The only "Boss" packages I've seen on F150s are those tacky yellow ones that are way overdone with the plastic body work. AFAIK it's all exterior/interior mods, no performance work done to it.

I have no clue about that white one though.

It looks like Highlife just bought an aftermarket "Boss" graphics kit and put it on his truck. The "Boss F150" trucks are the ones cashel mentioned...wouldn't be so ugly if it had a better looking body kit...or none at all.

lakeland and yes, just have the 2 piece aluminum adapters on there. everyone said they would cause problems with the bearings and whatnot, but ive had them on there almost 3 years now and i havent had one problem caused by them. I beat the hell out of that truck in the woods and the mud hole and aside from tearing CV boots and the usual front end maintenance I have yet to see all these problems that I always hear associated with adapters and spacers.

na man, I switched from chrome to black wheels and it felt like the truck was missing something just plain white. I used to do graphics work and vinyl whatnot so we just got bored one day and I took and drew up the old boss mustang graphics to fit my truck. didnt look bad so I left it.

I love the stance of your truck man, very aggressive, exactly what I'd do if I had your truck.
cool man thanks ill comapre new to used prices on that lift kit. And as for how my truck looks THANK YOU alot of people say they like it but the wish the front was up higher...... but i dont like the "cali" style, i like the front being lower than the back. Not by much but still lower.

Hey TDS,
Can you tell me what you have there for tires/lift? Looks like 3" body with 33's? Or 35's? I'm trying to decide what to do with mine.
