I have a set of new Ford 20" alloy wheels and tires sitting in my daughter's garage. I have to go down to SoCal and pick them up.
I may opt to have them done up in black. I will wait and see how they look on the truck. I am also looking for the best method to get the rear of the truck out of the clouds. I don't think a simple shackle extension will bring it down far enough. Wheel liners are a good suggestion.
Unfortunately they don't make a TrueTrac for the super 8.8
Some guys have modified the stock (clutch style) LS from a newer Mustang to work in an F150, but it's not plug and play. One thing they had to do was machine down the c-clips and I'm not sure what else they had to do. I don't even own a super 8.8

Here is the 18" version of the same wheel on an Oxford White truck for comparison, the truck came with the chrome PVD wheels which is possibly the ugliest option.
Rear wheel well liners help the looks also.

The truck looks great! I just ordered a set of OEM wheel liners (FL3Z-9927886-D).

Not what I wanted to hear, but good information just the same. Thanks! I will have to continue to develop other options.

You know the traction control that comes with the truck does a pretty good job. I have used the e-locker on ours occasionally, but I find just switching to 4WD works better most of the time.

Yukon sells a clutch style limited slip for the super 8.8. From what I've read it's the stock Mustang LS modified to work in the F150. It's pricey compared to a just buying a stock Mustang LS from Ford and having a machine shop modify it.
I prefer clutchless limited slips but this is the only option for the super 8.8 https://www.stage3motorsports.com/YC...ferential.html

Got it, thanks! It would appear that my options are getting fewer by the minute.

Good looking truck. I have the same truck with the XL and chrome package. Just waiting to find a take off set these 20" wheels and tires.
Needs some rear wheel well liners. I really like these plain. I wonder what the wheels would look like with meatier tires, painted black with the hubcaps wrapped with chrome or brushed look vinyl.
The wheel well liners is a good idea. I got around to installing them earlier today. They went in without incident and they look great.
While I was at it, I did a test fit of the 20" Ford alloy wheel.
The rear wheel fits in without any problems. I haven't tried the front as of yet. In the above picture, the rear of the truck is still up on jack stands. I have a set of the Ford lowering shackles that I will try to install while I have the truck up in the air.
