Hello all I have a 2016 f250 4wd xlt 6.7 crew cab long bed. I want to lift it a little and put a bigger tire on it. Mainly for looks ,not much off-roading. I have a 34 ft. bumper pull camper that I tow. gross weight is 10000lbs . I want the best ride quality I can get. I don't want the tires to stick out to much. What would you all recommend ?? Lift , Rim size and offset , Tire size . Thank you

 

I just did a 4.5 rough country lift on my 2016 F250 diesel. I went with 325 18 tires which are not much taller than factory, but I did want them to stick out some, went with 18x9 wheels 0mm offset. With the wheel being an inch wider and then offset difference, these will stick out about 2 inches further, with Bushwacker fender flares should be around even. If you don't want them to stick out, you could go same offset as stock, and then maybe going a little wider. That is all up to you.

 

I'd do a 2" taller springs in front, 2" taller blocks in the rear and 35/36" E rated tires on the stock rims, or aftermarket rims with stock, or close to stock, specs. Maybe 1/2" less backspacing to get the scrub radius back closer to stock. High offset rims are what wipes out bearings, keep the ball joint centerline offset from the center of the tire the way it was stock and they last. Bilstein, Fox, etc quality shocks.

"Draw a line through the steering axis to a point where it touches the ground. From this point to the centerline of the tire contact patch is the scrub radius (dimension shown here). Using wheels with less backspacing or adding wheel spacers will push the tire out and away from the centerline of the knuckle. This increases scrub radius, can require greater steering input from the driver, and can lead to increased road wander and tire wear."

Thank You ......

 

I have a 2.5" level with 37x13.50x20 Toyo RTs on stock wheels and I tow our camper all over with it.
