and perhaps the running boards too. You could pull off the 4x4 look doing all this, but it will still be low. A passerby would probably not every know it was leveled.
2. 3/2 lift, whatever wheel, 33 or 35 tires, and air dam removed. Now you are getting somewhere.

I have the 3/2 lift and i can say that if it was a 4 or 5 id be ok with that. 3/2 is minimum and i think with only a 1.5 you will wish you had gone bigger. Its still not a very tall SUV and honestly looks stock-ish.

shit he might as well put 5100s on it at max height. At least then it won’t be squatting, he gets 1.x” of lift, can run a slightly bigger tire, and it’s not a spacer. They seem like a win win in his case. Unless he likes the Carolina squat look ?

 

[Sean Thayer]

Not looking for the rear squat. Thanks fellas

If you lift the front and not the rear what do you think the back will do?its going to look cheap, but hey there’s a look out there for everyone. Maybe you can be the first to lift just the front of a 4th gen and let us know how it looks

A 1.5 is not going to give you a rear squat. It will look a little more level. That is it. i think they are nearly 2" low in the front from the factory anyhow.

 

[Sean Thayer]

Didn’t think I’d get all the smart ass responses. That’s why I asked a question and if anyone had experience. It’s called a leveling kit... I’d like to confirm if it will indeed level or look off. thanks for all the pointless feedback Sunflower
