New toy

My family has gotten bigger as we adopted our 13 yr old nephew late last year. In doing so we out grow or 98 Jeep Wrangler. I've been add new toys to it for the last few years (sad to see it go). Anyway we sold it an bought our newest toy and my Daily Driver. Its a 2000 F150 XLT supercab 4x4 with offroad package. It has the 5.4 motor. I'm not sure whats all be done to it but we like it. I've taken so photo's to see if anyone see's something I have not. It has dual Flowmasters and a intake (don't know brand).

the back is probably just down from the weight of the topper over the years. You can decrank the torsion bars slightly to even it out up front.

I've been keeping an eye on the MPG and it seems I'm getting 15 mpg city and about 17.5-18 mpg highway.

That rust will bite yuh in the *** soon. It's already been touched up in the past. Be prepared, lots of work ahead. Honestly, who ever sold you that truck got rid of it just in time. I'm surprised you bought it. The ONLY way to fix that is to chop all that out of there and that's the easy part. The rest, - not so much.
