Has anyone run or seen 285/75/18 on stock wheels?

No issues with alignment? How’s mileage with those AT 3 285s?

16 is pretty common from what I’ve experienced

Cool. Happy with the Eibach?

Thanks! Yes I had the 2.5 AS kit installed this morning then went to discount and swapped out to the 35s, it still has a slight rake but looks like what it should have come from the factory.View attachment 4627

Looks really nice.

YOLO bro! I’d put on the 285s. Gas mileage is what it is! Cut back on Starbucks or something to counter the drop in mileage. Lol! I just spent two hours this morning detailing the piss out of her. Haven’t done that in a long time.View attachment 4670

Gorgeous.

Yeah I am. I felt it was the best available option. End result I’m glad I did it.

I just ordered the Autospring 2.5. Not a fan of spacers at all but I might wait a bit for a tremor specific kit

I took the same approach - though went with the 2" AS spacer lift. I'm planning on 285/75/18 Cooper AT3 XLT's. For me, should be the sweet spot for running around town, taking clients to lunch combined with my excursions into the backcountry with a little more ground clearance and tire toughness.
Oh, and @Bannerman , your truck HAS to be close. Check out my dates in my signature. When I checked with Ford chat, they were telling me delivery between 7/12-7/18 and it showed up on 7/2. I'd even checked with them on like 6/29 and they still said 7/12-7/18 and it showed up early. Fingers crossed for you.

For the price, there is no way to be disappointed. I had a shop install and align for around $350. It rides the same as stock IMO. If you want something better than stock I’d wait till more stuff comes out or more stuff is time tested with the good folks on this forum. But the AS 2.5 did exactly what I wanted it to do. Get rid of that stupid sill crazy rake! And it allowed me to put 35s on my truck (which I guess other f150s can’t do with just a level) my COO of my company bought a Platinum a few months before me from the same dealer and he asked how I was able to get 35s on cause the dealer told him the level would allow it.

Once you get those 35s on, how tall is the truck? Can you still get it in your garage?

I went back and forth on 2 or 2.5 but I’ll probably put airbags on as well so I should be able to maintain take loaded and unloaded. 285/75R18s for me as well but will go with the Toyo AT3.

Traincar left Michigan this morning around 4 AM!!

Suspension is one area that I don’t mind spending money, but as you said there are just not any good options right now. I do know there’s a member on here running kings, and they eventually find out what his set up is and duplicate it if I lose patience, but the auto springs should be fine for now. How much rake do you have unloaded with a 2.5’s? I want to still have an inch or so of rake if possible

Yeah, I don’t park in the garage, my wife thinks her expedition requires the entire two car garage for her and the kids to get in and out. And my 3rd car is dedicated to my home gym. But I’ll do my best to remember this morning when I go out to work out.

I’ll look at this too, I think you asked me on another forum and I keep forgetting to check. It’s a been busy week for me. Birthday pool parties so naturally I have yard work to prep for, power washing everything, pool cleaning, and then drinking too much whiskey Friday (friends over for my birthday) night and taking two days to recover. It gets harder every year, getting too old! Lol

I think I’m going to change my autospring 2.5 order to 2”.

 

[1warmtremor]

Ok so hub to fender is almost 26 inches in the front and almost 27inches in the back. So about a 1 inch rake. Also truck is around 6’ 8”- 9” tall and does look to still fit in the garage.

Ok. Thanks! I emailed autospring to change my order to 2”

Yeah should give you around 1.5” of rake.

My concern also- lift the front by 2+, add 35's, and won't squeeze into garage anymore. With the measurements given above (80-81"), would be shaving it for me, and for sanity's sake, AMB needs to reside inside!

My unsolicited opinion, anyone considering the 2.5 AS or any 2.5 spacer for that matter should think real hard about spending $200 more and getting new Eibach shocks and lift springs instead.

So their website says 2.7” yet is says must be used with their shocks that are 0-2” lift? That would be almost $400 more, now prob a better ride set up but I’m still confused on the shock and spring combo. And does it give a 2.7” lift?
