I think it's more about the Load Range on the tires. Didn't realize they changed it. The weight is only 500 lb different, or 125 lbs per tire. Negligible.

I pull a double axle boat trailer. It's about 5,500 lbs of boat/trailer a few times each summer. I forget the tongue weight, but it's around 500. Hasn't ever "felt" heavy behind the truck, and does have surge brakes.

Do the higher load tires D/E require higher pressures, or is it just that they can handle them with the extra load? I still want to drop pressures to 35-ish if I can for around town driving.

Thanks Justin. I have a programmer so I can adjust TPMS. I'll give it a shot today, and see how it feels.

I'm going to try it. Tires really ride great overall, but always trying to make things just a little better! Haha. I'll take it down to 38 and see how that feels first. I run load range E tires because I tow a boat quite a bit. 44 PSI seems like overkill for unloaded daily driving though. Thanks

Door sticker on Gen 2s is 38 psi, but Gen 1s is 44 psi. The weight difference is only 500lbs total. Does anyone know why? I'm thinking of dropping my street pressures from the 44 for less bounce in the rear. Maybe drop to 40 at least, but still wondering why the big drop from Ford. Thanks!

I do a lot of off-roading, in aired down situations. These tires were designed specifically for that. They flex and mold around obstacles better than any tire out there. Super tough sidewalls too. We have a lot of sharp rocks in our area of the desert. On the road they are quiet—not as quiet as...

Here are some pics of the new wheels, tires and Geiser springs. Left them on low perch. The trim rings are from OMF, center caps from Chief Machining. Installed camber bolt kit along with rebuilt shocks from Shocks by Hammer. Brian over at SBH is a great guy.

That's exactly what happened. I went back there and talked to the owner. He called the tech out and asked him if he let the air out, and he said "not that I recall." Anyway, he mentioned he used a pry bar to get them in, and that was all I needed to hear. You have to hang the suspension...

No, I didn't install them myself! LOL Ok folks, the good news is that my new wheels w/OMF drain-style rings, tires, shocks and springs are on, and the truck looks freaking awesome. I'll post pics after I wash it. Bad news is that I had to go through some BULL$HIZ in the process! Here's what...

I'm sure they do firm up with more pressure, but I'm also sure that adds load to the seals. Not sure if it would be worth the risk of premature wear.

Thanks for the reply. Reason I asked is that "stock pressure" is all over the place. Originally, it was listed somewhere around 240, but then Ford started recommending 200. I called Fox directly, and they are now recommending 200. Several known rebuilders with exchange programs use a range...

I've heard 200, all the way up to 250. Wondering who runs what, and why. Seems most run fronts/rears at the same pressure, but all input is welcome—Thanks!

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a26912015/ford-f-150-raptor-v-8-supercharged/ I'd "settle" for this one.

Wow, if they put a V8 in that thing I'm going to be so tempted...of course, the $80,000 price tag might help curb the enthusiasm.

That's correct. Eibachs are linear, Geysers are progressive. On the Gen 2s that may be the case. I think the Geysers give more than 2" on the Gen 2s. On my Gen 1 I'll get less than 2 inches of lift unless I go to mid-perch. The longer spring doesn't necessarily mean it will give more lift...

This is going to date me, but for about 5 seconds I was thinking "Eddie Bauer?" The original EB, haha.

I'm getting ready to install some Geyser Bros progressive springs on my Gen 1. The ride is pretty amazing, and will give you a safe couple inches of lift. Collars are really not the best way to go IMO, but I know a lot of people use them successfully. I hit the trails pretty hard, so the springs...

That's a lot of truck, and nice looking, for $19k. You could buy 2 trucks that way, and still be money ahead of most of us! Congrats!

Got it done! On order. This forum always gives me better ideas than I can come up with on my own!

LVSVT would be cool. The only people who get SVT are SVT owners, but it's still really cool because the 14 was the last one. Oh well! I'll leave it for someone else. LV4X4 it is!

Just ordered mine! All the more fun 5 character ideas I could dream up were taken. Not super creative, but I like it on the Vegas Golden Knights plate.

And let me tell you there's a lot of sin here!

Man, I love the cheap power gains you can get by tuning turbos! #JealousGen1Owner Bye the way, I have a JDM tune on my Gen 1 and it's a really great tune. They're good at what they do. I'll be ordering another tune from them when I install the whipple.
