Install 2" Rough Country Levels on my 2015 F-150 Super Crew with long bed then put on Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT All-Season LT315/70R17 on stock wheels. No Rubbing what so ever. With Wheel Alignment rides perfect.
I have the rough country 2” lift as well. Just bought 295/70r18 the Falken AT3W. I should be good right? I figured the BF Goodrich would be hella big lol.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 i just put the leveling kit and those tires on yesterday and it makes my truck look like a real truck now. Insane how a little plastic set of pucks and some more rubber can make you love your truck even more!
On my 2018 Ford F-150, (2 inch level), I’ve got Toyo Open Country in 295 70r 18’s. No sweat/no rub. Look like Big Boy tires and people love the look. Me too!!
I have a ‘17 F150 Super Crew with a 2.5in level kit and Toyo 295/60R20 tires and +22 offset Fuel wheels and no spacers. They are 34in tall with 11.6in of tread on the road with no modifications and no rubbing. They are essentially flush with the fenders with maybe a 1/4-1/2in sticking out. I have a bit more clearance than he does. I would thing he might rub if turning over a bump. Nice vid, thanks
Great tires. You made out pretty good. I've run those on my last truck, and will be again on my new truck soon. Only negative is they get louder and louder as they wear.
MosT aggressive tires do, my 35” nitto trail grapps are mud terrain tires so they are already pretty noisy but have been getting louder as of recent, but I love the hum so
When you get that front end down in a ditch or big mud hole and turn the tires they will rub being that close. Just sitting on level ground turning the steering wheel without a load of course they won't rub.
Truck looks sweet! I have had several leveled f150’s over the years and always put a 1” block in the rear to keep the factory rake. Keep up the good work
I have a 2019 F150 crew cab. Just had a rough country 2" level lift installed on the front and had 295/70/17 MasterCraft Courser MXT put on with no rubbing.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 Yes, they are a touch smaller, I was worried they would rub. My truck is identical to yours, same color as well. Only difference is I have 17 inch rims. Your video was what convinced me in doing mine. Lol.
So I watched your video and pretty much did exactly what you did. Same tires same spacers but I went with a 2.5 mammoth leveling kit. I love the set up. The tires are awesome. I just got the tires on today.
I just got a 2018 lariat. I want to basically do exactly what you did to yours and keep the stock rims. I’ve done zero upgrades. I want to do 2” leveling kit, 1.5” spacers and get a bed cover and a cool air intake.
I'm putting 295/70/18's on my 2018 with Bilstien 5100 leveling struts on top notch. Going to be running 18x9 wheels with 0 offset/5 backspacing. From what I've found, it should work with minor plastic trimming. Going from stock +44 offset to 0 pushes the wheel out 1.68". Should clear everything in the back fine but the poke creates wider turn radius so it'll probably rub the plastic in fender well. We'll see soon!
This is exactly what I'm doing! Would you say the upper control arm clearance, between the arm and tire is about 2"? I'm wanting this set up but also wanting to run chains. The 44 offset with 275x65 was not enough clearance. Going to 295x70r18 but can't decide between 0 offset and negative 19. Want plenty of room for chains but like you said don't want to have alot more trimming do to larger swing radius.
It doesn't surprise me you need wheel spacers. I think that's the one thing people overlook when they install these leveling kits. Everyone is concerned about tire height, not taking into consideration that taller tires usually bring additional width with them. I bet that upper control arm clearance is almost non existent. Truck looks great, though. Probably don't need terribly large spacers to eliminate the rub. My 2020 F150 came with P275/55 R20's, though I plan on swapping them for LT285/60 R20s after it's leveled. Good thing you realized the rub issue early on. Once the spacer issue is resolved, I'm sure that truck is gonna some fun riding.
Thanks for this video. I went with a similar set up 2.25" readylift leveling kit, 34" x11.5" cooper st maxx, 1.5" spacers and rear blocks delete. Looks great tires stick out barely 1/2" and it rides really well
I recently bought a 2018 F-150 XLT, looking to level truck and upgrade tires. I absolutely love that set up, what are the names of the exact rims and exact tires? and how much did it all cost?
