New 2020

Truck turned out great and rides like stock or better. ADD is making us a front bumper now that will work with the 2020 and should have it in a couple months.

Are the 2020 SD steering suppose to be harder and tighter to turn than years past?

Anyone using the hypertech or rough country inline device to get the speedo and data correct? Seems it is a PIA to install to me. Says minutes but that is BS from the instructions I saw.

With the hydro-assist, it should steer much easier on the 20’s.

I posted quickly guys sorry. Lift is a Carli 2.5 backcountry. Only thing that did not fit was the brake lines which I did not change anyway. Wrong threads. Fuel Lethal wheels with Nitto 37x12.5x20 tires with about 45 lbs. If I tow I would put 55 in the rear depending. Rides really good I think but if you wanted you could go with 18's and maybe get better. Bumper is made by Addictive Desert Designs and I am waiting on them to complete a front bumper that will work with the 20's and come up with something for the adaptive cruise. Wheel's are 9" with 5" backspacing with an offset of zero. Just a hair of trimming. JSC on here has similar setup with a F350 longbed and no trimming was needed. I did just add about 1" to the rear to level it completely.

I really have not driven the 17-19's so did not know if they were hard to turn or not. Coming from a 2014 F250 and it is super easy to turn the wheel. Not really a big deal but it is surely noticeable.

Truck looks great. What did you do to add 1" to the rear? New blocks?

Truck looks great. I just recently discovered ADD after seeing a 17-19, at a 4Wheel Parts truck fest with their stealth fighter front bumper. They make some nice looking bumpers. I see that they list the stealth fighter front winch bumper for 17-20. Which one are you waiting on?

Changed out the block to a 350 block we had sitting on the shelf.

The rear bumper fits the 2020 but the front does not line up correctly. Bolt patterns are off by over an inch. So they just got a 2020 in the shop and are making changes this month and it should be ready very soon.

I see. I was just going off their site, only the stealth winch bumper says 17-20, so I wasn't sure if it was one of the others you were waiting on.
