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

[jberzer]

First post and long time lurker. 2018 Plati owned for about a year now. Learned a ton from these forums, thank you! Wastegate rattle fixed (Spring mod) thanks to you folks.

Just installed the RL 3/2 this past weekend with Continental Terrain Contact AT. 285/20/60. Slight rub on the running board at mid turn. Ride is excellent with these tires. Very quiet and much smoother than the 22”.

The Expedition handles the beaches so much better with the thicker sidewall.

Looks awesome, very well done. What offset are your wheels?

Thanks! 20x9 +0 Offset

 

[JimW]

Looks great 18Plat. What from hitch did you use?

2019 Platinum, 4x4, tow package

Just bought it (used), have no idea how it was raised, but I suspect Ready lift?

Tires: BF 315/70/17 All Terrain

Only right front rubs when full locked, doesn't poke. No idea why the left one is ok.

Came with some other options like spreader bar light and 2 headlights. Ordered the powered running boards from a salvage place and will install them soon. Not perfect for offroading, but better for my wife ;-)

We want to use it offroading this summer and take it to Utah/ Colorado/ Arizona. Did some trails here in South Florida, I have the feeling we're gonna need a skid plate as the bottom looks very unprotected. We like to go rockhouding and exploring and did a roadtrip during the covid shutdown with a 2017 2wd limited. I was happy with the car, but not so much with the 2x4 in some places, especially in the more remote places in Wyoming and such. Now we hopefully can go almost anywhere without too much to worry about.

Thanks @JimW…front hitches were custom made to fit the rod rack. Dual square 2” receiver tubes that mount to factory tow hook locations using the same bolts. Can be removed in the winter to put the tow hooks back on…

What tires are those on stock rims? Looks about right for my next tires.

Lifted if you count the factory Timberline lift???? Just got it Saturday so nothing done to it yet.

What do you guys do to adjust the speed and fuel useage?
As mine is about 7% wrong due to the 315 tires?

ForScan (adjust tire diameter in MM)

There is also a calculator (probably accessed in the ForScan page) as part of the F-150 spreadsheet that will use GPS speed versus speedometer speed to give a value to put into ForScan.

I found a value at 50mph, 60 mph, 65 mph, 70 mph, and 80 mph. For me, I was happy with the results at the 70mph test.

The straight mm adjustment gave me horrible results. I was close to 8 mph off at 70... on the high side.

thanks, so in short,

I purchase a usb cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B094Z7PBLS
and download forscan and adjust the values that reflect my current setup?

This also fixes the mpg differences and my distance counter? (although I kinda like my total miles drived overall doesn't reflect the actual number (as it is off by 7%)

Yes.

Also, the software only works on Windows computers.

I would go over to the ForScan sub-forum and read up on things there. Keep in mind the the 2020+ models are finicky with ForScan. I just read a few posts about it and it looks like the Over the Air (OTA) updates can overwrite ForScan settings in the newer models.

I don't know what all settings this may impact. LokiWolf really has his finger on the pulse when it comes to ForScan.

Any idea on the full scope of work to get that? Is it stock with bigger tires? A readyLIFT and bigger tires? A full coil over upgrade and bigger tires?

Inquiring minds want to know!

It had the Ready Lift 3/2. When I first spied it I thought it was a timberline. It was just a plan Jane XLT. Didn't look like any trimming, they also added the side steps. This is how the Timberline should have came. They don't even look lifted on the lot.

Trying to decide between 295/70/18 and 35/12.5/18 on my Timberline. Front end is definitely lifted compared to other 22's I compared on the dealer lot. I've been really busy but going to mount my 35/12.50/17's from my Raptor as a test fit. Definitely need more tire width for FL sand. Looking at suspension options.

Looks great! - thanks for making me decide on keeping 18's rather than moving to 20's on my Timberline. (have 35 x17's on my Raptor and Rubicon and love meaty tires) Is that a 18x9 0 offset wheel?
