    So.......anyone try these. I might have to.

    Wicked Wheel for Raptor. Made a noticeable improvement on my 7.3 PSD. https://www.dieselsite.com/wickedwheel2-1820raptwineco.aspx On the PSD the turbo is noticeably louder (turbo whistle). I would assume that is the trade off and why the factory wheel is not as aggressive. Also on the PSD...

    Air bump psi

    Please excuse me while I take you away from the enthralling threads of "which tire do I buy" and ask a question that I don't seem to see regularly.

    Sooo, isn't there someone here who hates the 3.5 ecoboost???

    So I decided this is where(and you if you have the info) I will post high mileage eco-boost engines. 1st is 2014 F150, used by a roofing company. So not treated kindly. My customers may not appreciate anything that gives any indication of personal info so I will leave it at that.

    Stock wheel offset /back spacing

    This seems like a simple and possibly stupid question. But my google-fu is off or something. Does anyone know the offset/back spacing on the factory bead lock wheels? Sorry if this was answered yesterday.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls it is time to have a discussion

    So, my Gen 3 order has been pushed to 2023. I am keeping the order on the chance it will actually happen. But I see a lot of change happening in the world and with a little soul searching I have decided to find a clean Gen 2 so I can have a Raptor before everything goes EV and the shit hits...

    Sooooo, everyone understands the weight of larger tires isn't the real issue right???

    Tire height is the real issue as it relates to power/loss of power. IF you don't know I will explain, but suffice it to say that the 37 package should come with 4.30 gears. Could be I am wrong, so if some one has an argument based solely on tire/rim weight then go head please educate me.
