It's beautiful! Put some 35's or 37's on, it'll be perfect!

Sweet! And if you ever wanted to go bigger with that bumper you prolly could and those wheels are already 8" wide wheels! I'm jealous!

Ur both right, i've got the 2.5 level and I'll def go 35s next round, I could build some longer control arms to push the front axle forward and fit 37s no prob, that may be an option for further down the road but for now its my DD, tow rig, gotta keep it reliable as I start graduate school next year. Dont plan on going any higher, whether it be trucks or crawlers Im about least lift with biggest tires. Thats what is so crazy about this truck, its got 3.55s and with 33's on winter blend fuel with stock timing/injectors im getting 18 mpg and with 35's it would stay the same and might even go up a pinch. Its a far cry from the half ton IFS, however this sucker is a pig haha. Month ago I was mashing through 8 inch drifts towing a trailer full of wood though. haha

I'm with ya man! I don't think they look bad, some look good(lifts), they just aren't my style. I'm for stock height, 35-37 tires. I'm prolly not going to regear mine...97 4.6...and i'm gonna stuff 35's under it. Just trying to figure out what i wanna do forsure to get some of the power back after i do it other wise it'll be even more of a dog Wish i had me a CTD!

Is that a rare mid-year F150?


Looks like it's in good shape!