Looks good man! Bone stock on my 2013 F150 4x4 I managed to fit 285/65r18’s with no issues. I’m going to level it this summer and should have a little extra room to go at least one size bigger. 👍
That's awesome, and I'd love to do the same, but I'm just wondering what's different about your truck that keeps yours from rubbing without a level or lift? That tire is 34.6" tall and 12.6" wide. All the other videos are saying those will rub on a stock F150...
Have no idea why they don’t. Maybe since I bought the rims and tires used and are not at brand new height on tire. When it’s time to get new tires I’ll find out when I leave discount tire.
Those look great! Surprised wider than 275 fit, but those are factory wheels. I have 20in wheels and want to drop to 18, but I may have to stay at 275 since most aftermarket wheels are going to push out 1" due to most being 18mm to 25mm offsets when I'm 44mm now. Thanks for the video. LOL just watch the last little bit, and saw that they rubbed. So maybe that extra bit of offset in most aftermarket rims would help.
If you dont want to use the 1/2in spacers you could go with 285/75/18 and they should be ok. They are .6 taller but .4 thinner so it wouldnt rub the uca sometimes
@@TheNolesfan94 I'm not having any issues with them as of yet but the spacers have only been on for about a week...approx. 500mi. To go that big with a tire and just a level without cutting anything I cant change rims unless it is the exact same size. Any offset gives me the uca clearance but pushes it out too far that I'd have to do some cutting/trimming. I got the spacers from American trucks..coyote brand. I believe $40 with shipping.
Not sure about the Cooper STT in this size but if you want a little taller but just a little bit narrower you can go with LT285/75R17....they are 33.9" tall.
Damn thing looks sweet just as it sits. I usually don't like the white letters out or those factory wheels but they look damn good with the white truck.
Not sure what I want to do with mine yet. I ordered a Fox 2.0 leveling kit already, but do I stick with the stock 20” Rims or go aftermarket? Prob going for 295/65r20 Toyo or Nitto, really like the design of the Toyo RT. I had a level on my 16 2500HD Silverado, ran 305/75R17 Toyo AT2, with Vision off road rims, and it was Solid. Not sure what Wheel/Tire combo to go with on my F150.
I have the same truck/package , 2020, same rims. Considering doing a level kit and using the same tire size - were you able to get rid of all rubbing and clearance issues with using the spacers?
Thanks for the video. Putting a 2” level kit in my 2018 F-150. Going with the Nitto Ridge Grappler. But still debating between the 295/70 18 and the 285/75 18. Are you still liking your setup? The 285/75 is a little larger diameter, but not quite as wide, and I’m wondering how the two different tires look.
2019 F150 XLT Crew Cab...so I could run a 2in Southern Truck level and 285/75/R18 just fine without trimming or spacers? And would I need a trans/speedo recal?
I have a 2018 F-150 sport with a 2.5 mammoth leveling kit, I’m wanting to put 285/70r18 rigid grapplers on my stock wheels like yours they equal out to a 34x11.5 will I be able to run them with no rubbing??
@@jeremyjones3286 finding the money for it is the hardest part to me. Everything I've done but the tires, bull bar and floor mats have been under $50 each.
@@jeremyjones3286 they were long enough but just barely. You need at least 6 full turns and I believe I got 8. But you could just get longer lugs, they have a longer end to screw on between the rim. I'm still debating on getting them just to be on the safer side. I will say I've put probably about 1500miles on them and have no issues so far. Just make sure you tighten with the star pattern and go back and retighten after 50-100miles or so.
Very nice looking truck, sir. I'm trying to decide between 18" vs 20" wheels for some 34" tires. What are the pros and cons of one wheel size over the other?
im going to give you an honest answer, id take my advice with a grain of salt....i like 18s due to there being more tire with the truck but you may be able to get a bigger tire with 20s and it would be better due to possibly being lighter than the same size on an 18. the lighter the tire the better it is for the truck(gas mileage and power wise)
Hey there - great video and awesome truck. I'm getting my '20 leveled this week, and was hoping to go with 295/70/18s as well. Could you please provide information on the spacers that you went with and how everything worked out? Thank you!
