I just got the standard RAS system installed with an 800lb camper in the bed. As it sits now it has no rake and rear is 3/8in higher so sits about perfect. Have the springs on the highest setting though

@MidlandTremor, so many caveats to this 'simple' yes or no question you've asked. Factory wheels? Aftermarket wheels with different offsets? Is your definition of 'fitting' under normal pavement driving or extreme off-road articulation situations? And to further complicate it....some 35" tires aren't much different in overall diameter than a 285/75/18.
I think you’ll be just fine with that setup. Honestly, it describes a similar use to mine with perhaps a bit more true off-roading (I love central and south Colorado trails).@High_Country Thank you for validating why my head is spinning on this!
This is where I think I’m landing…..stock wheels w/ 285/75/18 Nitto Ridge Grappler tire & 2.3” AS spacer
Ridge grappler I think is showing 34.76” diameter
I don’t tow much at all & my off-roading is related to more of just normal hunting activities vs rock crawling. If squat becomes an issue I’ll add the RAS system. And to be honest; this truck will be on pavement 90% of its life
Will run this set up for a bit & then maybe upgrade to a coil over kit (the halo mountain system is catching my eye)
If your talking puck lift probably not, unless and I haven't looked to see, we have a spacer on ours from factory, I think our lift comes from the spring but I could be wrong.
I think a 2.5” “lift” would net you 3.5” over a regular F-150. Which is the main reason I went with the AS 2.0 spacer. Want to keep my CV angles reasonable
It’s just hard for me to think that a tremor with a 2.5” puck level is running 3.5” over a stock f150. The cv axels will be toast in no time right?
Supposedly the Tremor is set up to have more travel up front and in the rear than a standard f150, which should me that the uca's and lca's should be longer than a standard f150, while it might be marginal it should help with angles.
Nothing has been changed to adjust the CV angles. The UCA's and knuckle will help with suspension motion and alignment. But the centerline of the CV is the same. Lower A-arm mounting points are the same as a regular F-150. In the level thread I tried to compile all the pic's we had of CV angles and they are steep. To steep for me, I made that mistake on my Gen13. Rode like crap and ate CV's if you used four wheel drive for more than snowy roads. I think the ride on the Tremor is so softly sprung and being a complete strut makes it's not as noticeable as on a regular F-150. RCV's, diff drop or live with it are the only options I could find. That's why I went full lift kit.
Post pics to add to the list.
Well it should be just a fraction longer, I know on the standard F150 they increased the uca and lca by something like a 1/4" and these are supposed to be slightly longer than that, which would make you think it would have to be longer.

Less than an 1" per Bilstein unless that just came out if it's the ones I asked about a month ago that's what they told me.Does anyone know if these new Bilstein coilovers would work on the Tremor and how much lift it would have?

@Cranbery and a few others run those coilovers and can chime in.
That is the kit that I used on mine in the pic. The shop that put it on recommended not dropping the rear end as included in the kit. I choose not to drop the back ans this is the results. It is a slight rake but not noticeable. Afterwards I put some 295/70/18s on the stock wheels, and this is the result. I love it. Nice smooth ride.
Same. Did the RC 2.5 but did not do the lower rear blocks. Did the vertex rears. Rides great, going to fully test in NC next month.
