Looking at doing the 3/2 Ready Lift with the Rough Country rear as discussed in this post here: https://www.expeditionforum.com/thr...cd-suspension-and-34-tires.57151/#post-519867
A few points:
Vehicle ('24 Exped Max Limited SPP w/ HD Tow + CCD - bought new a few weeks ago), running on factory 22", is 90% pavement driven but 10% plus, give or take, driving two-track logging roads/gravel/rural in both the U.P. and South Dakota during Fall/Winter (hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, pulling a trailer, etc.)
Wondering what tire/wheel setup might be best for the "off-road" use; should I get a second set of wheels/tires just for those times and put on/take off as needed? Was looking in this post here (Let's See Those Lifted Big Tire Gen 4s): https://www.expeditionforum.com/threads/lets-see-those-lifted-big-tire-gen-4s.47228/
and thinking maybe 17" or 18" wheels, even take-offs from say a F-150, maybe even a Raptor or Tremor? However, I don't want to have to trim the wheel liner or have any rubbing.
Could I then put the factory 22" rims/tires back on? Would think I'd have to go to a larger tire to take up some of the extra room in the wheel well from the lift?
Any suggestions, thoughts, experiences appreciated. I've not done any mods to a vehicle like this before ( will have local shop do lift install and wheel/tires).
Ride is currently at detailer getting PPF, tinting, and some other odds and ends.
Thanks in advance!
