Your truck continues to look better and better. The great thing about that is you’re saving by doing the majority of the upgrades yourself. 💪🏽❤️

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks much!! That’s a big compliment!!

[@carolinagoddess4550]

Truck looks great you’re making me learn so much from watching your videos never knew car and trucks could be so interesting 👏🏾

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks much!! 💯 that’s awesome! That’s what I’m aiming for!!👍

[@RazzleDazzleBand]

This vid is exactly what I was looking for. Just bought a set used with 33" 12.5 on 20X10s so even that rubs the crash bar on the front and likely the fender material too. Not so much on the back, but your vid was perfect for me with a good explanation. Nice work and many thanks. -T

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Awesome bro! Glad that I could help. I was trying to be as detailed as possible; these are the details that I wish I knew before I purchased wheels and tires. what offset are your wheels? Thanks for watching!

[@smokinmetalcarfun2292]

Truck looks great with the wheels. Sometimes modifications come with aftermarket stuff bro I feel you on that but it came out good and tell no difference so long as happy that's what matters the most. keep doing your thing 💪💪💪

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot bro! I like the way you put that!!! I agree!!

[@brice788]

I’m so happy I seen your video! I now know what I want for my rim and tire size! Thx soooo much! Like you, I’ve got a 2015 f150, white, platinum.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

No problem bro! Glad I could help!!! I think this size is the perfect wheel/tire balance especially for a leveled truck. 👍

[@lostrilllife6754]

Nitto gave you a lot bro. Those wheels look super dope Gray on black goes well together!!

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot bro! They sure did! I was only expecting the speaker

[@KGFamilyy]

Your truck looks good. Every video it gets better and better I swear making me want one now

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot! And I’m the biggest fan of everyone getting a truck!!! It’s just a practical vehicle to have

[@marklowe4515]

Thanks young fella this really helped !

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Anytime bro!! Glad I could help!! Thanks for watching!!!

[@goatk1]

This guy has done his researched I'm halfway through this entire process and wish I found this video earlier!

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot bro!! What you got going on?

[@LivinWith3M]

Truck looks great man. Yeah mine were cut out also. It’s a very common mod to clear tires. 👍🏻👊🏼

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot bro!! Yeah I just had a lot of hesitation with cutting them since they are supposed to be a “safety measure”

[@mattdorsey9906]

Appreciate the details, probably more than what I'd want to do but it looks good

[@MeAndCarKeys]

No problem! It was definitely a bit much, but love the look 😆 thanks for watching!

[@AngelHerrera-up1nq]

Badass video brotha. Can you do a update on the eibach struts and how the ride Quality on them 🔥🔥🔥

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot!! 👍 I sure will. It’s in the schedule for this week! I will let you know when it’s up!

[@TheNorringtons]

You are a dope car expert!!

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot!!

[@jimmyhorton8297]

You are definitely braver than me. I wouldn’t cut my truck for a set of wheels and tires. Don’t get me wrong, it looks good, but for my situation it’s not worth the trouble and I’m not ready to void any warranties just yet. From the research I’ve done, cutting the front crash bar isn’t a big deal, but the back one is supposed to keep the wheel out of the cab in case of a front impact. I guess it also depends on how the truck is being used. Mine goes off-road more than most because of my work, so I really can’t have tires rubbing, but that’s me. All that really matters is that it makes you happy.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Yeah i like the look! But I went back and forth about crash bars for a really long time!! I got the same thing doing my research, so I made sure they left as much of the back crash bar as possible.

[@dacorsha]

Oh wow I heard it when you backed in but they look great overall

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot! Yeah I heard it the first drive when I got home. It’s minimal tho

[@mykalmoody6583]

Your ride cold brah!!! Got a question. I’m thinking about getting some 20x10 -25 offset tis 544. I have a leveled ford on 33x11.50ish (295-55-20) will it still run? I really don’t want to cut but if I have to I will. They be taxing to do all that. But thanks for the video.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot bro!! That will help a sick set up!! But yes you will definitely have to trim and it will be about the same as mine. That -25 offset is wider than my setup, but the tire is slightly slimmer. What year is your truck? If it’s a new gen truck you might be good since the crash bars are wider. Thanks for the comment!!

[@donnovanhenderson6291]

I have a 2002 Ford excursion and I bought the Moto metal 962 with the - 18 offset 22 x 10 and I was wondering what size tires would I need to go with ..?

[@MeAndCarKeys]

For an Excursion, I would suggest either a 33x12.5 or 35x12.5. I don’t think Excursions came with crash bars so if you have any fitment issues, it should be minimal. Definitely check out the gallery on Custom Offsets and see what others have done on their excursions. Here is an example from the gallery. www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery/2306299/2002-ford-excursion-hardcore-offroad-hc12-rough-country-leveling-kit

[@knowself5]

I just bought same size but in a Mud tire. My wheel has no offset and i dont poke out, so i bought some Mammouth 2inch wheel spacers. I think its gonna make me rub and i have no idea who to take it to and get a quality crash bar cut job like you did....

