Just got my 2016 xl f150 sport 4x4. 3.5l ECOBOOST. Love it. 21 mpg. Got a hell of a deal.
Listen I purchased a 6 in lift for the dealer to install this week. I am looking for a all black wheel. Maybe with a 0 offset I don't want to nic up my truck cuz I do some dirt roads. These will be 35x1250r20.
Any idea on wheel?

Rough country 6 in suspension lift
KMC XD grenade 20x10 +1 offset
35x12.50r20
Truck is doing great drives great and it's rough at all. Honestly it feels better???.....
Here is the kicker. I was getting 20.5. Now I am getting 17 combined. My truck has the 3.55 with electronic locking diff.
Now for the power lose.... I can't tell of any. It just doesn't spin on acceleration as bad. I've gotten on it two or three times. Yes it pulls 35s over when the turbos spool up. I might should add this is a 3.5l Eco boost.
When I put 35s with a leveling kit on my 13 5.0 3.73 gear reg cab I noticed a large power lose. I assume the Eco boost feels more at home with a load. Miss that 5.0 sound.
Also the 5.0 seemed to pull harder and longer in the upper rpms.

Have you adjusted for larger tire size when making mpg calculations?
Yeah the boost sounds like crap. IMO. And it falls on its face in the higher rpms, the turbos are designed for low rpm range boost, for torque.

Is the any compensations I need to do from the factory specs

Truck looks great man, I'm planning on putting a full suspension lift on my 15 hopefully sooner than later (not enough clearance in the mud with just the levelling kit), haven't decided whether to go with a 4" or 6". Seeing yours makes me want to go with a 6" lol. Originally Posted by cumbersome101

Go with a 6. Mine with a 0 offset wheel rubs going down a hill. Just think the 4 in isn't going to be much higher than you level. RC seems to have a great ride quality. I am using Firestone MT. (That's was my best choice from dealer) go kumho kl 71 and be done. Look bad ass ride great best mileage I've seen and most important they will get out of that sticky Arkansas mud. Trust me

The dealership should have done an alignment after installing the lift. Originally Posted by cumbersome101
