Don’t take this as me being a dick, but if you do a little research, you’ll see that this question has been asked before. Using the search function, I was able to navigate to this response:

This may work for you so long as you have the rail car info.

Tomorrow is finally the day mine gets to come home.
It came in a couple days ago.
We have about 4-5 hour drive to go after it tomorrow.
I think we are planning to leave around 8 am.

Post pics with the new wheels and tires! Would love to see the difference the offset and tire size makes

Sure thing.
I will be posting both before and after pics with the stickers still on the truck.

Tomorrow will be about a 10+ hour day round trip going after it.
I am planning to mess with the Wheels and tires Sunday afternoon.


After that, if I have any energy left, I plan to start working on pealing all those decals off tomorrow as well.

Once those are off I will shoot a few more pics.

More stuff to come after that. Hope to get my headache rack and toolbox on sometime next week and window tint a week from Saturday if all goes to plan.

Also have a start stop eliminator to install sometime next week as well.

Today’s trip to get the Raptor went well, truck ran great.
Trip was a little longer then expected, a little more like 5 hours each way when I thought it was going to be 4 hours. But all went well.

Seats were comfortable overall truck was comfortable the 5 hour trip back home pretty well put that to the test.

Once I got it home did some garage rearranging while some of the Raptors stable mates were outside I grabbed a few group shots. They all just looked so good together.

Ok , I got a second wind around 8pm tonight about an hour after getting home.
‘Just could not stand to see those +50s on the truck another second.
So Brock out the impacts and jacks got to swapping tires.

She looks oh so much better now, with 34s and +30s.
Love it!

I need to figure out how to use those points myself. I am sure I have some from my Bronco purchase, I was planning to order the rubber bed mat. Mine has the spray in liner but I like putting in a rubber mat on top of the spray in liner to help keep stuff from sliding all around in the bed.

I was wondering about those braces, thought it was a bit odd when I saw them, why would something like that need to be added and dealer installed. Sort of thought a pickup should be built from the beginning to handle that sort of thing or sort of work related additional equipment.

I am waiting on mine to come in to get some measurements, I still have this rack and toolbox off my old Diesel Colorado, and if it measures out similar or will fit, I am thinking of putting it on my Ranger. I am hoping it fits. It's over 2 grand worth of stuff that I can get out of storage and put back to work.

Well, got a tape out and was double checking measurements.
One that I had not really thought about was the length.
The measurements I took at the local dealership month or so ago was indicating I was good to go.
Those measurements I took are still good to go, however the Ford bed is significantly shorter, I didn't think about length being an issue.

Taking to my local ag machine shop for some modifications and then to get re-powder coated.
What a pain in the rear.
