Perfect wheel for this truck. Personally would have gone with a slightly less aggressive tire (trail grapps or something like that) but to each their own. Nice setup
Hi Buddy, Thank you so damn much for doing this video!! I've been planning to put a 5.5 in left on my Ford F-150 Lariat 1999, two wheel drive for over three months now! I already have the kit, wheels and tires! Seeing your Ford truck gives me a really good idea on what mine will look like! Thank You Again So much!!! Todd P.
Hey man, can you fit 35s on that 5.5 inch lift? Curious Bc I’m ordering my 5.5 for my truck and then gonna put 20x10 -24 wrapped in a 35 and wondering how well it will look
Hi B-raddaz, I'm not sure, I went with 33s and I had to trim the front finders a little. I used 17" Fuel wheels and Nitto Grapplers LT285/70R17, but after looking back I think I might could have went with 35s, maybe next time I just might. But a big thing to consider is the offset, and backspacing of the wheels, but that can be a little tricky! Being my first time doing something like this I didn't want to push it too far! I'm happy with how things turned out! If you put a front 5.5" lift on a two wheel drive It's going to change somethings, like tracking width by a inch and a half that doesn't sound like much but it can be. I ended up having to change out the upper control arms to get the camber to straighten up the wheels, to get the wheel to realign the alinement! Then I had to add 2 1/2" rear wheels spacers to get the right track width for the rear to front to line up, and have the right bulge. But a lot of that will depend on the width of tires and wheels you use and like I said the OFFSET of the wheels especially! I also lifted the rear with 3" block spacers and longer U-bolts. To look at the truck on leave ground it looks like it has a slight squat to it, and I really don't like squat, so my plan is to add 2 more inch's to the rear, here soon, and my truck has a camper shell on it, the weight of it may have robbed me 2" ! I bought the lift kit on Ebay and they have a lot to choose from, but please do the research before you do any modification to your truck, a lot depends on it!!!! I researched my project for a long time before I did anything!!!! It sounds like a lot to do, but not really, it's mostly planning!! So, good luck to you, have fun with it, because it can be worth it In the end!!!! Good luck, and I hope this has been helpful to you!! Todd P./USA
I love how even though the Chevy is louder, the Ford is still louder inside. Just goes to show the advancements in noise cancellation for in the interior have, well, advanced over the years
I know it’s been awhile since this video was posted, but did you have to use aftermarket upper control arm adjustment cams or did the stock hardware have enough adjustment to get it aligned?
Hey! Love the Larry videos as I just picked up a 97 F150 supercab flareside 4x4. Any issues with the hub bore on these wheels? I was looking at the 16x8s and it looks like they have an 87 mm hub bore and custom offsets shows the truck requiring an 87.1 mm hub bore. Any input would be appreciated. This video kind of has me leaning towards the 16x10s. Thanks
Doggo's always add joy to the vids. Not a Ford guy myself, but thats an admirable truck with the wheels. Baby Squat looks better with the current rims it has on instead of the new mudders... Thats just my opinion though..
Forgive me for being ignorant, would this size wheel fit a non lifted or leveled 99 f-150? Would like to get this set up then eventually get it lifted. Thanks!
Lets see how old Larry does in a mud hole or down a dirt trail. Looks beefy. Do you have a trac-lok rear end? Hopefully you do or he ain't doing much in the slippery shit with 2wd and open diff.
Saahhhh dude. Spindle lift on a 2wd pushes the wheel hubs out so that’s why the caps don’t fit. I got a 2005 ranger as well as the 18 Rado and just did a 3” spindle lift with 33” Toyo MTs and 16” black Pro Comp wheels looking just like your wheels. Looks good bud. Yeewww! 👌🏼🤘🏼2wd trucks better for prerunning anyways!
Where did you get them? I want to upgrade my 16 inch wheels on my 2001 f150 but I don’t want to spend an unsure amount for bigger wheels, Is there a link?
Problem is with these F-150's the factory tint is a mirror finish. You can put limo behind it but if you tint the front glass it doesn't match the back because of the mirror finish. I wanted to get an F-150 like this but I want one without OEM tinted glass so I can make the tint match without having to replace the back 3 windows.
Royaltybuiltco go to custom offsets, go to the tire section and put in ur info on the wheel size and what tire size u want and it will show all the tires that will fit
I say sell the graps an go a complete different route. Keep the bullet holes. Put some cooper cobras on the an do a 2/4 or 3/5 drop on it. Low an wide. Do something you really aint done before. You already got two lifted trucks. Do something old schoolish
