You can flip the front crash bars from right to left and left to right and give the the clearance you need. Have to remove front bumper which is four bolts. Cut the two bolts on each side of the crash bar and replace with new ones. Have 315/70/17 on my 2017 F-150, no level kit just stock height and no rubbing at all.
You got pictures of that? I want to do tires and level but thinking about just doing tires first.
Jake Kinzer I don’t know how to add pictures on here
You have Instagram to send them pics so I don’t have to take my crash bars off when I run my 35s?
Ramon Castro can’t run 35s only 315. 35 are actually taller then the 315
Yea would love to see this also. You should make a video or a post somewhere
Those bolts were installed that way to dissuade you from what you’re trying to do.
The only purpose that crash bar has is to make it so the F-150 can barely pass the IIHS's offset crash test. Yea it 'might' save your tie rods and wheels from a 15MPH offset crash but in a serious crash that metal piece would serve no extra protection.
@@replysoon3216well I got a front end grille guard so I guess I don't need the crash bars anyway 😂
Now I know one extra thing to look for when buying a used truck...Make sure the crash bar hasn't been cut off. Other than that nice vid.
😂 that’s true! Thanks
Inconsequential
I always make sure when buying a truck that its stock to the bone, i dont want a pickup that someone worked and scabbed up
@@juledorenthen go get a new one
Those wheels are excellent! I love that they don't have the rivets or bolts or any unnecessary grooves that make cleaning so annoying!
The crash bar keeps the occupants legs in tact in a collision. Would never recommend taking them off. Look s videos of overlap crash test on CZcams with and without the bars. I wouldn’t remove mine for anything.
I agree 100% with you I don’t recommend doing this but like I stated in the video this was my brother in laws truck who okay with me doing this. I have kids & would not jeopardize their safety for looks as well. I owned a ford raptor & purchased the correct wheels to accommodate for larger tires so I wouldn’t have to do this. Thanks for watching & the feedback! 👍
The rear crash bars do. The front not so much. Like he stated ford doesn’t even put them on any of their trucks besides super crews
I need 35s, they can keep my legs
Gootman2, he shortened the bumper side bars, not the cab side....did you not watch the video? Geez!
@@Civiliansoldier762 i have a extended cab and a single cab they in fact have the crash bars. Sense 2016 they added it to all configurations
It cleared sitting level but what about when your suspension compresses?
Ford really did a good on on that model year truck. Simple yet good looking. I love the 17s on 35s. Looks like a real off road truck....not a mall crawler.
Appreciate it that, yea these are definitely good looking trucks & perform just as good
On my 17 150 Crew Cab I have a 2.5 in level kit and went with 34’ Toyo tires (295 x 60 R20) with +22 offset Fuel wheels. Wheels are slightly beyond the fenders (
Yeah wheel size & specs makes a huge difference. My brother in law really wanted these wheels I had so I just made them fit haha. Thanks for watching!
Trailblazer Films Yea. That was good that you pointed that out at the beginning. A lot of times you have to work with what you have. Hell, I wish I had a brother-in-law that could of handed me those wheels too. As it was I had to save about $3k for my setup wheels and tires. It was time for new tires so the $1500 that went to them doesn’t really count. All the best
Love the look but the bars are there for a reason.
Yes and that reason is to be removed for bigger tires.
1) Cut the bottom protruding part of the bolts off first. That will buy you a little wiggle room.
2) @ 5:53 - Unscrew the bolts up all the way.
3) Leave the 15mm wrench on the bolts (so that they don't spin) and get a mini angle grinder in there and cut the bolts off flush with the frame.
4) Slide off the crash bars. It'll take some finesse.
Voila!
I have the exact same truck but a 2018. Also planning on getting a leveling kit. But to be honest dude the 33’s with stock wheels looked way better.
I agree but the ride is a lot smoother because of the taller sidewalk. Thanks for watching & please make sure to subscribe if you haven’t.
Nah looks better with the new ones.
Go with 34s and 20” rims. 295/60R20 have no rubbing and no mods with 2.5” level kit
You could use the floor jack with a 2 x 4 picked up the body Or cut the top of the bolt let it fall through
Thanks for the tip!
