I feel 33s are an ideal OEM size, and prefer the way they look over 35s.

That said, having come off almost 20 years with Tacomas, manufacturers designing to allow +2" diameter from stock without mods is the most ideal. I always wanted to do 33s on those trucks but stuck with 32s (265/75R16) to avoid trimming, UCA, boot issues, etc. Same here: being able to go 35 without bumping trim, bottoming out possibility, crash bar concerns, etc would have been great.

Yes, factory 35's and 4.56 gears!

Nope

I went with a true 34” and really liking it. Looks better than the factory “33” and no trimming needed. I did have a very slight rub on the drivers side front crash bar after alignment, so I took those out.

I went 35's w the lightest tire and wheel I could find and dropped over 10lbs on each. I ordered an intercooler and ZFGR tune to add a 100hp on 93 octane through @DirtDerrick
FYI Derrick is a great guy and knows where to put your money for actual results. This truck is a 1000 times more fun than my previous F-150 Raptor.

All around great video and a huge thank you for sharing your solution to the rear vent issue. I just purchased a set of those extenders on Amazon using your link and can't wait to try them out.

Where are you finding 93 Octane in Cali?

I stand corrected, 92 Octane
