Mcgaughy's 2"/4.5" Suspension *Pictures*

I got time to clean up the truck a little and snap some quick shots.
Suspension rides like a dream, as cushy as stock unless youre on a really bad road.

Feedback welcome

I'm not usually a huge fan of big wheels but that looks very nicely integrated. Good job!

Thank you. I was careful when choosing wheels. Ive always had lifted trucks, small wheels huge tires, but on this one I wanted to go with a stealth look and didnt want flashy chrome wheels. It will look much better when I swap out the grill for a XLT black trimed and black insert one. Still debating on the running bars. I dont use them but theyre growing on me.

Please stop calling we have a winner!

And I thought I have a nice black F 150.
That looks sweet!
Best Black Truck award.

Its going to look very nice with my custom blacked out headlights with Q45 Gattling Gun projectors retrofitted inside.

Charles....

That is one sweet looking black Ford! It's good looking with the front end the way it is now. After your mods it will look even better! Great job!

I second the motion for Best Black Truck award!

Wow, is all I can say is I really like the way that truck sits. Not too low. Those wheels match perfectly too. I think I really want to get that McGaughys kit.

IMO... I think you should ditch the side steps. They just dont really look right to me... but thats my opinion...

Otherwise.. Great looking truck

Looks excellent! Keep the chrome step rails too; they help bring the look together with the bumpers and rims.

The truck looks goood!

I agree keep the steps, they make the truck flow from the front to the back. If I was going to do a 2WD truck this is exactly what I do!

nice job, the stance looks good. I think 1 more inch lower all around would look perfect.

I say remove the step bars, why have them on a lowered truck?

1 more inch would actually be too low. I didnt want a lowrider look, just a clean drop. Pictures always seem to make it look different than in person. It really looks all well leveled and the right height in person. The bars dont do anything but for looks at this point. As some people stated, they really tie things together since im keeping the bumpers chrome. I was going to take them off the 1st day I had the truck (20 days ago) but im having 2nd thoughts.

Hello HIDPLANET,

Glad to see you got your McGaughys drop on. Hope I didnt steer you in the wrong direction. It seems your pretty happy with it. I still have had no problems with mine what so ever.
I have to say it really looks sharp!! Cant wait to get mine back.......getting painted right now.


Later..........
