265/70R15 on a 2003 edge

I ask because the 2wd seem to have a more pronounced rake. I have never seen a 4x4 edge so I do not know. Those tires on the blue truck look bigger than 31's. It might be that there is NO visible rake on that truck. Is it leveled?

Yeah they look bigger than that to me, too....

Mud Terrains tend to do that to your eyes....

They ARE 31x10.50's on a 15x8 wheel with approx 4" backspace. I know the guy personally and I see the truck about twice a week when he stops by. I think he has leveled it out some by cranking. But your truck probably has F bars and those are known to sag alot over time as they are the lowest weight rated ranger bars. Front views or even side views throw your eyes off as well...take a rear quarter view...that truck and my truck look raked.

I think alot of it appearing larger are the fact they are mud terrains and the fact the wheels are black. Both those combine to throw the eyes off and make them appear larger.

Keep in mind...most those pics i posted...his bed is loaded down with gear too...

I do not know anything about the different t-bars. Are the ones I probably have on my truck sturdy enough to lift 1.5" and still be a dependable daily driver? You have me scared now. Thanks a lot...........just kidding. You seem to be very knowlegable and are being quite patient with all my floundering about. I do appreciate that.

No worries man. I tend to keep helpin' and keep helpin' until whoever is needing the help become ungratefull and doesn't listen. lol. That's why I asked if you were second guessing fitting those small tires on it. lol. I know my sh!t. haha! lol.

Your Bars: How many miles on the truck? I know your engine and drivetrain combo....if you've got 100k+ miles, you really should start thinking about putting new Tbars on. They sag hardcore over the years even without cranking. Cranking the adjuster is to adjust this sag. Crank it up 2 full turns and see how you like it after a short drive after the suspension has settled. You're fine cranking your bars...nothin' wrong with it. There'll come a point down the road where you can't crank no more to keep it's height, that's when new bars would be in the picture. Upgrading to B bars or ever #1 bars(highest spring rate, i have these) would help to keep the 'lift' you gained.

47000 miles on th truck. Not bad for a 2003. This is why i posted in the suspension forum about ride height specs and where to measure it from so i could see if mine have indeed sagged. How do I tell for sure which bars on on my truck?

Open your driverside door, there'll be a sticker with a barcode on the doorjamb. Under the SPR lettering, you'll see a 4 digit or 2 digit code. FFKK is what I think you'll see. F bars, K leafs. Or you'll see FK...My truck was BBKK, it's now a 11KK.

LOL....I literally forgot the purpose of this thread! lol.
