Here's a new question to all the F150 guys - what gears are you running? I'm planning to move down from my stock 3.31's, especially now that I'm pushing 35" tires. Debating between 4.10's and 4.56's. Thoughts?
I hope to squeeze the 35" underneath since it seems others have been able to make it work with an F-150. If that doesn't work out, I might just throw it in the back and pull it out when it's time to bed down.
Several people online reference the Raptor's ability to carry a full sized spare underneath the bed. Once I purchase a 35" spare, I'm going to try that first. I should definitely plan to do the add-a-leaf around the same time!
I definitely don't want to leave a wheel behind on the trail. Thanks for the advice. I have seen a few people fit a 35" under their trucks. I will research this option more to make sure it will hold up to the pounding.

I am in the process of building out my F-150 and one of the design decisions that has my stumped is the location of my full-sized spare (which I haven't purchased yet). I will be running a custom cap that will be used as my teenage son's slumber chamber, so the bed is out of the question. That...
It's great to see F-150 threads. I started my build recently and just joined OB today! I have a long way to go but it's good to see others heading down the same path.
