Project F-150 PIMP MY TRUCK FX4 MODS

as you can tell by my Title I am a Newb..not only to chat rooms but forum code as well ..this is my new truck I will be picking it up in Salt Lake ,I want to level it , 18's or 20"s I am liking the MM954 or similar .I really like some of the trucks on this site with the mods that you guys have done ,, any and all input would definately be appreciated..I will also be posting my stock 20"s on ebay or the classifieds , they will have less than 100mi on them ..I am doing that because I feel I will need a set of Blizzaks on 18"s or 17"s due to the harsh winters we are faced with were I live @6900'elavation, also wanna do the bull bar as well as some lights and an HD grill as well..thanks all rpm

PS if anyone can give me directions on making my Title Bold I would be grateful and would not look like such an ***

Hey man, I want to go with the best level kit ..either AS or HellBent w/ AAL and then new wheels and tires ...trying to figure out 18"s or 20"s / 33"s or 35"s and which tires ...seems like that is a very popular subject in these posts

2.5 auto spring with an AAL is the most popular. your going to need the add a leaf due to the fact your truck has less factory rake then the 04-05 trucks. as far as wheel size thats up to you. but you cannot fit 35s on aftermarket wheels unless they are almost exactly the same specs (width, backspace, offset) as your factory rims. youd be best off doing a 33x12.5 tires. as far as tires and rims search the forums and find out what type you want. just remember to post any tire/wheel/suspension questions in the appropriate forums.

Here's a hint: Pay it off first, lol. I can barely afford to take my girl out to lunch with gas prices and my truck has been paid off for the last 8 years.

clarion is a decent brand in my opinion, alot of guys around here stick with the pioneer brand. go check out the headunit and multimedia/navigation forums. im looking at the avic-d3 right now

vB Code can't be used in thread titles. I've edited it out for you... Also, I've un-bolded your entire post.

Fine print says each auction comes with two. Right under the pictures of the decal is says the Size and then "(Sold as a set) You get one for each side with this auction." So you might just want to buy one set unless you have another truck.