The new Cooper tires made your truck look more aggressive and I like it a lot. I have a 2017 F150 XLT Sport with no lift kit and I want to change my OEM 265/60 R18 to either a 275/70 R18 or 285/70 R18 using the same wheel. Is that doable? Recommendations?
What kind of mpg are you now down to with this set up? What was it before. I avg 23 all week long to and from work. Im so afraid to get bigger tires and rims and then suffer my mpg go to like 18 or lower.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 oh wow!! Damn,.I can't afford to drive around with those numbers. My wallet would suffer heavily. I drive far for work each day. Plus my wife would kill me if she new I was pulling more money out just for gas,..all due to larger tires etc. I guess I'll up grade my stereo system at least lol. Thx for the feedback man. Love your truck!
@@mikel6787 no problem! And thank you I really appreciate that!!! You could always grab a pair of nitto terra grappler g2 in 6 ply, they wouldnt be anywhere nearly as bad.
Is that a 5.0 ? I had a 5.0 that was a 2017 it was great but the 2018 to 2020 has a oil consumption problem and some kind of knock so Iv been looking at the 3.5 eco boost
Dude that looks awesome! I’m assuming on those OEM 18”s you weren’t getting any poke or they were flush with the wheel well? Did u end up putting hub/wheel spacers? If so, what size did you go with? I’m asking because I have a 2021 on the way with 18”s and I want to add the same size tire. I would also have 2.5 level kit in the front. Nice ride brother!
Looks AWESOME! That is what I want to do with my new 2020. I heard you have to have the transmission re-programmed after putting larger diameter tires on it or it will start shifting funny, Did you have to do that? Have you had any shifting issues?
That is entirely false. Now if you go up crazy then yes absolutely you'd have to. Just a level, up to 35in tires its not a worry. At 37in id look into changing the gears.
Question, has your gas mileage been affected by adding the larger tires and level kit? I have a 2022 eco-boost and wondering if adding the larger tires and level will affect gas mileage
Im getting ready to install same size but in a michelin defender.....i like smooth and quite! I also have a 2"leveling kit installed, think i will have any rubbing issues?
That’s a great looking truck! I have the same year/trim/color and also thinking of installing a level kit. My question is, will a 2.5 in level kit help to avoid the rubbing? And what’s you MPG? Thanks in advance.
No, actually that would probably make it worse as it would push the uca out just a little more at that angle. After the video I looked into it more and I have about 1/4in. between the tire and uca, it's just bumps at a turn I believe it rubs. I have 1/2spacers coming Monday so I can drive it again. I just wouldnt get such a wide tire, mine is 11.6. Anything under that and there wouldnt be any issues at all. As for the mpg I havent driven it but a couple miles getting it aligned due to the rubbing n not wanting to mess with anything but before the tires it didnt really change much at all. I maybe lost 1-1.5mpg if that with the level n air dam removal.
If money isnt that big of a deal if I were you I would just go with a 3 or 4inch lift instead of a level. The full kit comes with new uca and then prolly wouldnt be an issue at all.
Thanks for your response, I just got back from Discount Tire and they are telling me that with a 2.5 in leveling kit I can put 295/70 r18... in fact he showed me Nitto Ridge Grappler. I’m tempted to go to a different DT and ask the same question...
O they will fit, mine fit it's just 1/4in from uca and rubs on bumps with turning. When discount was done with mine he said good to go no rubbing....yea ok. But the place was great n their life time stuff with the tires are a deal. Look into 285/75. U get .5 more on the height, .4 less on the width n only .3 on the diameter so u still shouldnt be rubbing at all but gives you more of a gap for the uca.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 Do you know if adding UCA would fix the rubbing issue. I have a 2016 F150 FX4 with a 2 1/2" ProComp level kit running stock 275/65/18. I'm planning on putting bigger tires after these wear out.
