Hello everyone, I am moving from my truck to the 2022 Expedition Max as soon as it gets here in a few weeks due to my family size increasing! My wife has a 2021 exp max and I really like it so I picked one up that is on the way.

BUT….. I need to put lift it up a little with some larger tires so I am wondering if anyone else has put the bilstein 5100 all around on their 22 or even the readylift. I am going to be either keeping the stock 22s or swap with my wife and take her stock 20s… any idea on tire size?

I know there are a ton of posts about both of these options, but hoping someone may have photos of a stock wheel and tire size combo for a 22?

Again, I am new to the expedition life (not even there yet!) so sorry for asking another over asked question!
Hope everyone is doing well!

I don't have a lift on my 22, but my 19 had the ReadyLIFT and I was able to fit 34x11.5s (285/70 R18) without any trimming or rubbing.

ReadyLIFT won't work on my current 22 since the Timberlines are factory leveled. Working with a company to see if the F-150 2" puck lift will work. Trying to figure out the bolt pattern for the rears and if they differ from anything on the fronts or F-150 kits.

I picked up my wife’s XLT last week. I went with the ReadyLift leveling kit (3”F 2”R) and the Nitto Recon Grapplers (285/55/20). Plenty of room if you wanted to go larger. Very happy with how it rides and very minimal road noise with these tires.

looks great! Have you by chance measured the gap from tire to fender on front and back? @HRE05

I will be towing some, but prefer to have it as level as possible when not towing
