Now you have just about the same exact stance as a stock 4x4. Looks great, by the way!

 

Where did you get the blocks? I'd like to add 3/4" to mine to give it just a little take after installing Bilstein 5100s.

What are you doing for tires size wise? Are those 235/70r17s on there now?

Either 235/75r17 or 255/70r17 would look good and are also the oe 4x4 size. Or you could step up to a larger 265/70r17. I just had that last size, but ended up going back to 245/70r17 for milage and speedometer / odomiter accuracy.

 

Bought mine a couple of days ago first things first. I didn't notice during my test drive the old radio wouldnt turn off problem but thanks to the help of the knowledgeable folks here I finished was finding that pesky little 2 purple wires to one splice and fixed the spice. Then sealed the third break light to stop the water from leaking in and corroding the wires at a later date. Cleaned and conditioned the interior and started cleaning carpets that will be completed tomorrow and then on to detailing the outside.

 

After a long winter of salt spray, I cleaned out the engine bay. I wish fords front wheel liners did a better job. So many open gaps.

Can you let me know your process into doing this. I need to clean mine but I'm afraid.

 

Sure.

Used some degreaser on a damp medium sized towel and wiped down everything I could. After that, I used a washcloth sized towel and wiped all plastics with some Meg's trim detailer.

Spend 20 minutes. I have never and would never take a hose to my engine. Too many things to worry about.

 

replaced my blower motor resistor. My heater fan quit working on anything but hi. Started researchin. and found out on thos site that it was probably the culprit. Cost about $40 for the part and about 15 min of time. Its so nice having my fan settings back!

 

256/60x18. Mustering up all of my will power to ride these almost new tires for a awhile

 

Rented a Rug Doctor to clean the house today, spend some time with it in my car, and in my truck's Bedrug also. Both are nice and clean now.

 

I wouldn't worry about it. Those tires look fine on your truck. I have a 3" block in the rear of mine, so I have way more wheel well gap and still don't mind. Our tires are the exact same diameter. 265/60r18 = 30.52. My 245/70r17 = 30.50

 

Got the interior cleaning finished today not perfect but the previous owner I dont think ever cleaned them. funny they look different colors but it must have been the light cause they both match

^^ Think I'd jump on ebay and pick me up a new set -- that driver's side mat looks pretty rough!

 

I would double the money and buy Weathertech Digital fits! Love mine!