I did the whole "lift the body" option. Front bars swapped sides, rears turned 180° bolted back in. I liked that much better than the "chop it" option.
Literally just did this with the exact same tire. No rubbing. Didn't have to cut anything.
On a leveling kit? How did you fit them?
Cutting the safety bar off to fit large tires. Nice
Seems logical right? Oh well guess I have to dodge cars now haha. Thanks for watching.
They sure do come on the extended cab
They do now . Started in 2016 . Just put some on my scab , cut all the crap out of my way ;)
Maybe cut the botls to keep that part then if u want to re install it just put bolts in from the bottom
That definitely would of helped also but these parts are replaceable so it’s not permanent
Remember most vehicles and their smaller assemblies are built in modules for easy of assembly at the manufacture. So all of them tend to be a huge pain in the ass to disassemble, especially if you don't have a shop with a massive tool assortment. Some you have to damage like my '12 F150s headlights I had to drill a hole in the back to remove a screw that held in the inner trim to prevent breaking it when separating the lens from the rest of the assembly. As a added bonus they use a pain in the ass sealant.
You can run a 33X11.5 on stock wheels and a 2in level with no trimming. You can run a 33.5X12 with around a 25 offset. Is cutting your truck up really worth it for 1 in in height and 1/2 in width. I’m running 295/70/17 on an 17X8 with a +24 offset. I have just a slight poke no problem with stones ripping up my truck not even close to rubbing during full articulate and at full lock. Everyone is saying about cutting the crash bars and accidents. It doesn’t even need to be a serious accident. The stock bumper (not much to it) can be pushed back into the tire and tear up the suspension with a low spend crash. Could be the difference between your truck being fixed or totaled.
I would cut the bolts off. Use different bolts in the event I put the crash bar back on.
Does this guy really think that Ford messed up when designing these parts? It's clearly meant to not come off and put together that way in hopes to keep you from removing it.
Yes Ford install this bolts for easy remove 😀😀😀😀😀
you lost me when you said since the crash bars are bolted on they can be removed and they dont really do much....how do you think the F150 got the 5-star crash rating? to each their own, but i would not remove safety devices for the sake of aesthetics.
I agree 100% with you I don’t recommend doing this but like I stated in the video this was my brother in laws truck who okay with me doing this. I have kids & would not jeopardize their safety for looks as well. This is just an option for those who choose to do this. Thanks for watching & the feedback.
Not been in the truck world long?
Looks good. Bronze and grey go together well.
Nice! I just had 35 12.5 R18’s KO2s put on my F-150. They fit with zero rub, but I do have the Rancho Lift (2.75”) front only.
👍
bestpathfinder what wheels did you use?
nodnal 13 the stock 18” ones
bestpathfinder thanks.
bestpathfinder sorry for more questions, you’ve had no issues with the 12.50” on the stock 18” wheels? I’ve been reading that you need to stick to a 10.50”.
I wouldn’t do that.. when I bought my truck I told my insurance agent it have a new truck and while we were talking I told him I was putting on a lift kit and bigger wheels, He told me that’s fine but don’t modify anything structural or run wheels bigger that manufactures specifications.. though a Raptor is a f150...so,, idk I was kinda surprised that he said that..
Well that's insurer talk... bigger than factory? Gtfo. Also, those bars aren't structural.
This is exactly what I was looking for for my 2017! Now I know what needs to be done! Thanks for the video!! 👍
Hell yeah! Thanks for watching, Please make sure to subscribe!
@@JJBanuelos 😉👍
Rented port-a-power pushing between the crash bars spreads tbem enough to clear the tires. And you retain the crash safety
Could you explain more about what you did planning on getting 33s on my truck and don’t want to cut the crash bars off
What’s wheel offset
Just cut the bolts off and slide the crash bar out.
Awesome Video! im planning on putting a 2.5 inch lvl kit at the front and leave the rear stock, will it work if i do the same trimming?
