Mods questions

Hi,

I have a F150 FX4 2014 and have some questions.

Right now I have stock mags and tires, 275/65R18, and I would like to put larger one, 305/65R18 and maybe 310/65R18, can those fit on the stock Mags or do I need to change them?

I also want to add a leveling kit in front (around 2") and an Airlift system on the back, I have a Trailertent 27' that weight around 8000 pounds. The airlift system that I am looking at as a maximum of 5000 pounds of load leveling capacity, would that be ok?

Thanks.

As far as tire up sizes go most tire manufacturers do supply a wheel width range recommendation ......airbags I dont know but I'd go with much higher than you "need" airbags not right at their limits

i'm not quite sure what a tenttrailer is. at 8,000 lbs, i'm picturing a hard side travel trailer, but i guess it doesn't really matter.

unless that trailer puts all 8,000 lbs on the bed of the truck, then i would think your airbags would do a great job of keeping the truck level.

i had airlift bags on my explorer and loved them. i'd recommend getting better hardware than airlift provides, however. something a little more corrosion resistant.

I haven't heard the term "mags" used in a very long time. I'd say those tires will fit on your rims, and I tried earlier today to look at the specs for that size. I'd say they might be on the wide side, so I'm thinking a 2" LK might be in order. I have Airlift bags and like them, except one has a slow leak somewhere. Not enough for me to bother searching for it currently however. Maybe when things slow down after the summer I'll find it, probably a fitting I'm thinking

I would think with a front lift the 305s would fit. 310s don't exist from what I have searched. Usually most tire manufacturers go 305 to 325, sometimes 315 but I wouldn't recommend an unusual tire size as it is not very cost prohibitive.

Also, are you looking for a good AT tire or an aggressive AT tire or even a MT? Another thing to consider is not all 305s are the same. Manufacturer actual sizes vary so it may be trial and error.
