- What's going on, guys?
So you may be wondering who I am
and I'm still Fuller, it's just that my beard is gone.
And this is Junior.
We got another episode of What Fits,
so this time we're doing the '09-14 Ford F150, as requested.
- (high voice) We're gonna do the small lift,
the middle lift, and the large lift.
(normal voice) So we're gonna break this down
and give you guys the leveling kit, small lift,
which is a four-inch lift,
and then a large lift, six-inch lift,
and what fits with minor plastic trimming on your '09-14,
or if you're looking at getting an '09-14 Ford F150.
- So you may be wondering how we figure this out
and how we know this and it's not because
we've installed 10,000 different lift kits.
- We're just super smart.
- But we have the gallery on our website,
customoffsets.com/gallery, it's got like 50,000 trucks
in it and it's got all the videos you need
to figure out what fits and we're just bringing that to you
in video format because it's simple,
and it's easy, and it tells you exactly
what you need in like 10 minutes.
- And you guys like seeing our faces.
- I don't know about that.
(Junior laughs)
- So starting with the leveling kit then,
leveling kits kinda range from a two-inch level
all the way up to like a three-and-a-half
is kinda the top of the leveling kit range,
but the most popular people are running
are a nine-wide, -12 offset, with a 33x12.5.
- [Fuller] So it's pretty cool that on the Fords,
that they do still have like a little bit
of a circular wheel well so you can actually fit 33s
on a level without doing crazy amounts of trimming.
Remember, this is only minor plastic trimming,
so you don't have to get in there and do
a full-blown NorCal mod like you'd have to on a Chevy,
and then the other thing I wanna mention too is,
you said nine-wide, but you didn't say the diameter,
and the reason why we do that is because
if you have a 20 or an 18,
- [Junior] Or a 24.
- [Fuller] Or a 24.
It doesn't impact what the fitment is
because it's just like, basically the height
of the wheel, if you know what I mean?
But first there's the width, which is
the nine-wide berth you were just talking about.
That's how wide it is.
So the two biggest factors that play into this
are the width, and the offset.
So how far your wheels are sticking out
is gonna really impact your turning radius
and then where those tires are hitting,
obviously the tire size being the next one that impacts it.
That is one where it does matter, height and width.
- And then, with that as well,
metric sizes, all of those are listed on our site.
So if you're confused and you're running like a 24x9
and they don't make a 33x12.5 or 24 type of thing,
you can see on the website, it takes
your metric conversions and tells you exactly
what it is to know that a 295x65 is a whatever,
because I'm bad at math but I can use
the gallery to figure that out,
so, it's all listed right there.
- Exactly.
- Jump up to four-inch lift, then?
- Yes.
- So the most common thing that people are running
on a four-inch lift on their 09-14 Ford F150s
is a
- Is a 10 wide -24 with a 33x12.5,
because I memorized it and Junior had to write it down.
So people are gonna be like, but they were running 33s
on the leveling kit, too.
So what changes here is, like I said,
the width and the offset.
So it's a 10-wide and they have a 24,
it means just putting it that much further outside,
because this is gonna stick out of your fenders,
whereas the nine-wides on there is just gonna be like
barely, like a little. - [Junior] It gives
a little poke, like the tread might poke,
but not like the actual wheel. - [Fuller] Right.
Like, up to an inch, maybe max.
- [Junior] Maybe, yeah.
- [Fuller] But the 10-wide's gonna give you closer to that
two-inch range outside of the fenders
on these '09-14 F150s, so a little more stance,
but that also then plays into, as you turn,
it's gonna run near the front, run in the back,
but with a little bit of minor plastic trimming,
you can clear the 10-wide, and they use 24s with 33x12.5s
on the four-inch lift.
- [Junior] And then we're also seeing in the gallery too,
people are running a 35 is pretty popular as well.
But we wouldn't suggest it just due to the fact
that you're gonna be doing a little more trimming.
It might not be metal trimming, but it'll be
a more aggressive plastic trim that you have to do then,
but people are running on their 10-wides
with their four-inch lift a 35x12.5,
which I think I personally would do
just because a little plastic trimming never hurts anybody
and it looks good, but the other factor too with that
is a lot of people are actually running
the six-inch versus the four-inch,
because you can get a six-inch Rough Country
or a four-inch Rough Country for the same price.
So the data for four-inch isn't as,
there's not as much there versus like
the six-inch leveling kit because the four-inch
isn't as popular because of that same price.
- [Fuller] Yeah, but if you're not looking to go
up quite to the six-inch, you want a four-inch
and you still want to try to fit those 35s,
you could always go with less offset
in a small, less wide of a wheel.
If you went with like a nine-wide
and you ran on a 35, you could probably fit that
in there too, but that's the beauty of the gallery.
