Thanks guys I think the 37's fill the wheel wheels up perfect,I do however get a small amount of rub at full max lock but nothing i'm going to worry about.
The tire shop had gotten the Moog Adjustable Caster bushings but once we got it in there we couldn't get it to adjust hardly at all.. He ordered another "Fixed" caster bushing and will be here Wed and going to try it again,hopefully 3rd time is the charm..
Does anyone have a tire chart so I could check to see how much my speedometer is off by chance?
Kit and tires look great!! One thing I noticed in the second pic, on these rims, the back hub looks like it has the **** to turn from "Free to Auto" like the old fronts. I know it doesn't, but just odd not seeing a flat hub from Ford like in the past and what most aftermarket put on.
It looks awesome. Can you put a level on the top back of the truck and get an overall new cab height? You lifted the front end and then went up another inch and a half with the tires alone. I'm hoping you're right at 84 inches to the very top.
Your odometer should be off by 10% now. The OEM tires were 34.1 inches and your new ones are 37. That is 3 inches or slightly less than 10%. If you factor in the little bit of sandbagging that all manufacturers do on their odometers/speedometers your speedo should be somewhere around 5-6% lower than actual speed. Think of it as a free extended warranty!
Epic 84"'s is what i'm seeing at the back of the cab. Great idea on the extended warranty! Lol
Kenv thanks man, I really the look of the new hub covers,even had a guy ask me if I could lock the rear in like the front... Lol told him yes but I pull a **** on the dash to do that..
Thanks jlalanas just downloaded the App and fixing to go for a drive.
Cutter, talk more about where the rubbing is occurring. Is it on the control arms or somewhere else? On my current truck, the 35's rubbed a little paint off the control arm when the tires were brand new. You should test the rubbing at full lock going forward and backward. Get a little speed and press the brakes pretty hard. That will expose the rub. I don't think vertical clearance is a problem for these trucks.

Cool....I'm getting the same one's on my 250, since I'll have the HD Tow package. Gives me the bigger caps in the back. We can lock in all 4 wheels like a SnowCat !!!

This is what you get for being the first guy in!
Epic the rub is on the control arm's like the 35's when new...
325/60r20 Duratracs on 20x9 Fuel Mavericks (+01 offset) being installed right now on the factory suspension. Given the offset, I know I won't rub on the inside. But I'm still nervous that they will clip on the outside without a leveling kit or trimming. I guess I will find out shortly.