Beautiful truck! I want to go with the same setup as yours but wanted to know if you had any problems with gearing or any mpg decrease? Mine is a 2016 sport 2.7 ecoboost
Hi you mentioned in one of your previous videos about a rattle that you had in your 5.0Just wondering if ever figured it out and if it was fixed? I believe my 2019 is having the same issue
Do you have the specs for the wheel (offset , backspacing ) - I’m putting 2.5 leveling kit and looking for wheels but worried about fitment .- I need the wheel with negative off set to poke out a little as I have fenders flares
This is stock wheels, the rims would depend in the size of the tires and if you dont want rubbing. The best place to look is custom offsets gallery. It's a fitment gallery, you put in your year, level/ lift, size tires and it'll show what fits
WickedF150 any rubbing after the spacers went on? They were 1/2” correct? Would you run the same tire size on a rim with a -12 offset instead of the +44 of the stock rim? That’s about a 2” poke compared to stock wheels.
@@flyboynextdoor nope, no issues after adding the spacers. I believe they were 1/2in yes. But no definitely could not run that size with a negative offset unless you cut/trim a good bit. With that size on a level youd be pushing it at a +12offset
I’ve burned through 3 sets of those very tires in less than 70,000 miles. I just put a set of nittos last week and discount knocked off $500 cause I gave them hell for selling those crappy tires. Good luck!

@@jeremyjones3286 they were long enough but just barely. You need at least 6 full turns and I believe I got 8. But you could just get longer lugs, they have a longer end to screw on between the rim. I'm still debating on getting them just to be on the safer side. I will say I've put probably about 1500miles on them and have no issues so far. Just make sure you tighten with the star pattern and go back and retighten after 50-100miles or so.
New tires look sick
what max size tire can you put on the stock rim without spacers? +44 offset
Very nice looking truck, sir. I'm trying to decide between 18" vs 20" wheels for some 34" tires. What are the pros and cons of one wheel size over the other?
im going to give you an honest answer, id take my advice with a grain of salt....i like 18s due to there being more tire with the truck but you may be able to get a bigger tire with 20s and it would be better due to possibly being lighter than the same size on an 18. the lighter the tire the better it is for the truck(gas mileage and power wise)
@@WICKEDAUTO1 what size are your rims?
@@hefferss2k668 mine are 18s. They are the factory sport rims.
Hey there - great video and awesome truck. I'm getting my '20 leveled this week, and was hoping to go with 295/70/18s as well. Could you please provide information on the spacers that you went with and how everything worked out? Thank you!
Did you ever get the level and the 295/70r18 did it rub also ?
What spacers did you end up with?
did u rub after???
I’m getting these installed next week, along with a 2.5 lvl and 2 inch spacers
Just so your aware, you will have to cut a lot to fit that
@@WICKEDAUTO1 because of the spacers? I’ve seen multiple people run this tire with a 2.5 lvl and no issues. Stock rims.
Is there an update video with spacers? It looks really good. I’m gonna do the same. Thank you
Spacers will make it look more aggressive anyways.. I think i'm going that route with the same size lift and tires.
The new Cooper tires made your truck look more aggressive and I like it a lot. I have a 2017 F150 XLT Sport with no lift kit and I want to change my OEM 265/60 R18 to either a 275/70 R18 or 285/70 R18 using the same wheel. Is that doable? Recommendations?
285/70r18 fits a 4x4 no problem not sure about the rear drives tho
Check out CZ video on it
added 295/70/18 to my leveled 2019 f150 on stock does not rub anywhere cleared UCA got rough country 2inch level
What kind of mpg are you now down to with this set up? What was it before. I avg 23 all week long to and from work. Im so afraid to get bigger tires and rims and then suffer my mpg go to like 18 or lower.
Well in that I only hit 19-20 but with the level and tires it went down to 15-16
@@WICKEDAUTO1 oh wow!! Damn,.I can't afford to drive around with those numbers. My wallet would suffer heavily. I drive far for work each day. Plus my wife would kill me if she new I was pulling more money out just for gas,..all due to larger tires etc. I guess I'll up grade my stereo system at least lol. Thx for the feedback man. Love your truck!
