Rutcutter - what are the measurements from the top of the tire to the fender front and rear? Is there still a slight rake? On my '12 I put an inch bigger block in the back along with the 2.5" front kit. Truck looked perfect with 295/65/20 Toyo's.

If possible, will you please post a part number for the caster bushing so we will know the correct part to order? Thanks.

I think they will fit fine..
Finch I'll try and get you some measurements after I get the 37's installed Monday. There is still a rake with the 2" level.
Highjumper I sure will as soon as I get back up to the shop..

Hey Cutter, you might want to have them mount just one of the 37s and put it on the front before they do all the tires. Then check for clearance against the control arms. I think that is going to be the place they will rub before anywhere else. A super light rub is ok but if the tire is binding when turned at full lock that's no bueno.

That's good news. My Toyo MT 315/60/20 (which are 34.9 inches) rub on the control arms when they are brand new but don't after a couple thousand miles. Amazing that you can now fit 37s in there. Ford must have changed something. Either the wheels don't turn as far or they've changed the offset on the wheels.
By the way, I think you've convinced me on the RTs... Can't wait to see yours installed.

Epic I think im really gonna like the RT's,not as aggressive as the MT but still aggressive enough.. These not near as loud and also balanced out really well with minimum weights.
Also have a tread life warranty to boot.
I will LEDman..

That looks fantastic!
I'm also interested in knowing if you have noticed even the slightest amount of rubbing. My current rig rubs a small about but only when reversing to the left really tight.
If not....I hope you don't mind sharing the make, size, and other details of the level kit, including caster information, and any other parts you'd recommend changing. trac bar, etc....
Really. That is gorgeous. You should be proud.