The bolts are installed that way to stop people from doing what youre doing. Remving/modifying the crash bars drops the trucks safety rating. In cases i seen insurance companies not covering newer f150s after noticing messed with crash bars after an accident happened. And they 100% do come in all cabs if the truck sense 2016. The crash tests without the crash bars were horrific to passengers legs. removing that crash bar is a reason why the aluminum versions of the f150s have the crash rating they have. They have nothing to with stoping the bumper hitting the tires 😂
I find it hard to believe that a 1.5 inch piece of metal tubing makes a difference in a 6,000 pound vehicle during a collision. What are those things made of!?!? Lol. Seriously, if being more crash worthy in the unlikely event of an offset frontal collision is everyone's beef here, why don't you all install those massive wraparound RanchHand grill guards to your vehicles? They are built of the same guage metal tubing, and, based on your reasoning, double or triple the crash-worthiness of your vehicle! You can buy them anywhere! Take it from a crash investigator, when it comes to the forces involved in several-ton vehicles crashes, the effectiveness of these little bars is minimal. Crumple zones in the main frame and airbags decide your fate, not a 1.5 inch piece of square tubing.
@@peruser155 watch the crash test its an obvious difference on how it saves the legs of the people sitting up front. With out those it wouldnt have the crash rating it does and its also not 6000lbs depending what you have its 4000-5600lbs and most people dont have the fully loaded 5600lb truck its expensive. That being said they arnt in the raptor versions but a font end crash is also a lot worse then to a normal f150
How was the ride quality with the wheel spacers?
The wheels I want don't poke out enough how I want them to. I could go the custom route, but that's more expensive, and I don't wanna put that much money just for the wheels.
The ride quality was the same with wheel spacers. Just have to make sure you get good quality ones & ones that are hub centric & not lug centric for your truck.
@@JJBanuelos Thanks man!
That bar is there to stop the motor and everything else from intruding into the can in an accident. Looks good tho.
Bro if you get into an accident that has enough force to put a motor into the cab I don’t think a small piece of metal will help you.
@@JJBanuelos I work at level one trauma hospital in Colorado. You would be surprised. But to each their own.
Now that’s how a truck is supposed to look
Thanks!
New subscriber man. Sweet vid.
Appreciate it bro! 👊🏼
Are the headlights OEM? If not, who makes them! Love the amber lights vs white.
Yes these are the factory headlamps.
I have a 2015 F250 with 35’s with a 6” lift on back and leveled it in front and still covered with warranty cause nothing was cut off..
randy kline this truck would still be covered also. The parts that were cut on bolt on pieces. The frame of the truck wasn’t compromised. Thanks for watching & the input.
You have a 6inch lift in the back an leveled in the front? Lmfao I bet that looks great 🤣
Why wouldn’t you cut the bolts? If you want them back you can always get new bolts?
After you cut off most of it, why not take off the rest of it? Unless it’s still to long and it will hit the bumper.
i just installed 17 inch wheels on 38s, but the tie rods are touching the wheels, scratching them bc the wheels are small, i should go with 18in wheels, but what about you? had to install 1.5" wheel spacer to solve the issue
Why didn’t you install a lift? Wouldn’t it solve the rubbing issue instead of cutting that piece
I eventually did. But this was done to see if it was possible without a lift
The comments because you removed the bar, bet most of them dont even own a truck lmao
Right 😂 if it was so important why isn’t welded in? Oh well. Thanks for watching!
Nice truck! Do you think 285/75R17 will fit without a level on a 17 F150 4x4? Factory rims 17 inch rims.
Should fit especially if they’re factory wheels.
Trailblazer Films right on thank you! I’ll give it a go! Stay safe.
Looks excellent! 👍🏻
Thanks
33s is the perfect size for f150.
Definitely 35s are too big 33's look the best
@@chrisshields9983 37's bro
33 with only a leveling kit yea. If you want 35+ you'll need alot mods
Thanks for the Lesson! Now i know!!
👊🏼
Hey man, great video. Your truck looks awesome. I'm planning on doing the same; 2" leveling kit with a 34.3" tires. Based on your experience, do you think some trimming will be required for 34.3" tires. Thanks in advance
Possibly not especially if the offset of the wheels isn’t much.
@@JJBanuelos I'm planning on using stock wheels (0 offset) but If I can save some extra money I'll get Fuel wheels with +12 or +18mm offset.
Stock wheels are not zero offset. Not even close.
@@trey8072 yeap. That checks. My stock wheels are +44mm. Sorr for the confusion.
