It has an Icon Stage 3 4.5" with 20x9 wheels with a 0 offset. The tires are 37x12.5x20's. No rubbing and didn't have to cut or shim out anything for the clearance. Its my third SD with the Icon. Thanks!
great looking rig! it does appear that your front valence has been trimmed...all of our trucks could aesthetically benefit from a front valance trim or the 2wd valence haha.
I ordered the 4 inch wicked lift for my 2017 F-250 6.7 with no website at the time you just don’t know what you’re buying. I just love blowing money over here lol... I received the 4 inch lift..... it’s a 4 inch front spacer lift w a 1 inch block in the rear that has my axle off by a 1/2 inch “mass production block” wicked said that it is within tolerance, I’m not a mechanic but I paid 74k for my truck and good money for a lift tolerance is bs, they’re now offering new adjustable “ubolts” I believe to correct this issue..... free, after a call but still waiting for the item to come in. Customer service is great! My set up is 4 inch wicked lift, upgraded all shocks with wicked mono tube, wicked steering stablizer, bumper spacer, I’m running 22 inch fuels 12 wide with -44 offset with toyo M/T 37/13.50. When ordered I was told I can fit just about anything but I knew I would have to do some trimming no big deal, it was interwheel well just like everyone else. I would like to let everyone know that my truck rides stiffer than a dead body, I know I have wide rims and m/ts and it wasn’t going to ride the best. Here we are now, I have had the lift installed for a week & 700 Miles and I’m starting over ordered a king coil over 6 inch lift for my truck. I wouldn’t buy a wicked lift again everything looked great welds were on point but why no upgraded coils just spacers my minds blown 4 inch lift is an over priced leveling kit in my eyes. I have plans on giving away the kit on instagram some sort of contest or raffle w donations going to a good cause. If anyone has any questions I’m happy to answer them.
4" spacers go quite a ways to steepening the RA angle, which transmits a lot more impact to the frame and away from the coils/shocks. if you look at most of the 4" plus systems out there, they include RA drops to return them to a normal / more optimal / flatter geometry.
For the people who are running the 2.5" level on 37's - how did it change the driving dynamics of the truck? Death wobble without a track-bar drop? Has anyone towed with and without that setup and notice any difference?
The cruising RPM's don't look all that different, so towing won't be too crazy different and I'm guessing with all the torque MPG don't tank the MPG's right? Coming from a 6.0 truck that cruising RPM in the 1700 range for freeway driving looks really appealing.

2" Bilstein leveling springs
never heard of such a thing. where did you get? link?
It is only springs and Bilstein has not tested it on 2017 Superduty to verify fitment, but I know it fits because I am running their springs on my 2017 F-250. You can find that "kit" on Amazon or a handful of other websites too. Found best price on EBay. Didn't want to break the bank on high end kits and I am not a fan of spacer kits at all. Seemed like a good middle ground. Watched a beautiful 2017 KR hit a pothole on the highway and the spacer and spring shot out like a spent shotgun shell. Decided right then that spacer kits are bad. And poor installs are worse.
I went through the whole post and it appears most people go for 20"+ wheels.
Is there a practical reason for this (other than it's what the truck came with), or simply a looks thing? Do the 20" wheels allow for a higher payload/stability?
I'm just now becoming ok with how 18's look. I definitely prefer the bigger sidewall look

I think it’s just so your truck doesn’t look like the old Fall Guys (tv show) truck.

A lot of these truck come on 20's factory, so I'm guessing that is part of it. 18's should give you better ride quality due to the sidewall - might find more tires in 20's as well being it is the new HD truck standard.

I too prefer the look of big wide sidewalls. But after a long search for the right wheel you may find that it is not offered in an 18" The industry has moved to 20" and bigger. The selection of wheels out there is more than triple from 18"-20" I love the look of 18" wheels and 37" tires. I just could not find a rim I liked in 18" And every one I did find I would call only to be disappointed that it had been recently discontinued. So good luck and hope to see your 18" wheels and 37" tires on here soon.
When I bought my 95 Dodge 2500 the guy had nice 17" aluminium wheels on it and an extra set of 16" chrome steel wheels. As soon as I could I got 33's on the 16's and swapped out the 17's and never once put them back on. I've always just preferred the larger sidewall, less rim look. Now the width has to fit. I'm not a fan of the ballooned out tire look.
But as I said the 18's are growing on me, so maybe by the time they come stock with 22's or 24's the 20's will look ok!
more wheel and tire choices in the 20" wheel. seems like generally higher load capacity tires as well.
18's with more tire rubber will give a better ride though
