Hello from Texas

Welcome to FRF. Yeah, the dealer did you wrong putting 22s on there. On the bright side, I'm sure you can sell them to someone in the F150 community without an issue.

Congratulations! Welcome to FRF!

I would recommend swapping out those Eibach Springs for a set of SDI top hats to level out your R. It will perform and ride much better while also giving you added strength in the front suspensions weak OEM top hat.

And ditch those mall crawling 22’s…

22s are for the parking lot. Raptors are offroad play trucks. 17s give you a taller sidewall which plays into the suspension while off-roading.

Think of it this way. Would you fill the trunk of your GT500 with speakers and amps? Or would you upgrade the suspension to better handle the corners at the track?

Yup. Also

Bingo!

Is that just preference or something else to consider?

I wonder if the dealer should give you the oem wheels with your purchase, did you pay extra for the wheel they put on? I also think the oem wheels are worth more and look better to me. I've seen 24' Raptor R specific wheels for sale and they are going for a premium. I would call my sales rep and get them back.

Just spoke to the dealer. They are sending a tech out tomorrow to swap for the OEM wheel/tire setup. At least I have an air conditioned shop to do it in. I’m not going to mess with the Eibach stuff until I’ve had time to drive it. It’s been at my detailers since delivery getting XPEL PPF, GTechniq ceramic, and Exoshield windshield protection

Good move, if you don't like them you can easily flip them. They'll move faster than 22's, however I see the oversize wheels are popular in some parts of the country.

Nice. Now make sure that they don't install wheels off a 35.

We are swapped and much happier
