Alright I got my pics after the tint and autospring, tell me what you think!

Before:


After:


It still has to be aligned so I'm thinking it will go down .25 to .5 in in the front.

Heres the rest of pics - https://www.f150online.com/galleries...w.cfm?num=7449

THANKS!

Before the install it was exactly 3 inches different front to back. Now it's a little over a half an inch difference.

Whats wrong with the STX stickers, I think they look nice. Truck looks good KaNigit. Are you thinking about wheels and tires? What style?

It's the 1 5/8 in = 2 in lift Autospring. I'd say I got a good deal on it the total for the lift and after alignment + tax tommorow morning at 8 am will come to $120 ( I found someone on sell it to me for a $75 shipped! - THANKS JOHN!) Overall Id say I got a really good deal and I like the look.

Actually Im still debating the sticker thing, I'm leaning towards taking it off but I just can bring myself to do it in case I change my mind and regret it. As for rims/ tires, I actually just turned in an application at discount tires to start in the new year because one of my good freinds works there and hes said theyve got nice pay/ management. and best of all 15% employee discount. I think im gonna go with 33" BFG's on the stock rims (call me crazy but I actually like em!)
