LOVE that stance!

Spec? Lift? Wheels and tires? Pretty much exactly the look, stance wise, I want.

My real question is how do you use the bed or for that matter .... get in and out of the driver's seat?

Reminds me of last year's local Prom weekend and I was at Walmart parked near a raised F-150, though
not as high as yours. Young fellow in a tux with his date in her gown came out of the resturant and
headed to the truck. He got a small step ladder out for her, it was quite a show.

I had a new driveshaft custom built for the truck and the axle re positioned to help with the angles. Im not running anything bigger than 41s on this truck. 40s is even pushing it on this IFS truck but when i first got it i just wanted to get what i wanted on it before getting as much knowledge as i know now. Gonna be more for show and weekend drive than anythign now.

That was the only one I've seen, I'm pretty sure that 09 was the last year of them

Here's my dads 06 screw/flare towing my 07 to the trans shop last spring

I meant the bed itself. I've been selling f-150's for years now.

There's a couple of '09 Flaresides in the area here that I see, one is a beautiful Blue '09 Scab F/S uip at Staunton, seen it a few times, same driver.

Yeah I just checked. Can't get a flareside anymore. It's funny though, when you build a new F150 online, the picture for the Supercab has a flareside bed on it.

Easy man

12inch Rize + 3inch Body Lift + 2inch leveling kit = 17inches of lift. Not the best route for my truck but then again shes gonna be kept out of the mud for now on and just get money thrown into it till i feel done.
