Well guys Money is an issue so when suggesting please remember that there is a limit lol. Would like to get things done over-time but wanna know where to start first. I have a 2003 F150 4.6l 4x4 with 61,500 on it. Looking at these rims and tires (FALKEN Ziex ST/z 04 285/60/18) and 18' rims. I know im gunna have to get a lift before I put these on there if im not mistaking?? But where would you start first? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks a bunch!

 

1 crank your torsion bars to level - free, and get an alignment that way youll fit those tires you want

2. do the gotts intake mod (15 bucks at home depot)

then it all depends on what direction you want to go with your truck. have any pics you can post

 

Nowsomeone told me this and im not sure whether its true or not but is a chevy key better at torque the bars to level?

 

ive heard you can use them to go lower but there is no need for them to level the truck

 

Thos tires should fit with out having to even adjust the T-Bars. They are slightly shorter than teh Stock Off Road Package 17s, and slightly wider. Gotts mod is a good addition. The rest is personal taste. Depending on how your going to use the truck, you may want a slightly more agressive tire. Exhaust is a good area to look at, again depending on your taste. Take a look at teh galleries for some idea of what others have done/ are doing.

 

Will add somemorepics here in a while. Had to charge the camera up didnt realise it was low. Ya she pretty clean and the inside it just as nice. It's a manual. But with only 54,000 miles on here when I bought it 6 months ago I stole the truck. Wanted 17k for her but with a little talking and a $2,000 down payment got her down to $11,9. I ran out of there like no other lol. The only thing I have found wrong with her is the back window is leaking. Fried my amp which really sent me through the roof. Whats the easiest and fastest way of fixing this problem? Looks like its a very common thing for F150's to do?

 

Ive been looking at 40 series dbl chamber flowmasters from the cat back with two coming out the back and its looking to be around 300$. THe tires are just really and everyday type of deal for the time being. The reason im going with those tires is because it comes with a package either those or the Nitto Terra Grappler which are almost 115$a tire more.

 

id suggest looking into dynomax race bullet mufflers. i have one and i know others have them as well and they sound great. you can get two and run true duals with an x pipe

 

Quite of opposite actually! Most Chebby guys want the Ford keys when they crank them.

 

Good luck with the build. You have come to the right place, there is a lot of good information here, along with some great people. Sounds like your starting off right and watching the budget.

 

If you are gonna run a street tire, you need to lower your truck, not lift it or it's gonna look really odd.
