It's ready. Tire shop guys said the front "barely" rubs on the forward crash bars. only at absolute full steering lock. Just the tiniest ever on the outside thread block of the tire. Going to pick it up now and see what I can do, but leaning towards just removing those front crash bars later tonight. More to come!!!

Trying to figure out why there would be any rubbing, even if very slight. With the 2" lift in front and the tires only being less than an inch wider than stock tires and exactly 1" larger in diameter... Is the clearance that ridiculously tight to begin with on the stock tires? Hmmm... What's the offset of the new wheels?

I think it all looks great, BTW.

joesrepsol · Oct 27, 2022

Update: I only had to trim a little bit of plastic from the lower valance and had a notch off the corners of these black plastic pieces on the back of the front fender going to the side steps. No rubbing whatsoever. Full turns both ways

Yep. I guess I could see it right there in your pictures with the amount of protrusion past the wheel wells. Looks like you didn't have to do much to fix the rubbing. Will be curious to see what the range impact is like. I'm wanting to do something similar but don't know how much range I can sacrifice...

Looks good! I had a similar setup on my ICE F-150.

I must say… the readylift 2” seems to ride great. Surprised really. Truck is a little firmer from the tires. Shop put 46 psi. Not sure if that is too high. Just getting a feel for it.
Headlights seem to auto level just fine and blue cruise appears perfectly fine as well. Not issues! Pretty happy over all.

46 might be a little bit too high, stock is 42 psi. Maybe 44 would be a good compromise? Maybe even stock PSI.

PSI update:
Settled on 45psi at the moment. Ride seems great..

Ride Quality:
Wider/Nobby tires ride impressively smooth. Good job Nitto!!

only thing I’ve noticed is when I punch it (100%) the truck jumps a little left and right suddenly. Like a front wheel drive car would. Maybe it’s peeling out/slipping and this is normal, just something I noticed.

Love the recon grapplers. I have them on my F250. Excellent do it all tire.

Looks fantastic

Is this a model with blue cruise? If so did the 2 inch leveling kit throw off anything in your sensors or blue cruise?

Also did you use the rough country 2 inche leveling kit ?

I do have blue cruise… and it works perfectly after the ready lift 2”. Same with auto leveling headlights. Everything works just as it did with the factory stuff. Which is why i went this route to begin with. No problems at all.

no rough country… never really like that brand. The ready lift is solid and to my surprise, rides GREAT. Super happy with it.

Few extra views from driveway. Totally digging it. Getting a lot of people asking questions, making comments, throwing thumbs up, pretty fun.
