35" Falken Wildpeak RT on Relations Race Wheels RR7-H Matte Bronze -- Cactus Gray RR

I think your rubbing might because of your change to +25 but good to know about your experience.

Unless it's changed, he's running stock suspension, so it's impressive he has minimal rubbing with heavy offroad use. The shop that installed my springs said the same thing -- lots of room under there.

Today I had Hyperco coil springs installed -- 2.25" in the front and 1" (non-HD) in the rear -- and mounted my 35x11.50R17 Falken Wildpeak RT01 on RRW wheels in 17x8.5 with +25 offset. Very happy with how it turned out. No rubbing at all lock to lock, with plenty of clearance for the type of offroading I'll be doing. No trimming was required. I had the ReadyLift high clearance crash bars installed as well.

There's still a little bit of rake, which I'm OK with. I could've skipped the rear coils and it would've set almost level (probably would've been a little nose high, which I did not want). Also, I wanted to do the coils on all four corners.

The 11.5" wide tire really helped with the clearance. I was a bit worried the 11.5" would look a little narrow, but the Wildpeak RT has a fairly aggressive tread and big side lugs, so it looks pretty good IMO.

After considering the various coil spring (Geiser, Eibach and Hyperco) and lift collar offerings, I decided to go with the Hyperco coils based on my desired height in the front and back and the quality and reputation of Hypercoil. I didn't know much about Hypercoil springs until researching them -- they've been around for years and have a great reputation across many different applications. I've only driven it 15 miles on the freeway, but the ride was not noticeably stiffer, even on Dallas potholes.

Anyway, sorry for the long post and for the crappy iphone pics.

How long was processing/delivery on the HyperCo springs?

Same for me -- 4-5 days from order date to delivery in Texas.

This is exactly how I'm starting to build mine out. My offroad guy went right to Hyperco and I just had them installed. I'm still riding stock WT's with the KO3's but I'm leaning towards MT Baja Boss 35/12.50/17 with an +25 offset wheel. Thanks for this post. Guessing there could be problems with jumping/heavy off roading with 12.50's vs 11.50's?

The 35x12.50R17 will definitely fit with +25 offset wheels; if you are doing heavy offroading you will likely have to trim the inside portion of the fender well behind the front tire as shown in this post. This is an extremely common area to trim on both RR and F-150 Raptors. You may have to trim a little more if jumping it. Several folks on the forum are offroading with 12.5" wide tires (including @MidnightSpecial , the author of the trimming post I linked above), so they can chime in.

The MT Baja Boss is a great tire and I strongly considered it; the only downside is the weight. The 35x12.50R17 weighs 73 lbs, and the 315/70R17 weighs 72 lbs.

What are your impressions of the Hyperco springs? I have been extremely pleased with them.

Only got them yesterday so I haven't driven much but the ride is definitely firmer. The real surprise was how much you notice the difference in the height for just a couple inches. The steering input to me is even sportier and responsive. Initial impressions are it feels like a performance boost on a performance truck and I'm stoked. Now I want 35's because of the extra space. I'm ready to see how the feel off road. Plus they look sick with the matching carbon/Grey to the fox strut. Did you adjust anything with forescan? My shop mentioned they use forescan to do something. I know its controversial whether springs affect the live valve and whether you should get spacers, etc...Ford performance says up to 3 inches in lift is within spec for stock struts.
