Loving 39s.

Nice work everyone. I just picked up my Braptor yesterday and had a nice drive back to San Diego from Vegas where the Ford dealer had a big selection of Braptors to choose from.

No the fun begins with the mods. I’m wanting to put 38 x 13.5 x 17 tires on along with some Raceline Beadlock wheels.

I’m trying to figure out what would be the best lift. How much to lift, and what to do about adjusting the speedo for tire size.

With not many options for lift kits I’m just waiting to see what is being used and if the feedback is good or bad.

A lot of guys running 38-39” on factory suspension, but a 1-2” collar lift from Foutz or RPG is the most popular so far. I’m having my 1” front installed this weekend, but I stayed with a more aggressive 37” tire

Let me know what you think about the 1” front collars. I’m thinking about the RPG kit since it seems like they have the most aftermarket suspension items available.

1” Foutz front only collars installed and picked up today

Braptor measurements JFYI:

Before - Front 42 1/4" Rear 43 1/2"
After - Front 43 1/4" Rear 43 3/4"

So achieved exactly a 1" front lift and now offers only a 1/2" rake (perfect IMO) vs stock was a full 1 1/4" rake

Drove it about 20 miles and honestly feels almost the same as stock. Not enough noticeable difference to not install if you are concerned about comfort, etc…

Looks great!

I had the 1.5" FMI Collars installed on the front a few weeks ago and now have a 1/2" rake from Front->Back. Having 1" Collars being installed on rears this Wednesday so should get it back to level if not a little Rear->Front rake. But the rear springs are pretty soft so a chance I won't see a full inch of lift on the rear. But now have an option for 38s in the future if wanted.

Yes

I’m running 39” Kanati Mud Hogs with a 1.5“ RPG spacer. Rides perfect and the Kanati tires are the quietest smoothest mud terrain tires I’ve ever owned. Slight rub on the plastic inner fender at full lock. Nothing a little trimming wouldn’t fix.

Is that 1.5" up front only or all around?

Up front only. Just wanted to level the stance.

Anyone using wheel spacers to get the better offset without new wheels ?
About 35mm

Something like this ?

Bonoss wheel spacers

Anyone have experience with them ? I’d like to keep OEM beadlock wheels but help with spacing for new bigger tires with better offset

Foutz was saying that 3'-inches is the max range for the collars before the spring starts to bind. A heavy-duty 37-inch tire is only about 10 lbs less per tire than these 40s but only time will tell.

Yes. 20" Raceline forged Liberators.

What specs? Backspacing?

Which wheels are those, and any rub when turning with that articulation?

Thanks for the wheels call out. Would love to get some performance feedback at speed and/or under load. Looks nice but I’m always the one to blow a fender liner/fender when everyone else is telling me it’s all good

This is the perfect combo for me. Can you tell me the offset and specs please? I want bead locks on 20" wheels and want to keep the lift to a minimum. I play with rocks often so I will get full articulation. I hope rubbing is not part of the combo (other than the inner fender).
