I had the ridge grapplers on my 2016 F150 and they where great in the snow. In the rain however they would spin quite a bit from a dead stop.

Nice, those are my favorite wheels from the last three generations of the SDs.

Been looking at Black wheels- but based on where we drive the wheels always look like your bronze wheels. I think you have made me change my mind. Are those American Racin? If not, mind telling me who's they are?

Hey Keith I love the look of your truck. Do you have 3.73’s along with your 6.2? If so have you noticed any power loss at all with these tires? Just curious since you probably added around 15-20 pounds per tire in actual weight.

Thanks! Yes, I do have the 3.73s. I have put around 3k miles on these tires so far and have been very happy with them. They are almost 20lbs heavier than stock but they are not real noticable. With my stock 275/70s in a week I would average 14.3-14.5mpg. Lately I have been right around 13.7-13.9 with the new tires. With gas being less than $2 a gallon in area I haven't noticed much of a difference. Right after I put my tires on I towed my 30ft camper which is 7500lbs dry and it still did good.

Awesome to hear. I think you sold me on this tire!

not what you asked to see but figured it’d give you full confidence on 35’s.




Do you have the snow plow prep package? Are the tires 12.50 or 13.50? Looks good! Im going to run 37s and level but might not level now. I have snow plow prep package, thats the reason for asking

I can definitely notice the difference. I haven't towed with it except for a couple miles to the RV dealership for service, but I'm guessing it's going to be a big difference when towing. I started a gear swap thread to get some ideas about swapping gears. I have noticed thought, that a heavier foot eliminates most of the sluggishness...

35X12.50 R18's on stock wheels. I love the BFG's. They're quite, ride great and have excellent traction. And I think they look great.

Section 179...are those the Ford factory ramps? and if so (or not) are they locked-in to the tailgate, or just setting there...thanks.
