My new 05! =)

I just got this 2 weeks ago Its an 05 with the 5.4 3v. Three days after I bought it, I ordered the DJM kit, its lowered 3.5 inches up front and 6 in the rear. It took them 2 weeks to get my wheels in, so I have waiting to take the pictures till now. What do you guys think?

Looks REAL good. I think the chrome accents for the hanles would make it look even better.

Hard to believe thats a 6 inch drop in the rear from the way it looks. But the truck looks great....not a fan of big chrome wheels but it does look good.

I dont think it dropped 6 inches either, but I didn't use the 1 inch lift shackle used in the kit

Thumbs up

Sweet! I almost ordered my F150 through Friendly Ford, but decided to go with Team Ford. Official order will be put in on the 29th of April, and hopefully I'll get the truck around the end of June. I got a bright red FX4, which I plan to lower 4" in the rear and 2" up front with the McGaughy's kit.

Did you do the lowering yourself, or did a shop in Vegas do it?

I'll be putting 22's on, and contemplating a custom competition orange front paint job on mine after a few more of the mods are done.

My suggestions for yours are a verticle billet grille, billet door handles and billet chrome mirror covers.

Maybe I'll catch you around Vegas.
