Got tha AS 2" level kit AND tha AS 3" rear blocks on!!! (pic)

Bought my 06 4x4 bone stock last December. Been doing a little at a time when I could.
Done tent, DU-HA, 2" Level kit, 3" rear blocks, 285/70/17 tires, bead liner, and a few other small things.

I know it's not "awesome", especially by F150Online standards, but it's a working truck and family truck AND I put around 40k miles a year on my trucks so I have to be reasonable...




Up Next is PTM fender flares, PTM handles and PTM mirrors.

Yea man. I ALREADY have more miles than you on it! Bought it last December with 42k on it. Now it has 57K on it. So... 15k in a little over 3 months...4,500 a month!
I work 20 miles from home and on the weekends I run a hunting ranch thats 2.5 hours south. I go every weekend. :o
My wife on the other hand puts about 5k miles a year on her explorer. It's a 03 with like 40k on it.

Dig it. If your putting that many miles on it maybe some stuff to help out the MPGs?

CIA, exhaust, etc....

Looks Awesome !!!

Hey that looks great, I have some questions? I just installed the 1.5" AS spacers in the front and love how mine has leveled out but want just alittle more rake. When you say a 3" block for the rear, did that just pretty much bring the back end up so basically the whole truck is higher and not so much leveled out?

Is it 3" in addition to the factory blocks or is it just that the new blocks are 3" in height?

What brand of blocks and where did you get them. Those 285's fit perfectly in my mind and are probably what's going on mine after these wear out.

This is mine with the factory 255's. If by adding the blocks like you did would bring back some rake, it's something I want to do. One more question, did you have to have the rear axle shimed(sp?) to get the drive line angles back to factory?




Thanks!

Nitrox
