4.5 Icon lift, 20" KMC Revolvers with 35" ATZs

Just want to send my appreciation to FTE for the great advice and info on the products and mods that work with superduties.

Here are some pics of my rig, just lifted it and put on some new wheels.

The Icon lift is top notch! The installation was straight forward and it went much faster than I anticipated. My brother and I did it in about 4.5 hours and that was at a leisurely pace. I added the dual steering stabilizers and I also shimmed the carrier bearing 1". No vibration and I have had it to over 90 mph (closed course, do not attempt) the ride is much better than factory!

The wheels are 20x10 with -24mm offset. I am very pleased with the M/T ATZ's. They don't make much noise, they wear very well, they are superb in adverse weather and they have a E load range. This is my second set and I highly recommend them.

Nice looking truck! Could you have gotten away with less negative offset on the wheels? If my math is correct that works out to about 4-4.25" backspacing and '05 and later can take 5-5.75" I thought.

That's 4.5" Back Space.

And yep, you can do more backspace....I run 5.14" on my 07.

I just got a set of 18x10, -12 offset Diamo 17 karats from a FTE user locally on craigslist. With 35x12.50 Cooper STTs I clear my leaf springs by about 3/4" at full lock. These have 5.06" or so backspacing so I thought they would rub. I guess I got lucky and they don't stick out too far, only 1/4" further out of the fender than my 16x8s with 4.25" backspacing.
