While I can understand being condescended to for being a noob, I still don't see an answer to my ask.
Truckzor, why not 20's? Whats wrong with leveling kits? Are only purists welcome here?
I feel exclusive because I bought an expensive bad ass truck and want to be around like minded people...… I saved my money and responsibly bought the truck of my dreams in my mid 40's and now I want to trick it out and drive it to work so literally everyone else looks and says wow, why didn't I think of that?
And if you don't think I haven't spent literally hours googling what I asked before I asked it on a new site where I specifically did not want to look stupid than you are either young and immature or just a knowledgeable troll deusch bag imop.
If anyone else wants to rip on me, I plan on adding a Borla cat back exhaust, programmer, ADD front bumper, and hopefully a roush super charger in the near future( in the mean time I just installed a bbk cold air intake and 85mm throttle body. Oh ya and a Rockford Fosgate DSR-1 so I can integrate my aftermarket sound system.
Or can someone recommend a different forum?
I thought
@Truckzor summed it up really well and wasn't condescending in the least...if you're easily offended the internet might be a bad idea...that was heavy sarcasm but you probably get the point.
There are good reasons for everything he listed:
Levelling kits are just spacers that sit at the top of the shock; great for a budget boost on a Heep or lessening the rake on a garden-variety F150, but on a Raptor it's WAY better to simply (well relatively) and zero cost (if you do it yourself) set the front shocks to mid perch. You'll gain that 2" in front as well as firm up the already soft front end (less brake dive and body roll, better resistance to bottoming).
20" Rims are fine for a street queen, and there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you have in mind, there are plenty of Raptors out there that don't ever see dirt. The sidewall you lose limits your offroad capability significantly so it just seems a bit out of place on a truck purpose-built for offroading. To each their own though.
Wheel spacers can have issues offroading, whether it's coming loose at inopportune times or just stressing steering components or exacerbating wheel rub, they are generally not a good way to gain wheel width. Again, if you're not offroading hard, it's largely a non-issue, but zero offset is about as far as you want to go and maintain offroadability, and even that is IMHO questionable without beefing some things up like tie rods, knuckle, UCAs, etc. Beyond that, like huge rims, it's kinda ghetto.
Lastly the 37" tires question is one of those things that there are literally hundreds of threads on here going back to '10, so while I think you're welcome here and have a valid question about a specific tire fitment...you might expect a little backlash. Especially after talking shit about a longstanding member with a badass build. There's a wealth of information archived here and guys that are more than willing to help, I wouldn't suggest starting out on the wrong foot.
