Gurus,
What is the biggest size of Wheels & Tires i can put without having to lift the car?
i have a super crew 2013, brand new.
Also i would appreciate your thoughts on lifting, what are possible risks? i drive my kids to school daily, just before school we get into a desert area to skip a very long line of cars (best part of our day) :waytogo:
so i use it on road and off road daily.
Appreciate your inputs, but in English please, no sophisticated terms or abbreviations :burnout:

This is definitely not a "Car" - Go stand in the corner and think about what you've just said...

Awesome way to get them to school!

^ lol

There are a lot of wheel/tire threads in the wheel/tire section. It all comes down to which combination. Some may rub while others may not. 37s will require some form of modification. You could run them without doing anything but I wouldn't do anything off pavement like that.

1st: It's not a car (As stated before)
2nd: You're on the wrong forum if you want to talk about lifting a Raptor or a car
3rd: If you don't want to adjust the front coilovers, then you are running the biggest tires you should run.

But there is a pretty good thread about the 37 BFG ATs, i'm sure a search will turn it up.

BFG AT's run smaller than the stated diameter. Stock 35" are really 34.5". So you can up in size. Stick with something safe for your kids :)

IMO mid-perch is a must. Looks better and rides better. First mod I did. The Fox racing shocks come with three settings. There are grooves in the shocks and the springs can be moved up or down adding or reducing compression. This also raises or lowers the truck. From the factory the rear is on mid-perch and the front is on low-perch. Most move the front up to match the rear. It levels out the truck and gives it a more comfortable ride.

Thanks a lot for your explanation, much appreciated.