@@mikel6787 no problem! And thank you I really appreciate that!!! You could always grab a pair of nitto terra grappler g2 in 6 ply, they wouldnt be anywhere nearly as bad.
So what would you recommend for tire size? I have the same leveled truck.
looks awesome like the white letters outside
looks great. im trying to decide what size im going with
I run previously cooper Discovery very nice looking but very short life out of these tires, switched to toyos waht a difference
Go with 35.12.50.18 they will fit keep that +44 stock offset no crash bar removed
Odd how some people say 35x12.5 fit with no rub but my 34x12 rubbed
What spacer size did you end up having to go with?
295 fit on those stock rims? What's the widest you can go?
What were the original size wheels ? My 2016 lariat 2wd looks ugly with the tiny tires
Is that a 5.0 ? I had a 5.0 that was a 2017 it was great but the 2018 to 2020 has a oil consumption problem and some kind of knock so Iv been looking at the 3.5 eco boost
He had the 5.0 and had major problems with it and then he got this truck after a long dispute with dealer. This one is the 2.7 EcoBoost
Dude that looks awesome! I’m assuming on those OEM 18”s you weren’t getting any poke or they were flush with the wheel well? Did u end up putting hub/wheel spacers? If so, what size did you go with? I’m asking because I have a 2021 on the way with 18”s and I want to add the same size tire. I would also have 2.5 level kit in the front. Nice ride brother!
Did you end up deciding on what size spacer?
Looks AWESOME! That is what I want to do with my new 2020. I heard you have to have the transmission re-programmed after putting larger diameter tires on it or it will start shifting funny, Did you have to do that? Have you had any shifting issues?
That is entirely false. Now if you go up crazy then yes absolutely you'd have to. Just a level, up to 35in tires its not a worry. At 37in id look into changing the gears.
Good set up, hows driving on the highway? Thanks
Question, has your gas mileage been affected by adding the larger tires and level kit? I have a 2022 eco-boost and wondering if adding the larger tires and level will affect gas mileage
Yes it does. Varies from tire to tire but probably loose 2-4 mpg. Speedometer will be off a bit too
Im getting ready to install same size but in a michelin defender.....i like smooth and quite! I also have a 2"leveling kit installed, think i will have any rubbing issues?
did u have any issues?
You think 1/2” spacers will do the trick for this set up??
Is the truck lifted or leveled? Looks really nice.
A 2in motofab level. It has settled since to where I have just a little rake. Thank you!
That’s a great looking truck! I have the same year/trim/color and also thinking of installing a level kit. My question is, will a 2.5 in level kit help to avoid the rubbing? And what’s you MPG? Thanks in advance.
No, actually that would probably make it worse as it would push the uca out just a little more at that angle. After the video I looked into it more and I have about 1/4in. between the tire and uca, it's just bumps at a turn I believe it rubs. I have 1/2spacers coming Monday so I can drive it again. I just wouldnt get such a wide tire, mine is 11.6. Anything under that and there wouldnt be any issues at all. As for the mpg I havent driven it but a couple miles getting it aligned due to the rubbing n not wanting to mess with anything but before the tires it didnt really change much at all. I maybe lost 1-1.5mpg if that with the level n air dam removal.
If money isnt that big of a deal if I were you I would just go with a 3 or 4inch lift instead of a level. The full kit comes with new uca and then prolly wouldnt be an issue at all.
Thanks for your response, I just got back from Discount Tire and they are telling me that with a 2.5 in leveling kit I can put 295/70 r18... in fact he showed me Nitto Ridge Grappler. I’m tempted to go to a different DT and ask the same question...
O they will fit, mine fit it's just 1/4in from uca and rubs on bumps with turning. When discount was done with mine he said good to go no rubbing....yea ok. But the place was great n their life time stuff with the tires are a deal. Look into 285/75. U get .5 more on the height, .4 less on the width n only .3 on the diameter so u still shouldnt be rubbing at all but gives you more of a gap for the uca.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 Do you know if adding UCA would fix the rubbing issue. I have a 2016 F150 FX4 with a 2 1/2" ProComp level kit running stock 275/65/18. I'm planning on putting bigger tires after these wear out.