If you wanna deviate from these sizes,
literally the whole thing's set up so you can enter in
your make, model, and then just plug in what suspension
you have and you can see what everybody's running
and then all the rubbing and trimming details, too.
Because some people will take a Sawzall
to their fenders and just cut it off.
(Junior snickers) Then, other people
don't wanna do that, so I think
that pretty much wraps up the four-inch,
let's do the six. - Let's jump up to the six,
and these are the, so this is what everybody wants.
When they build a lifted truck, they want a six-inch lift,
they want 12 wide -44 offset, and they want 35x12.5s.
- And can you do that?
- [Junior] Boom! Hell yeah! - You can!
You can, because it actually fits on Fords.
And these ones too don't have the crash bar,
so there's nothing to worry about there,
so it's really actually pretty simple to fit
your six-inch lift, 12 wide -44s and and 35s.
- [Junior] And that's it, there's not much
other explaining to do with it.
- [Fuller] That's what literally everybody runs,
and the gallery confirms that.
- [Junior] Yeah, so that's the beauty of the Fords
versus like the Chevys,
and I was talking to Banker too in the shop.
He's our lead tech here.
He was saying that the Fords don't really have
back where like, the NorCal happens,
when you pull that back, the Fords
don't have any of that back there, so there's no worry.
Obviously the newer Fords have the crash bar there now,
but the 09-14s, there's nothing there,
so the tire can come in and miss everything.
- [Fuller] Yeah, there's none of that extra metal in there
that the Chevys have, so
- [Junior] Fender liners and, yeah.
- It's just way easier to fit stuff on these trucks.
- Do you wanna see the wild truck?
- Yes, I would like to see the wild truck.
So every week, Junior goes out and he picks one,
it's either somebody who's like on a leveling kit
and 14 wides, or it's something that's got 13 inches
of lift and 42s or some random number
that I'm choosing to make up currently
because I'm just stalling for time
so Junior can show me the picture.
- Oh, oh, I was waiting.
You might have seen this one before.
- Oh!
(Junior laughs)
This is Kirk's truck!
Kirk works in customer service slash operations,
slash he does every job here, I don't know.
He does a lot of everything.
So, Kirk's got his '13 F150.
It's an EcoBoost, make sure you give him shit for that.
- [Junior] You can't give him shit for
a truck that's lifted eight-and-a-half inches
and can break the tires loose on
the highway just because he wants it to.
- [Fuller] Yeah, he's got the thing tuned
and all these mods - [Junior] It's fast.
- [Fuller] And it's actually pretty quick, so.
He's got 22 F14s, -76 offsets, sticking way out there,
and 375/45s, which if Junior scrolls down,
we can just use the calculator to see
that that converts out to basically a 36x15 tire.
- [Junior] Yeah.
- [Fuller] Does it rub?
- [Junior] Rubs like crazy, but who cares?
I believe, oh, slight rub at full turn,
because of major metal trimming.
- [Fuller] Major, major, major, major.
- [Junior] Major metal trim off of front bumper,
about four inches deep.
- Yeah, so there's been severe modifications
in order to fit this setup, but there's always somebody
out there who's running something crazy.
So again, gallery, it's awesome.
- [Junior] And then Kirk's also running
two-inch, I think it is, fender flairs on here.
- [Fuller] Yeah.
- [Junior] But the style of them is not
the riveted fender flairs, they look very OEM,
which I like a lot.
And then, Kirk's on an eight-and-a-half inch
McGaughy suspension lift, but it's actually
a bunch of lift kits combined.
- [Fuller] Yeah, which we don't recommend
to people to stack lift components
unless you go, Kirk spent months in the forums
figuring out exactly what would fit,
and what his angles would be like,
because he wanted to make sure he wasn't gonna ruin anything
so he's got it, but it's way easier
if you just buy the standard kits.
- [Junior] And if you're wondering what he's running,
it's a six-and-a-half inch McGaughy's lift kit,
six-inch BDS lift strats, and two-and-a-half inch
TGC leveling kit, and then I think it's
Pro Comp upper control arms?
- [Fuller] Yes.
- [Junior] So, I think it's got different track bars,
so it's a bunch of stuff combined,
and if you don't do the research, we wouldn't recommend it.
He knew exactly what he wanted
and how he wanted to get there,
and it looks amazing, but there was a lot
of time, energy, and all of that spent to get it there,
but there's Kirk's truck.
We love it. - It looks killer.
So, if you guys wanna figure out what fits
your truck, if you have an '09-14,
you just did figure it out, but if you have something else,
head out to the gallery at customoffsets.com/gallery.
You can see over 50,000 trucks that are in there,
and if you already have a truck with custom wheels on it,
go ahead and add yours at customoffsets.com/add.
