How much rake does this leave? Really like the higher ride height but it looks like it also still leaves some rake

Depending on the method used, a 2" front level only will likely leave about a 1-1.5" rake. I did 2.5" level on mine (FX4) and it's got a .5-.75" rake. I don't tow all that often and can still can put a fair bit of weight in the back without too much rear squat.

Just upgraded my tires from Dynapros to Nokian Outpost nAT's...Love the look and ride so far. Haven't put many miles on them yet but don't hear much noise from them and I am sure the mileage will suffer some but no numbers yet. Stock wheels/ride height and 1.5 inch spacers

New tire time. 2021 F-150 5.0 Lariat. Huge rake on this thing. I bought a 2.5 level kit from S3M now I am looking at tires. Staying with the stock +44 offset rims. Anyone running a 285/75/18 on their 2021? Looks like the width gets a little over 3/16" closer to the control arm per the TireSize.com calculator. Looking to see if they'll fit with no cutting.

I just installed a set of these on my beater f350, pretty awesome size.

Someone just posted they were running that size with bfg's. I want to say in the "what did you to (or with) your f150" thread. It's a skinny tire, i think you'll be ok. Guy's run thicker ones on stock wheels, like 295/70-18's.

Next size up would be a 35X12.50R18. I think that would hit the UCA.

Pull the measured size for the specific tire. Not all tires measure the same.

My 285/70/18s are larger than some 75s.

I’m running 285/75R18 Nokian Outpost nAT on stock rims with the Bilstein 5100s set to 1.5”. No rub, no scrub, no issues. They definitely make more noise than the stock Goodyears, but that’s with the radio off. I can’t hear them past volume 6. The ride isn’t stiff at all despite going to an E rated tire. The turning effort is also strangely less and the truck feels more nimble, which is an unexpected bonus. 10/10 would recommend.

The slightly larger Firestones do fill out the wheel wheels a touch better but I think it is only noticable if you're looking for it.

Curious long term update on mileage. Did you see any mileage drop from the spacers prior to the tires?

Hey, well unfortunately I don't drive that much so haven't put very many miles on them. As far as lost mpg's only going by the truck computer maybe lost 1 mpg? Like I said real hard to say as I live less than 2 miles from work and just haven't put that many miles on them. I will say I still really like the way they look and feel on the road. I can hear a little bit of road noise with them but nothing that bothers me. Sorry just re-read your question....no I did not notice any mileage decrease with the spacers. I had them on my 2012 for many years and didn't notice any decrease there either.

Echoing @Steelerz1 - I also did not experience a noticeable drop in mileage after the Bilstein 1.5” lift, it’s been installed for a couple years now. Back in August, before the tyres, I did a trip around New England with a bunch of highway miles and averaged around 22-23mpg over 1000 miles (running premium fuel). I haven’t been able to take any long drives to see the impact on mileage from the new tyres. Around town seems about the same though.

I switched to the same tire on 17 inch raptor rims and have lost pretty significant mileage I believe for no increase in diameter over the factory 20s. Lost about 3 to 4 miles per gallon so for some of the long trips I do thinking about doing something different. The tire is actually one of the lightest in that size for an AT but the rim is just as heavy as the factory 20 inch. The tire store said the offset was messing me up too as it sticks out some.
