Biggest tires.

Anyone here ever put bigger tires on an fx4? If so, how big did you go? Lifted? Stock? Playing in mud?

Im really torn on an fx4 vs a tremor. Both crew cab black


Tremlor is all chromed out...i hate chrome. Also no bedliner so itd be wrapping bumpers and grille and doing the fender vents in red

Fx is obviously cheaper. But has 20 invh rims...so i figure put on 33s so i can tow and still play in the mud with the mrs in her jeep.

Would i need to lift for 33s?

I already hear the eyerolls. Sorry.

No rubbing i assume. Do you ever play off road? Bear in mind, i wont be getting crazy. I will also tow a rather large .ca per with about a helf ton tongue weight.

Current fx4 150 does it...doesnt care for it.

37” well documented on here. I have fairly aggressive off road use. No body contact what so ever. Contact begins at 38 degrees of steering angle (of 40 degrees) with sway bar and radius arms. You can find my thread on modifying those to be no rub.

not for everyone, but you asked biggest.

No rubbing or clearance issues of any kind. Towing is also a non issue.

Depending on the options or capabilities you need the FX4 is a smart choice. I wanted the larger gas tank & 8’ bed so that ruled the Tremor out.

the tremor can rock crawl...which, i will never do. That 5k price difference...not sure the hp and torque numbers justify it.

Besides...over my 5.4 3v, a 6.2 will feel like a monster.

Would you be ordereing or buying off the lot? Im just wondering what option the FX4 gives you that you would want or need.
Also, with the 20" wheels, stock tire size is equal to 34".

What forcal said. The fx4 is pointless. Get the skid plates and save the rest of the money for your tires.

I was not impressed with the Tremor you could take that money and get some kick butt aftermarket parts. I Bought a F250 Lariat with Sport and FX4 no chrome anywhere. Hopefully get the Rancho shocks off soon. Just got truck so have not looked underneath yet but I assume they still use the cheapo rancho.