The tires he installed here (315x70r17) are actually 34.3" tires.
Did you have to get your speed odometer adjusted?
yes, the speedometer is generally software controlled and can be adjusted with most flash tuners, or autozone has a tool you can rent usually for it.
I think the bars is in case you tire Explode
I have a 2018 Ford F-150 super crew and I have a 3 inch front and 2 inch rear leveling kit on it. I have a set of 22x12 with -44 offset and a 35x12.5 tire. Do you think if I do the same trimming that you did my wheels will clear and won’t rub anymore?
Yeah it’s definitely possible it shouldn’t need much prob just as much trimming plus maybe a little to the plastic liner & they should clear.
Truck had a 5 star frontal impact rating, now it does not. LOL another over use of editing tools and missing the whole point of just showing a clean before and after pic.
Yeah I know. Now it has Chevy ratings but truck looks good lol. Wouldn’t do it to my truck this was my brother in laws. Thanks for watching.
So now that you cut that off I sure hope that he never trades it off the next person will think they have a truck that is safe and not cut a valueble safety feature
Still safer than other manufacturers. Did you not hear the part about them only being on super crews...? Makes you wonder, huh?
Killer truck dude!!!
Thanks!! Yeah the wheels make a big difference! Thanks for watching! Please make sure to subscribe.
@@JJBanuelos
Did you notice a major difference in mileage and handling?
Take care 👍
Teo P mileage went down about 2-3mpgs & handling I felt it improved. So it’s a double edge sword for sure. Don’t forget to subscribe!
friend, one doubt, you recommend me to put in wheel 17. I have 305/76r17 tires. but I have a ford f150 wheels 18. but smaller wheels? any advice
Bro cut the bolt you can use a new one on the future just the nut on top 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Better and cut small frame. To late 😂😂😂😂😂
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to cut the bolts
I got the same size rim and tire to fit without a leveling kit but my taking off the air damn on my 2010. Need to install the leveling kit next though lol I only have 3-4" of travel (with wheel at an angle) and then it starts rubbing. Lucky I didn't have a crash bar.
Watch my latest video I just installed the rancho 3” lift on this truck! It actually turned out really nice!
Just don’t. Without a suspension lift, stick with 33” tires.
I thought you could just cut the bolts and run new ones through the bottom with a nut on top instead...after either modifying the bars or reversing like another poster said
I thought so also but the issue wasn’t the bolts but the bar was hitting the body of the truck & the front ones were hitting the bumper.
Why didn't you just cut the -easy-to-replace- bolts, just in case you wanted to reinstall the crash bars?
Bolts weren’t the issues it’s the bars. They hit the body of the truck even when bolts are removed & the front one shut the bumper so it would have to come off as well.
I just notch my crash bars. Anyone else? I’d hate to lose some crash rating/safety features just for bigger tires
Why would u just not cut the bolts??
Not sure why I didn’t just do that. But thinking back I would have done it differently
That is their to keep your legs from being crushed!!!!
You definitely have some aliment issue with those original tires you took off
Your passenger might like to have the crash bar left there instead of the tire Crushing their legs
😍 the wheels are looking awesome and lightweight what's the brand please??
Thanks bro! There called Relation Race Wheels.
what leveling kit is on this Ford???
Maybe should have left the extensions on?
Sweet looks great 👻👍🏁.
Thanks yeah I think it looks great also!
Do you have to cut the crash bars behind the wheel ? Or only the front crash bar ?
Looking for the same setup with raptor wheels on 15 ford Lariat ( +34 offset ) and looking to change the tires to 315 instead 285 .
In my case I had to do both front & rear with the zero off set.
should have cut the bolts and saved the crash bars.
Did you guys add a spare tire as well and being a 35 did it fit underneath the truck?
Yes a spare 35” does fit under the bed.
I would have returned the old charger lol
What’s the leveling kit he your brother in law has installed? 2 inch? And why did you cut the rear crash bars? It didn’t look like they rubbed in the video?
Yes it was a 2in leveling kit not sure what he went with. He just purchased a 3in coil over strut for it. Should be installing soon. Crash bars were in the way when trying to go full lock turn. Yeah they were rubbing pretty bad. Thanks for watching. Subscribe to see the next kit going in.
