Just thought I would throw up some pictures of the truck not to much done yet and its not mine its the girl friends truck, we are starting to modify hers slowly so I thought I would join a F150 Forum. So here are some pictures.





The STX sticker is no longer on and the mud flaps are coming off next spring gotta save the black paint over the winter some how. She also has a set of 24" All Black Giovanna Canelli and probably a very large drop to sit close to my GMC

Ya we have been talking about it and because they put so much salt down on the roads here they will save the paint. As for the mod list coming soon is a smooth wiper cowl and in the spring mud flaps are gone probably a 4/6 or 5/7 drop and 24s. She also wants to get the fenders with the vents and either shave out the tailgate or go to a fleet side bed, plus a few other performance mods.

nice lookin trucks! i hate to say it but im with the others on the mudflaps... and you may want to do a little research before you buy the drop kit. i really dont think a 4/6 with 24's would work without serious rubbing issues, and a 5/7 would be out of the question unless you are planning on doing some major body/suspension modifications. im running a 3/5 with 22's and i dont think i could go any lower without issues...

anyway happy modding and good luck

I have a feeling that it wont go larger then 4/6 for the drop. But what size tire are you running on the truck right now with your 22s? This is why I joined the site Im not super familiar with the newer fords when it comes to how big of drop and stuff. If its a GM no problem but not Ford.

well im not sure exactly, but im guessing that with those larger rectangular wheel wells, you can get away with lower with the gm trucks. im running 305/40/22's and do rub when i have the front wheels all the way turned. you could run a lower profile tire with the 24's, but your in for one hell of a rough ride... not to mention i think too low of a profile looks kinda crappy. but thats just my humble opinion

Ya i have seen a couple guys run a 4/6 on a reg cab a while back. Im running the same size tire on my truck right now and its actually rides really nice not tons of sidewall but it does the trick for me and she dont complain about it when shes in my truck so see how things go i guess and i will be about an inch shorter overall height then you too for the tire size that might help a bit.
