    Does hitch height change with swap to LT tires?

    Another newbie ? One of the changes I'm making to my 2016 F-150 3.5l ecoboost is to swap tires to LT tires.
    My WDH is fastway e2. The L brackets have some wear towards the front and they should sit flat. My question is
    will the stiffness of the tires raise my hitch height (which it needs) or no bearing? How about a slightly
    larger tire? On a different note, swapping out my 23 gal gas tank for the 36 gal. this week. Can't wait
    to fill that up, cha"ching $$. Thanks all.

    The different rating on the tires should make no noticeable difference in ride height if they are the same size. It might ride a small bit higher because you won’t get as much sidewall flex but the difference would be very little.

    Thanks DougW9876. I didn't think it would, just hoping. Figure it depends on stiffness of suspension. Still gonna get new tires
    and recheck alignment of hitch.

    Did you have a Ford dealer do your tank swap? If you don't mind sharing; ball park price? I just upgraded campers and gas mileage has dropped by 3 mpg. Not much range on 23 gallon tank.

    Hey Captain. Gas tank project hit a snag. I got a local shop I found through repairpal.com to do the swap.
    Unfortunately, the supplier ( online salvage yard ) sent the wrong tank. Shop says they will make it right.
    Here near Richmond, va the price, parts & labor is about $650.
