Once I get this truck payed off I think I'm going to try my luck at adding a leveling kit and a small block to my already 8.5"/9" lift to get it up to 11"/11.5" of suspension to throw on some 40x15.5's. I just need it to not be my daily driver anymore first. I might even go w/ a 3" bl on top of that to get 14"/14.5" and do some 42's or something. My truck feels way too small already.

So we have a month to wait until you get this all done?

Yeah you know I wanted to do the 12" Rize to begin with and run 40's but the stupid lift laws here stopped me. I though I would still be happy w/ 38's but they just seem to normal to me. I think in order to have that wow factor the tires need to not fit in the wells. I don't wheel my truck either and I probably never will. I just can't afford to not have my truck because I got pulled over. I know a few people on here are running 40's but it is not commen at all. Too much bad info and too many nay sayers. Funny thing is that I haven't heard of one person destroying their truck from running them yet!

Very cool Matt! Its going to be kick *** You will definetly have the baddest 150 on the site! I started the search for my perfect 08+ Superduty and malibu boat to go with it about 2 weeks ago, I'm not in a huge hurry, but once I find it all it's on like donkey kong I'm stoked about starting on a combo truck/boat build! Keep me posted on your build progress man!

mainly the rear bumper and sheet metal gap gaurds.

i dont like how you drop the trailor hitch down and reweld it with a spacer so im going to section the whole bracket that mounts to the frame so im not using any of there bumper stuff.

because you cant have the hitch moved up it wont work with the rest of the bumper relocation stuff. and i think the hitch looks like garbage the way it does. so i am going to solve that problem

This is going to be a bad looking truck man... i cant wait too see it.. Id rather do an SAS to my 150 bc hardly ne one has newer 150s like that but then again id just like to keep this how it is and start off with a super duty and do all that stuff to it... so im still torn on exactly what i wanna do the sas and everything too haha.
