I bought the truck used, but I think the previous owner cranked the torsion bars as the truck sits pretty level. Other than that, it's stock.
Thanks for the compliment on the wheels. I don't really like the steel wheels, I wanted something that looked stock, I didn't want to spend much money, but I didn't want them to look like they came straight off an expy. I think the paint really changed the look of them.

Nice truck by the way, love what you did with the expy wheels.

gotts has the nicest 7700 series 4X4 that I've seen (but he's lacking a supercharger at the moment)
blownf150 that truck looks good with the wheels on it now they make it look more aggressive
pat, 2 tone in man, black and silver is the best combo for a crew cab

Where was that picture taken at? I haven't really seen an area like that around the central coast, but it does look like a nice place to go off-roading. Nice truck by the way, love what you did with the expy wheels.
The pics were taken in the Inyo-White Mountains, east of Bishop (my hometown, about 6 hr drive from the Central Coast), specifically Silver Canyon Rd. This area has 100's of miles of open dirt roads, usually ending at an abandoned mine or mill. With the Sierras to the west and the Inyo-Whites to the east, the Bishop area is an incredible area for vacation!

Thanks! I wanted the smallest, simplest F150 4X4 I could find ... this truck works well for me.
Very nice Fairlane! I have a '67 500, which is a decent daily driver, no where near as nice as yours.
