Thanks!
I am at 1.75 right now, but about to go to 2.25 because I am rubbing up front a little

looks like you have a much wider offset now. You running springs or collars? Your going with springs in the back to match the front 2.5”?

So nice. After the countless threads and pictures I've looked at, I believe the 20" wheels with 35" tires fits the truck perfectly.

What’s the advantage to going with a 20”? Doesn’t that hurt off road characteristics? Less sidewall to flex when airing down. Or are you just doing it for looks? Not looking to start a tire size debate. Just curious.

there’s no advantage it’s a disadvantage performance-wise in terms of offroad capability, but due to the Raptor setup you’re still running a much thicker sidewall than a standard 1/2 ton w/ a factory 20” wheel

it’s done for looks or to open up more wheel/tire choice which is also for looks.

You need to remember that when someone sees you for the first time, that will be last time you can make a first impression. So when at the Mall, every detail counts when it comes to looks. Ha!

Seriously, any off roading that I'll do here in Maine is usually well graded logging roads. It's amazing how well graded many of the back country roads are here until you consider the 50 ton logging rigs that run them. The combo will take away from serious odd roading but if I get into that I'll run my stocks most likely.

It’s for looks/preference. If it’s a street driven truck and really don’t do any heavy off-roading you can certainly go this route. If you want to push it off-road or want to preserve the look of an off-road truck that this is, then 17’s are normally the way to go.

The icon collar kit for the front. And yes, the offset was much more aggressive then the 17 rebounds. I will see how the rear sits after I adjust the front then decide on anything for the rear, rear is stock right now.

Thanks man. I absolutely loved my 17" rebounds and if I spent more time beating her up off road, I would have stuck with 17s.

But this is the look I was wanting to get with this truck... and it is still plenty capable off road.
