Truck is finished

Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks set on 2" up front, and 3" spacer block in back with Bilsteins back their. Wheels are from Discount MB Wheels Torque, and the tires are Hankook ATM 305/55/20. The wheels match the brushed aluminum on the front grille and the huge ugly rear panel as well. :nod: Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics.






Tires stick out a bit more then I would like but the look is great. It just sucks going down the road to the Pit. You can hear rocks bouncing off the truck. May still get some wider fender flares for the protection. :whoknows:

Wow that looks great. Very clean and almost a factory type of look to the truck.

How do the Bilsteins ride? My fiancé bought me a 2" Autospring but I'm still debating to put it on or get the Bilsteins. What size blocks do our trucks come with?

Well I actually bought the 2" autospring but after some research I found they didn't ride as nice, so I went with the Bilsteins. Now my ride is not as good as factory but that could be because the stiffer sidewalls on the tires. Overall the ride is still VERY good.

In the rear they are 1 and 3/8" block and so the replacement block was 3" so just about 1 and 5/8" taller. Don't quote me on that as I don't have them here and I am guessing. You will need to go to a longer Bilstein shock to work with the 3" block though. I let me local ford dealer do it for me since it would need a realign and cost was only 242 for the rear and 255 for the front and he threw in the alignment since he just did it. Worth it and I didn't have to get dirty!

Yep was curious what a different (truck) crowd would think. You have to have thick skin to post over there, but thanks for the compliments.

Haha your title made me laugh. Your truck looks good man but if you hang around here often your truck will never be finished!
