I'm not even really sure what the offset is on these wheels. I bought them used. They are 20x10s they barely rub them, Maybe I should put a small spacer or something on them.

I have the same wheels and I ordered them new. They are either a -12 or -24 offsett. Those were the only options in a 20x10 for our trucks when I bought mine. Mine are -12 and dont rub at all with a level kit and 33-12.5-20's.

Mine wouldn't rub at all either if I were running 33s...I am on 37s though and they do touch the radius arms a tad bit. Maybe they are 9 inch wheels, I don't know. I had to put them on in the driveway of the guy I traded with, so it was a stick one on and make sure it fits, then check them all for blemishes/damage, then throw the others on and leave. I didn't have much time to look them over and he didn't have it listed in his craigslist add either. I really don't think he knew much about them at all.
Lots of room to push snow over the cliff along our driveway, just need to be careful how far I push. 😉
Community has a contractor that uses a road grader to push back the 6-10 feet tall piles every 2 or 3 storms. These are only 6 feet tall, but about 15 feet deep.
Been away for a few months, several surgeries and lots of DR visits, all is fine now, thankfully!
Plowing our road and driveway, with my '99 F350.
8 feet of snow fall so far, much more snow than last year in our new home, but still need a lot more to refill our reservoirs.
Thankfully, lots of steep dropouts to push the snow off to make room for the next storm!
Not just today but over the week, swapped full bench seat for a 20/40/20, installed new bully hoop steps, rough country 2" leveling kit, new fender flares and cleaned up the bed a little. Finally got the plow frame off along with bumpers and flares to get ready to spray some bedliner down the lower sides. Nasty! No more rust prep work sucks though, took foorrrrever Epoxy primer sprayed and scuffed. Ready for the liner All fresh and clean! Before flares With flares Both sets of hoop steps on Plow frame, bumpers and flares off, ready to go in and spray the sides
Well this did not all just happen today, I started a project with my 05 Powerstroke Supercab Dually last summer.
The Truck has had 2 previous owners, both were commercial so the beast has been worked HARD. I don't know much about owner #1 but I suspect it was a fleet as there are telltale signs there was an emergency Light Bar mounted on the roof at one time, also this truck came from Ford with the Snow Plow Prep package.
Owner Number 2 I have quite a bit more info about, found a few of his business cards in the center console before the dealer had time to clean it out. E-mailed him and got the rundown, used it to plow and pull his construction trailer. Replaced starter, EGR Delete, Replaced a few injectors, new batteries, Some sort of 95 HP Tune was installed, front tires, brakes.
Dealer Did some front end work but not as much as it probably needs but enough to make it safe. Replaced FR Hub that was shot, and took of previous owners cap, told me it was not included because previous owner wanted it back, I asked the previous owner and he said no, he bought a box truck so surprise surprise the dealer Lied..shocker!!!!. Also we compared notes on $$$, I paid 14000 he was given 10000 ... Ill leave it at that, however I will admit they did 2600 worth of work before giving it to me.
SO below are so picks of the restoration of the rear, it was a plow truck in New Jersey so you know its rust city under there. I'll let the picks speak for themselves.
Pickup Day from Dealer, it looks great, OR DOES IT???? Pickup Day from Dealer, Who knows what you can't see. Bed off, Ugggh Im sure many of you have seen this sight before The Old Rear Brake Assembly Rebuilt and cleaned up, new bearings went in there as well Ready for welding Post Undercoat Descaled, treated with rust killer and undercoated, also installed Load Rite airbags since i had the bed off Front breaks and shocks replaced last week.
Takling the oil pan today, and the trans filter as long as I'm getting dirty. Replacing the stock metal pan that's leaking from a crack around the drain plug from the PO with an aluminum, deep sump unit.
Changed transmission fluid and filter on my new to me 2015 F250 6.2L - its at 100K miles, so I'm working my way through the maintenance requirements. Probably do spark plugs next...
Let me tell ya, they're a blast!
I started showing intermittent misfire codes on cylinders 1 and 7 last week at 150,000 miles. Did all 8 coilpacks, 16 plugs, and 8 plug wires. Coilpack boots on #1 and #7 came apart when pulling them off, and were packed with corrosion. Not sure how they lasted this long as poor shape as they were in. Almost all the plugs were worn so bad the small center electrode was gone. Runs much better now and my fuel efficiency is up almost 1.5 mpg.
Wasn't today, rather over the past few weeks... Replaced my headlights. Changed the backup lights to LED. Slowing migrating the rest of the lights to LED. That's where I started. Installed my Pioneer head unit and backup camera. Removed the plastic bed liner to assess the bed condition for future spray in style liner. Had to power wash the bed. There was rocks, glass, dirt and sand just sitting underneath the plastic liner. Cleaned that out and power washed the bed out. The bed was still wet when I took the pictures.
After examining the bed, It's looking like it'll need to be replaced. The rails underneath are rusted through as well... In time anyways.
Before changing. After changing. Halos and LEDs wired up. Hard to tell here. Halos and LEDs at night. The LED backup light. Hard to tell it's any brighter or not. My Pioneer head unit and backup camera image. It's wired so I can turn the camera on while driving, from the head unit itself as well. Bed liner removed. The rocks and dust/dirt/sand/glass I removed from the truck. That was underneath the liner. Rusted through by the drivers side fender well. Rusted through on the driver side.
This past weekend I replaced the catalytic converter because some lowlife cut it out a couple weeks ago, in broad daylight, at my work. I did learn to weld by mirror though so that was cool.
