2021 F-150 XLT supercrew in leadfoot with 5.0
Truck looks amazing. I have an XLT supercrew in Leadfoot on Order. Dealer has the Fox 2” leveling kit waiting for me, but now I have a decision. 35x11.50 on the factory 20” sport wheels or 285/65/r20.

Here are the specs of the 285/65

I did a TON of research on the actual dimensions of the tires and ended up going with the 35x11.50 because they are slightly shorter. I’ll try to get some pictures tomorrow of tires at full lock and how close they are.

Hmm
There’s a thread here about that front plate bracket.
I have the 5.0 in mine and my front plate is mounted lower.
Just barely covers the bottom of the bumper.
A side shot of the bracket shows the bracket has small reliefs for the bumper and lower valance.
What does the side of your bracket look like?
No idea. That was the first thing that came off when I got it home that night and went into the garage. Sorry.

I went with the 2.25 level because I have a Buddy that went with the readylift 2021 level kit and he has the 285/65/20s BFG’s and he rubs at full lock.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see if my Geolanders rub. BFG is 34.6" by 11.5"; Geolander is 34.8" by 11.6". The 'fingers crossed' news is that another member is running Nitto Ridge Grappler's at 34.8" by 11.5" with no rub at full lock.

Thought I’d do a little build list as I go with pictures for fun and to answer any questions you may have about what I’ve done. I just picked up a Black XLT Sport 4x4 Supercrew with the 5.0 couple days ago and I couldn’t be happier with it so far. Truck can’t stay stock for long. I do EVERYTHING on my vehicles myself, so I can answer any questions about the installs as well. Let’s get started.

First thing that had to be done was get that hideous license plate bracket off the front of the truck. Here in Georgia we aren’t regulated to have a front license plate.

Before:

Did you look for rust underneath the body? Keep eye on it. There has been a lot with rusty undercarriage.

That’s not good to hear. I have the 2” RL kit and was plan on doing 285/65/20 RG. I heard they didn’t rub. ??‍♂