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Sup bro!! Yeah you’re gonna have to trim probably about the same amount as I did. Any wheel and tire shop should be able to take care of it. You could also consider doing the crash bar trimming yourself with a Sawzall with a metal blade. I originally planned to be ran out of time.

[@johnnytusi3846]

Truck look fire🔥. I have a 2018 xlt stock with 17s I’m tryna put a 2.5 leveling kit and I wanna put some 20s on it but I was wondering if 20s on a 33 gonna rub or no ?

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot!! It all depends on the wheels offset. My wheels have a -18 offset so I had to trim a lot. If you stick close to a 0 offset and 33s you should be fine, but they won’t poke out. It all depends on the look you’re going for.

[@johnnytusi3846]

@@MeAndCarKeys thanks a lot brother. You’re the only one I know that reply to all your supporters. Appreciate you and keep doing your thing

[@MeAndCarKeys]

@@johnnytusi3846 thanks a lot for saying that! That’s what I like most about KZbin is meeting and helping people! 👍

[@johnkrause8247]

If you add 2.5 to the front of a 4wd you will have much less trimming than if you lift a Rwd the same amount like this one as it is higher from the factory. 33's will fit fine depending on offset. And even then, trimming should solely be front crash bars.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

@@johnkrause8247 interesting 🤔. I didn’t know that! So 4x4 is higher from stock? That’s makes sense. Thanks for the info

[@donnovanhenderson6291]

What would I need to do to put that same setup on a 2002 Ford excursion?

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Honestly not sure about Excursions. I should suggest the gallery on Custom Offsets to see what others have done. www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery?make=Ford&model=Excursion&sort=yno&wheel_diameter_from=22

I have a 2020 tundra. Actually going to head to southern tire Saturday to see what they can do for me. I live in Atlanta

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Nice! I’m feeling the Tundras! How’d it go? Southern tire is the place to be!! Since you’re in the A, you gotta come out to some of the car meets!! Are you on IG?

[@lordtazar62]

@@MeAndCarKeys Doors were locked and noone answered the phones. Went up the road to tire south and they weren’t much help

[@MeAndCarKeys]

@@lordtazar62 that’s strange. They’re normally open Saturdays as far as I know. What were you planning to have done?

[@MeAndCarKeys]

I just looked at their hours. They close at 12 on saturdays.

[@lordtazar62]

@@MeAndCarKeys 22x10 or 12 on 33s. Leveling kit. Trimming. I really like the way your f150 sits. I want to be able to still fit my truck in my car port. I’m going to give them a call tomorrow and see what they can find for my truck. I was busy as hell at work today. So didn’t have time

[@cecilwalker9804]

Is it worth it and do you loose the warranty

[@MeAndCarKeys]

I’m not sure about the warranty. I’ve heard that it depends on the situation. I think it’s worth it for the look! It puts a smile on my face! 😂 as far as longevity, I’m not sure yet as this does put added strain on a lot of components. I will be sure to do an update video around 6 months

[@bigfrank3211]

Finally someone who told the truth

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks a lot! Gotta inform people of the truth no matter what! 💯

[@johndudley6817]

Is the ride quality good?

[@MeAndCarKeys]

It was great initially, but now I’m experiencing some vibrations because they are hard to get balanced. I’ve had to take it to a shop several times due to coming out of balance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHbXlpqHq9uUnKs This is the link for my update video

[@TheMasterkiller24]

Question???? 🤔 Do you think you would have to trim or have rub if you put a 3 inch level on it???

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Yes, still would have to trim, atleast with this wheel and tire setup due to the wheel’s offset of -18. And that would only be 1/2inch taller. Going with a 4 or 6 inch lift would minimize the trimming due to more clearance, but would still have to trim some. I hope this helps

[@gixxerhoff7502]

I picked up 33’s and mine rub big time.

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Gotcha! What’s your wheel offset? And Did you trim any of it yet??

[@jobbi9336]

yo what’s the offset?

[@jobbi9336]

ah -18

[@MeAndCarKeys]

@@jobbi9336 yes sir!! 👍

[@hello-qd8rf]

you cut your bars and the ins can denie claims

[@MeAndCarKeys]

I’ve heard this before…but I’m not sure how true it is.

[@nayaleezy]

I heard you don't need to cut the bars on 33s with a level

[@MeAndCarKeys]

Thanks for the comment. It depends on the wheels. My wheels are 10 wide, and -18 offset, so they stick out about 2.5 inches past the fender and would run right into the crash bars when I turn if I didn’t cut them.

[@nayaleezy]

@@MeAndCarKeys good to know, so much variation and options to work with

[@gh05t_mv]

@@nayaleezy pretty sure it also depends on the drive train of the truck. if you have a 4x4 it has more stock clearance than a 2WD
