Your OEM Scorpion, may have been lighter than you calculated as well. Tirerack shows a weight of only 39 pds for the Scorpion ATR, SL rated anyway. If that's the tire you started with, that's 18 pounds per corner, lighter than the replacement. That's a pretty significant difference at 72pds...

You may have been intending to point this one out here, but the term "baby boomers" refers to the first generation born AFTER WWII. To your point, the boomers were the generation that fought in Vietnam, protested Vietnam, often protested for civil rights, and introduced the world to the...

That is odd, wasn't aware they were taking step backwards. Could it be a misprint? I do remember something similar on Mustangs way back, but I think it was less of a difference. If I recall correctly (and I may not), hp lowered between the 225 hp outgoing, 93 Mustang GT to something like...

May try this too, even for paint swirl marks. I like Griot's tire black as well

Thanks for the feedback All! Does seem like these overlays may be the best solution to prevent them from getting worse, and hide what's there. Apart from ignoring it that is, which is what I did on my 2 previous F150s. Only did the first wash yesterday, on my "new to me" 23 Platinum. Used...

Anyone have a good tip for this? Had a couple of previous F150's, and they all ended up collecting a ton of swirl marks/micro scratches on these panels. Hoping to avoid making it worse on my current one. I always use the two bucket method when washing, and start with freshly cleaned washmits...

Hello again! I'm back in an F150, after owning a Bronco Wildtrak for a couple of years. The Bronco was a ton of fun, but I missed the room, quietness, and flexibility of a crew cab pickup. Was on here previously with a 21 Powerboost XLT. Moved from that to the Bronco, and now to a 23...

Nice. My mpg has taken a definite hit, about 1-2 mpg. To be expected considering the BFG's are quite a bit heavier than the stock Michelin's at 57 pds/tire.

It's been over a year, so thought I'd give a quick update to this ancient post. Went with the K02's anyway! Conservative set up compared to most, just a 2" Level with the KO2's on stock wheels, stock offset. I think they look a ton better than the stock tires.

I will check those out thanks! Initially, I was planning to go with the BFG K02's until I found out how heavy they were.....

Also thinking of upgrading the tires on my XLT PB, 302A after having done a 2" level a while back. Came stock with the Michelin Primacy XC's (275/65/18), which weigh only 38pds according to tire rack. They're labeled as "all terrain" but are really more like a all season, highway tire. Tires...

It's a good question. I haven't had any issues with mine yet in almost a year (apart from the guages resetting, and the recalls), and it's been what I hoped so far. I do usually get a little ancy after 2-3 years for something different, and like to trade when I have the most equity to roll...

The fun part is that the boost gauge, along with other configured gauges and my view selections will reset randomly. I have to reconfigure mine once or twice a week. Does anyone know if any of the updates have resolved that?

I've gotten the same notices for my 21. Had the drive shaft work done, I suppose I got lucky with parts for that one. Noticed on my last tow that my brake controller didn't seem to be working, but it wasn't a huge deal as I only tow a pop up camper (about 2K pds fully loaded). Still want to...

Interesting, definitely not pretending to be a suspension expert, so I'm sure there's some things I don't know here. My ride definitely got firmer after the level though.

How could it not compress the coil? You're adding an immovable, extra space between the coil spring and it's chassis mount, without changing the total travel distance. This "preloads" (or compresses the spring). The coil has no where to go.

There's a channel on youtube called "Stangmode" who has a few videos drag racing his powerboost on a public dragstrip. The powerboost won most of the races he was in I think.

Added a 2" level (Readylift "pucks") to my XLT Powerboost recently. Still on stock wheels and tires (275/65/18). It's much stiffer than before. Still not a bad ride, and it does corner better, but I do miss the cushy, stock, ride. From what I understand, a puck kit will always result in a...

It is possible to reach and even exceed the EPA ratings on certain trips that play to the system's strengths. This is my commute, "city" route. A lot of redlights, mostly on roads with 35-45 mph speed limits. You will be hard pressed to get this kind of mileage driving like everyone else in...

2nd the experience of a 1970s Caddy ride. I actually really liked it as it gave a really good ride off-road as well as on. Didn't really buy this vehicle as a "canyon carver", so didn't mind the roll on-road. That was all before installing a 2" readylift level on the front. Now a completely...