Trailblazer Films that’s too bad because I love the fitment but definitely would not want to remove the rear bars. Front I could go without as I just bought an add pro bumper upgrade. Where did you buy the rims?
I got an 04 f150 going to use a 2.5 level kit do you think I’ll have any trouble fitting 35x12.5r17 on it ?
More than likely it’ll rub on full turn
Please start using jack stands, hydraulic lifts fail!
Hey need help. Did you brother have to do any trimming or anything for the 33" tires on the stock 20s w/spacers?
I also have 2" spacers on mine and need to know if 33x12.5 rubber will fit on my stock 20" wheels on my 2018. Many thanks.
CJB CJB he didn’t do any trimming but there was a slight rubbing only at full lock turns. He was running toyo open country m/t. I’m sure with a less aggressive tire he would be fine like a bfgoodrich ko2
@@JJBanuelos thanks so much. His 33s were 12.5 wide right? I'm leaning toward the ridge grappler. They would clear the crash bars right? If a little bit of trimming was needed it'd be just the plastic? 🤟
How tall is the truck bro
Until you hit a bump that corner is going to tear the shit out of that tire.
Doubt it new Raptors have this same bars removed to clear the 37’s from the factory
What brand of rim is it
It’s called Relation Race Wheels.
What tires do you like better? The BFG KO's on the front, or the KO2's on the rear? Lol
tyedevonhannah lol surprised no one has noticed yet! Love the look of the K02’s but man they don’t last long at all like the KO’s! Not sure why the load rating went down but that made all the difference in longevity. Thanks for watching please like and subscribe.
How is the power/driveability and speedo affected with this size??
It’s about 3-4mph faster I believe
What exact size are the wheels and tires? Did you have to regear the differential?
Wheels are 17x8.5 with Zero offset. Tires are 315x12.50R17
Didn’t have to rear gear, speedo is off by about 4/5mph
How about if it’s a 2.7 liter ? Will the truck dragg?
nice vid.. tire made a big difference
When fate tells you no but you do it anyways.
Hi there...are you using stock lug nuts on these wheels or aftermarket?
No with these wheels you need aftermarket ones. Factory lug nuts don’t sit right in the wheel holes
@@JJBanuelos thank you
Damn they look bigger then 35’s!
Yeah having 17” wheels definitely makes the tires look a lot bigger than they are. Thanks for watching!
What’s the biggest size tire that you could fit without trimming you think?
Honestly you can prob fit a 35” tire with a wheel that has correct offset & just a leveling kit
I have 275/65/20 on my platinum 2018 fx4 no rubbing
Nice
@@JJBanuelos yeah i love the stand even tho its stock no lift no level its 100% stock height i dont want to level it because i drive alot and my mpg will go down
What's the offset on those wheels?
These are zero offset
Whats the offset
What were the specs on the wheels you sold him? 17" What width and offset??
17x8.5” with Zero off-set.
Hey what kind of wheels are those?
They’re called Relation Race Wheels
i must have bad luck cause my extended 2017 has the crash bars😭
That sucks! Honestly you could just cut the bolts & slide the bars out if needed.
@@JJBanuelos yea probably gonna do that. Great video man!! 👍
Those bars are on there for a reason..
How do the 33x12.5r20's fit on stock rim with level?
Good no rubbing at all until you move up too a 35” tire
Nice edits
How much psi you running on the tires?
meme Time anywhere from 32-35psi. Gives a good ride & wears tires even also. Thanks for watching! Please make sure to subscribe!
KO2s in 317/70 17s are not 35s though. They are listed as 34.4 from BFG. And closer to 33.2 when measured in real world. Nice video work though
Thanks for the info & for watching!
An a 35 isn't a 35 if you measure it 🤷🏽♂️ my 315/70s bg Goodrich where bigger then my 35 nittos
I’m running 35/14.50r16’s on a 88 f250 with just a leveling kit and very minor trimming lol
Always been a fan of those! Sure it looks killer! Thanks for watching please make sure to subscribe!
Would have cut the bolts. No wouldn't have cut nothing.
Removing those crash bars could open you up for a nice lawsuit !!! BAD IDEA !!!
