Yeah from what I've seen that's a good price for the Fabtech. What's got you so busy you can't get to your truck?

Thats a Nice Truck you`ve got!! Nice Bike too!

You should never be too busy to get on F150 Online! Especially if your a crazy obsessed owner like all of us! I had a ranger before this and got my truck like a month ago and i'm a freak with it now haha. So i expect you on more often from now on! lol Well im seriously considering the same thing when it comes to rims, Probably going to get 20 inch Black Rockstar wheels with some 33's on it. Are you looking to get some billet grilles for it or no? Because i found a sweet ass Polished black Grille that would look badass on our trucks. Let me know if you want the Website k? And as it goes for the chrome bumpers(me too) i personally don't think it's "Blacked out" if you have everything sexy and black but you have extremely apparent chrome bumpers lol. There's a bunch of **** on here about getting painted to match(PTM) bumpers that you'll just replace the stock ones with after you get them painted. It's good too because you can sell your stock bumpers and get some of the cash back that you threw down on the new ones. Sadly my truck isn't 4wd so i don't think it is worth it to lift it. What do you think? Well i gotta get back to work but i'll be on every once in a while to check my messages and stuff. See ya! btw im Cal!!

That's the Fabtech stage 1 for $1762+ $85 for shipping

What are your plans with that truck? Black out or no? Because i just got an 07 lariat and im going to be blacking it out. Seeing if i'll have someone to compare experiences with. Hit me back thanks

Hey mxgirl676,

I was looking at your pictures and was wondering if the chrome bumpers on your truck where on it when you got it? I have been trying to figure out if there were any FX4s that came with chrome bumpers i have one on the front of my truck but bought mine used and wondered if it was replaced. Just wondering.

if your looking to get a good deal on tires, also look at tirepackage.com. That's were i bought my set from and got a better deal by about $200 on any other place. You just have to keep checking on the web site, they have sales going on all the time and also shipping is really cheap. Another thing is they have distrubution hubs all over the place, so if you live close to one, you can just pick up what you buy.

National Tire and Wheel is running a special on some of their lifts. Check this out if you're interested in the Fabtech. http://www.ntwonline.com/04-08_FORD_..._P8223C185.cfm. You might be able to find a better price somewhere else but this is a good one I think. Their special is 10% off the price shown plus free shipping. So it ends up being like $1900 and it includes rear shocks.

Don't be scurred into thinking the ATZ's arent aggressive enough and won't get you through mud and dirt very well. They have just as aggressive a sidebiter as the MTZ's and they really are an aggressive tire. Do what you want but I promise you that the ATZ will be aggressive enough and will be a lot quiter than ANY mud terrain.

If you check out the pictures I have in my gallery you'll see what a 35x12.5x18 on 18x9 combo looks like. Again, your choice between 18's and 20's. If you don't plan on ever going bigger than a 35 I would say go with the 18's but if there is even a smaller doubt that you may want bigger then go with 20's. The MTZ's are more expensive than the Toyo's if I'm not mistaken.

Good luck either way! Shoot me a picture of that 71 Mach 1 when you get it if you're still on this damn thing!

i would go with a mud terrain style tire, it just makes the truck look mean. thats me though. Perferably i like the Toyo M/T's but they are way expensive, so i can see where people would shy away from them, but mine have about 35K on them now and the fronts show some sign of wear but the backs are pretty nice looking. If your thinking about Mickey Thompson go with the MTZ's much more aggressive sidewall and meaner look. and the motocross areas can get muddy at times and you'll be happy when your cruizin through them with no problems.

As for wheels, its all up to how you want it to look, i like 20's i dont think they are too ghetto looking, i think they are just enough wheel. im not a fan of anything lower really. i like the new style lifted truck look big wheels big tires and clean, not so much a fan of the older lifted truck fans where they run a 15" rim and a 40" tire and my wheel and tires are worth more than thier whole truck haha.

The smaller the wheel, the cheaper the tires will be though, from an 18" wheel to a 20" wheel it could be 50 bucks a tire, im not to sure though.

what kind of wheels do you want to run? and please dont pick any moto metals haha every runs them haha, now that i know what your looking for im going to try and persuade you to build a bad ass truck and no do what everyone else does! what color wheels are your looking to get? chrome or black?

And thank you, i love my truck haha, i just bought a Gryphon tuner and S&B intake just now, im excited to get them!!! haha.

yeah those tires arent bad, i usually buy all of my stuff on ebay, there are tons of companys that sell on ebay now adays, and they arent used, its all new stuff. so what size wheels are you looking to run? ill see what i can find for ya.
