Debating on lift / tire combos for my 22 2.7l

[TCmedic]

Hey all! FINALLY got my Space White 22 XLT 302a 2.7L/4x4/3.55 Supercrew in!!!
already put on my matte black method NVs from my 18, wheel well liners and tailgate letters so far. Next up is color matching all my emblems etc.

the reason for this thread is……leveling coilovers choices/ tire sizes.

I’m stuck between 2 companies.

fox for the 2.0s
Eibach for the 2.0s

I know eibach can net more lift… but I might stay around 2-2.25 anyway. Fox is the only company besides ICON who came out with a new coilover for the 21+. Eibach said they tested theirs and that’s why it’s a carryover.

next up… should I go 275/70/18, lighter but smaller… or 295/70/18. Fill the wheel well out more? Stage 3 told me the new wheel wells are bigger and can fit bigger combos!

Thanks in advance everyone!

I did the rear FOX 2.0, and the 295/70/18 Nitto Recons. Looks and rides great BTW, I had a Readylift 2" level too.

You have a picture?! Rubbing?

If I may ask what size wheel and tire did your 22 come with? Reason being is if you are not using any computer tuner or device to correct actual speed you will have an error in how fast you are running. The 295 tire is roughly 34.3 inches tall and 11.6 inches wide. The 275 tire is 33.2 inches tall and 10.8 inches wide. This will vary by manufacture too

It came with 18s. The standard 275/65/18 which is a 32 inch tire I believe. I know I’ll have to get it recalibrated for sure

A 285/60/18 keeps you within the limits. As for the Fox 2.0 I have on my Roush, Its actually kind of firm compared to factory FX4. But the ride might get better with a little more miles on it to break in.
