and my truck lacks a little power (4.6 l) whats the cheepest way to add good power??????????

first off bud, your in the suspension forum asking for power.... kinda odd.

Looks into adjustable coil-overs. They can add an extra 2". Check into King Coilover's or Sway A Way.

Performance Accessories also offers a body lift, an extra 3" of lift.

Intake: look into S&B intake

Power: called up Mike Troyer at Troyer Performance . com for some custom tunes. He also has different power packages.

oh, and welcome to the site

Welcome to the site

...a lot of good information and opinions can be found on these forums.

Question: You just joined and set up your account, but your gallery does not show a lifted F-150 at all. It shows a very nice Lightning, an Expedition and a Mustang. Where are pics of the 8" Rize lifted F-150? I know if my truck had the Rize and 37"s it would be the first thing I put in my gallery!

truck looks amazing man !

Only reason I was saying check the other threads is becuase there are a lot of guys who hang out in "their specialty" if ya know what i mean ? There are tuners and chip guys who only look in Tuner/programmer section. Just wanted to give you a tip for better results.

I know my answers were short, but I still agree with all of em. If I were you, really wanting to run bigger tires, I would look into a body lift. they are a pain to install, but when done right, they look great.

Another thing, if your really trying to get up to 40" tires, maybe think about a solid axle swap ? Your IFS will be hating you and crying the hole time trying to use that big of meats ! What gears do you have ? ?

dirt_bound · #10 02-21-2008, 03:52 PM

if i go up to 40s im gonna do 4.88 gearing but right now im stock...and how do yo uget your truck to show up in your signature if you dont mind me asking

What the hell happened?

I clicked on your camera icon and it brought me to a gallery with those vehicles. Now I click on it and I see the kick *** lifted supercab....nice truck man! Not sure how that happened, so apologies are in order.

I would just AAL and coilovers (Kings, Fabtech, Pro Comp) to fit the 40" meats. I personally don't like BL, but others swear by them. But if you want to improve your ride as well as fit the larger 40's than the coilovers and AAL will give you both.

thanks for commenting on my truck and ohh ya i figured out how to put my truck in my signature...

truck looks awesome ! As far as Pro-comp and Fabtech shocks, I don't think they would be right for your situation. Looks like you like to play with your truck, in that case I would stick with Kings, or (my personal favorite) sway-a-way coil overs.

On the newer truck, you really can't tell you have a body lift. get gap guards and some side steps and bam, looks factory. The Fords are the ONLY truck i would ever even think about a body lift on. Use the Search feature, you'll see.

Also, just a suggestion, I would look into regearing BEFORE you look into going bigger. Looks like 4.88 is the lowest we can go in our trucks. I would get em (mine are already on order and I have 35" tires). You are putting lot of stress on your engine, tranny, and other drivetrain components. Your making your truck work a whole lot harder then it should. Just my 2 cents bud. I wouldn't do anything before that, if it were me. And remember, 35" is the biggest most people suggest for IFS, althought most people get away with 37" tires. 40" tires are really pushing it man, unless its strictly a street queen (your pics show otherwise tho)
