375,000 Miles Update
 
Well guys its been a while since I updated you on the Ford.:beers:

I have since added a six inch fabtech, three inch body, aal, and torsion twist. I gained about 11 inches of lift and installed everything myself in UNCG's parking lot :thumbsup:. I know it needs bigger tires but hey i am in college and its gonna wait till these are gone haha.

When I got it

Man, that'll look really great with some big tires! I know what you mean about the money situation...I'm waiting to install my rcd lift until I can get some bigger tires. Then I'll probably have to wait until I can regear because I want to do everything just right and minimize wear and tear on the driveline.
....the only thing that would worry me on your truck is that it would decrease reliability - I bet one factor in making it to 375k is because it was a stock truck.

Looks good, will look even better with bigger tires

J-150 12-01-2009 06:19 PM

Doesn't getting bigger tires make you mileage show less then what it really is?

Halverso_99 12-01-2009 10:34 PM

^^^Not if you recalibrate your odometer.
