Things you should know before lifting your truck and offsetting the wheels : 1.- Dynamics of the car gets worst, higher center of gravity. 2.- Gas consumption gets worst. 3.- Riding quality gets worst. 4.- Heavy erosion on your fenders and every single surface the wheels are projecting debris to.

Thanks for your video as it confirmed my assumptions. I passed on buying, for the reasons you mentioned here, an F150 Lariat that my local dealership had seriously modified similarly to yours. Instead I bought a stock ecoboost F150 Lariat as my intended use was mostly long distance highway driving where fuel economy, range and cabin noise were considerations. Also, it needs to fit in a residential garage during hurricane events.

@remichie 3 года назад

Auto Blog, you hooked me with your past Ford builds that I followed some of your tips. I added a Rough Country 6" Coil-over Vertex lift on '19 F150 running 37x12.50/R20 with a -19mm offset. 3.5L Ecoboost does just fine.

@harryseeto 3 года назад

Loving the Videos Michael, especially this truck! I keep watching you doing hole shots and got me thinking, you could have mentioned, when putting larger wheels on the truck, have a drivetrain shop replace the gears in the differential in the front and back, if they were not done already. This will give you more torque and you will feel like you got some of the 50 Horsepower back. May improve the gas mileage you lost. I went a little bigger on tires on my 2004 F150 and I felt a difference. I took my old truck to the drivetrain shop and had them install 4.10 gears from the stock gears. Now my gas mileage improved and I got a lot of the torque back, better hole shots! :D Someday I hope I can get a new truck like yours! Congrats! Stay Happy and Safe, be well!

It’s really easy to bring your stock MPG back after lift, I first hand have done and owned it. 2004 FX4 crew cab with 5.4 V8. Ran 325/65r18 N 325/60r18 tires with 3.73, mpg sucked. I regeared it to 4.10 (I wished I went with 4.56 personally). Changed air intake to Air Raid Ram, tuned with Bank Power (I’d suggest to take it to your independent tuning shop to set your ECM to do much better than any programmer if you’re not worried about warrant). Since you’re running 35” tires, I highly recommend regearing it to 4.56, you’d be much happier with it and get some MPG back. My average highway cruising was 18 mpg, city 15, tow 27ft RV, 6,000 lbs boat, etc etc.

@doogster2010 3 года назад

Good info there. I have a '14 4x4 with the naturally aspirated 3.7 V-6 and a factory prepped bi-fuel CNG conversion kit, 3.73 rear axle. 265 70 17 stock wheels. The two fuel tanks hold about 55 gallons combined. I love the truck and before I did a couple of minor mods was getting 21 mpg. I did a 1.5" front lift and added some coils over the rear axles for haul capacity. I'd like to add bigger tires, maybe about 32". I did note a bit more wind resistance with the front end hike and a loss of maybe 2 mpg. But, I like the look much better, as the stock rake isn't as nice looking, though the truck handled fine in stock mode. So, if I get a little taller, meatier tires will I lose more mpg? I'm thinking so. But, ya know, with the natural gas, which I can fuel up at home cheaply, mpg isn't that big of a deal. If we want a cheap ride I guess we'd drive a Nissan Leaf or Chevy Bolt. Maybe for my second car. Thanks for the honest videos. Reality is a good thing. Your comments are most welcome and appreciated.

Hopefully gets a bit better mpg. Hwy before was getting 25 mpg. Now I get around 20 mpg highway because of the wheels and lift air drag. That 2021 interior though is 🔥. And your right. Your building it to your liking. 👍

I have a 2018 F-150 with a 6 inch lift on 35s and 20x12s and mine is the same way, you can tell the weight of the wheels really bring down the mpg and HP. Also with the front bumper being trimmed, that's because on your old truck you had an aftermarket front bumper that was low profile, so it didn't hang down so low so the tires never rubbed on it.

@KosmicHRTRacingTeam 3 года назад

Seems like it also takes away from off roading capabilities, at least on trails and forest areas. Kind of seems weird to have such a capable truck (I assume it’s 4wd) and being full size, it’s already super wide and difficult to take 4 wheeling, but now you just made it even worse. Also, why the freak does someone have to drive so far to get wheels and a lift done? He calls it a “build”, i guess that’s the cool terminology, but this is just extremely basic modifications that any shop should be able to do.

I hope they calibrated the speedometer for the different (larger) tires. Also, when you lift a truck, you need to think about your front axles and them no longer being straight and putting extra wear & tear on the joints.

@teovm 3 года назад

The front crash bar is helping the wheel not enter the passenger compartment too. So for me this is a safety consirn. But this lift looks really good. Also the exhaust is just perfect. I'm on your wife's side on this. The last one was just too loud, this one is spot on. Can you check on some wide body kits. It will be an interesting mod.