I know this is an old video. With that said, can you fit a 34 inch tire in the spare tire well?
gotta ask, whats the height from the ground to roof? maybe ill get this set up if it will fit in my garage... but looks nice man
Running a set of 275/70/18 KO2's on mine
Do they make alot of noise while riding
Good info you answered a lot of questions.
Question - have you done any recalibration of the speedometer/shifting points etc?
Yes, with forscan
Truck looks great 👍 did you have to use the leveling kit to avoid rubbing or was it just for aestheics? Have you put it on a ramp?
What size wheel spacers did you need?
Do you think I can fit 295s on 2019 f150 with no leveling kit?
Could you please link to the 1/2” spacer you used? Thanks for the review.

Hi! Did the spacers take care of the rubbing issues on the control arm?
@@WICKEDAUTO1 How did they work out for you?
Does it fit in your garage?
They look really nice! Did you have to get a level kit for the front ?
Yes, had a 2in level and 1/2 spacers for them to fit without rubbing the uca
@@WICKEDAUTO1 thank you
Beautiful truck! I want to go with the same setup as yours but wanted to know if you had any problems with gearing or any mpg decrease? Mine is a 2016 sport 2.7 ecoboost
I definitely lost mpg, about 5-6 so getting about 17 highway, 15 combined but with my 19 2.7 I got 20-21 highway.
@@WICKEDAUTO1 thanks and what about the road noise are they loud?
@@fabiog2736 there is definitely some noise to them but I wouldnt say they are too loud no.
Any lift kit ? And what year truck
I want this set up but have a low parking garage at work. Can you measure your overall height?
Actually did that for another subscriber and I believe it came out to 6'7 or 6'8 at the top.
Hi you mentioned in one of your previous videos about a rattle that you had in your 5.0Just wondering if ever figured it out and if it was fixed? I believe my 2019 is having the same issue
Nope, never fixed. Returned as lemon law, other videos on it
How does it ride after level and tires.
Trucks looking awesome buddy
Good looking set of tires bro!
Beautiful truck man
Did your acceleration get effected?
Do you have the specs for the wheel (offset , backspacing ) - I’m putting 2.5 leveling kit and looking for wheels but worried about fitment .- I need the wheel with negative off set to poke out a little as I have fenders flares
This is stock wheels, the rims would depend in the size of the tires and if you dont want rubbing. The best place to look is custom offsets gallery. It's a fitment gallery, you put in your year, level/ lift, size tires and it'll show what fits
WickedF150 any rubbing after the spacers went on? They were 1/2” correct? Would you run the same tire size on a rim with a -12 offset instead of the +44 of the stock rim? That’s about a 2” poke compared to stock wheels.
@@flyboynextdoor nope, no issues after adding the spacers. I believe they were 1/2in yes. But no definitely could not run that size with a negative offset unless you cut/trim a good bit. With that size on a level youd be pushing it at a +12offset
I’ve burned through 3 sets of those very tires in less than 70,000 miles. I just put a set of nittos last week and discount knocked off $500 cause I gave them hell for selling those crappy tires. Good luck!
Israel Alderete 70,000 each set or combined with the 3 sets?
Truck looks amazing👍👍
Nice! What size spacers did you install? I'm on the market for a leveling kit and new tire/wheels. Thanks in advance for the feedback.
I believe it was 1/2in spacer from American trucks
@@WICKEDAUTO1 fastest response ever on UA-cam.
I like the gray FX4 decals. 👍
Thank you! I couldnt stand the factory ones especially with blacking all the emblems.
What kind of mpg loss did you have moving to 34"?
Nice looking truck! Where did you get the gray FX4 decals?
Thanks man!!
They are only $23. U can find quite a few different colors/styles.

I couldn’t get 295s in the tire I wanted. So hopefully the 285/65/18 will still look this good.
