It looks really good but you should really consider a brake upgrade as soon as possible!!!
The first set of 22's I had with 33'' tires really made my brakes feel inadequate. I imagine you noticed it with the first set of rims so you know its gonna get worse. The rims look great but please address safety.

Yup yup. The before pic was a 6" lift with cranked coilovers, AAL, and 35s. It really didn't look all that bad in person either. Pictures amplify the size difference between lift and tires but to the naked eye it's not near as noticable.

Thank you for your honesty.

im afraid to ask but how much do those wheels go for ?
Rotors are definitely next. Braking power isn't all that bad as of now but it needs to happen.

MSRP for the wheels is $480. How much would you pay for them? I can tell you straight up that I didn't pay close to that.

Once again the guys at European Auto Repair took care of me. Gears are great, big difference. The only thing I'm looking into is my shift points, seems to shift pretty quickly on me. The drive was cool- Saw a nice sun rise in Arizona, Mississippi is a really nice lookin' state, and we got a great sun set over the water as we came into Florida. Made it here in 3 days lol. We'll be able to see much much more when it comes time to the return trip home.


Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm working on getting some more pictures up as I realize that there are many other shots I haven't taken. Didn't notice until when I was posting last night that all the pictures are of the right side haha.

<-- Wtf?

Ah so my F150 isnt the only one on this site thats been in MTs shop (besides his own, of course). So what kind of gears did you go with? I'm looking to put in some 4.56s and a rear locker in the near future.
