yeah mine are too. i got the perfect 90 degree going which is what you want i do believe?? dont know alot about suspension geometry. i do know my t bars are as low as you can get them as in the bolts are not turned any i dont think.
your truck looks good from the pics and videos

 

If you did camo on the rockers I'd just look into a vinyl wrap for them, you could probably find it cheap online and if you go with the camo it would look nice on the white, but I'd probably go with black for the light bar to keep the color theme kinda in line if you know what I mean. But theres really no need to do the light bar with a professional job, just rattle can it cause chances are itll get chipped, dinged, etc. so it'd be easier and cheaper to touch up.

 

very true. the local body shop gives me good deals cause i know the owners... when i wrecked on christmas they did all the repairs for 600 dollars which included taking a bent axle out and putting a new one in which is a 600 dollar labor job by itself. they priced me at 500 dollars for the camo rocker panels and clear coat put on it. im planning on re painting the truck cause the beds got one half inch scratch through the paint the clear coat has alot of scratches the tailgates the worse and the clear coats came off the grill so if i have that done then ill pay 500 for the paint instead of vinyl.i think minus the 37s im looking at close if not past 3 grand with the re gear and everything. im gonna sell the 89 f150 to help out i guess. i love that truck but the transmissions starting to go out and it has 500k+ miles on it and if something messes up we aint gonna fix it cause we have a nissan expedition and another f150 05 between me my mom and dad and dads getting a new f150 ( the 5.0l !!!!! ) this upcoming year so then we will have to many vehicles so im gonna try to get some money out of the 89 alot of farmers around so it shouldnt be a big problem. im hoping to get enough to cover the regear. anything more id be tickled with considering my 4 wheeler sold for 1800 id hate to let go of my first vehicle for less than 1000

 

I was in the same boat as you when I was 17. What I would first is body lift and gears then 37s.

Unfortunatley I calculated my money wrong and couldnt afford gears at the time of getting tires.

and after tearing up my torque converter because of not regearing now I fortunately have a Heavy duty torque converter plus HD shift kit

 

im sitting at 10.5" from tire to fender and 44" from ground to fender on the drivers front.

 

yeah im gonna do the gears definitely before the 37s..

six ill measure my gap today and see how much of a difference itll make look wise. thanks for doing that btw.

 

six you have a 5 inch suspension with the 3 inch body??? cause unless i measured wrong i have the exact same measurements with just the 5 inch rcx lift........

 

i looked at my tbars and i have 10 threads left on the driver side so i dont think they are cranked any....

 

look at your CV angles. mine look like this -

that is why im so low. if i cranked my t-bars some mine would look like this \ although not that extreme of course.

 

so i went and looked at my cv angles and they are not - but they are really close not much degree to them at all... so if i unloaded my tbars all the way and put the 3 inch body on id still be as tall as i am now?????? if so then whatd i spend a 1000 dollars on a suspension lift for and how do you not have a rake cause i have a slight rake now and im cranked slightly apparently... im so confused

 

yes, if you unloaded them all the way and added the BL you will be about the same height. you spent the 1000 on the lift so you can run 38's

my lift came with just a add a leaf. yours came with a block so you have more rear height than me. if i raised my front i would have to get a block out back to level it out.

 

wow!!!! sweet thanks for helping me understand. when are you gonna put 37son? you said earlier that you did the suspension cause you was plannin on runnin 37 or bigger.

 

i think they are going to be last on my list of things to do and i just bought these 35's.

 

yeah same here. id like to get them this summer but im going to graduate next year so im thinking about getting the 3 inch body and cranking my t bars down but leave them up enough were im slightly taller than all the six inch lifts which shouldnt be that much then putting everything else on it and saving the 37s for later

 

yeah, that would look good.

i just dropped 4K for a built trans so it will be a while before i get new tires.
