Hey Lariat go with a lund cowl cover i installed one on my truck and it looks great it was easy to install and it really improves the looks had some problems with the tape so i went ahead and drilled the holes in the a pillar nothing big and its totally hidden when the doors are shut bout a 20 minute job workin by yourself ive had it on a while and it is still holding up strong your truck looks great i like the brushguard and pushbar assembly and the kc's another thing i think looks nice is the side window louvers made by AVS theyre pretty cheap and they look great on trucks wher the ex-cab windows look bare
good luck

Hey Jdm,

HOLY *****!!!
That's awesome. I could never do that. Too much height for me for a daily driver.
Nice though.

 

That is a phat truck. I don't think I've seen an F-150 that high. Over hear, nothin' but rich people with 14" lifts w/ 44"'ers, on their SuperDuty's. Anyways nice truck. Complement the owner of that truck for me, if ya know him

 

JDm
The Lift looks Awsome. I just have one question how the hell do you get into the cab?
That allmosts looks like a early 70's Bronco spring mount on the axle.

 

That truck has a 10inch suspension and a 3inch body. Fabretech the company also makes 6inch 8inch and 10inch suspensions. maybe you should go with a 6inch and some 36x14.50 tires.

 

Putting this back on top.

 

That's what I want is the 6 inch version and the DANA 44 front axle. (no body lift)

They way I see it is the Kit cost 2,200 (roughly) a brand new axle costs around 1,000 and up depending But a Rebuit one would be considerably less. AND you could have them install a Locker or LS and what ever gears you wanted!. doesn't cost too much to do the rear end only gear swap. Plus you could get it in stages, buy the axle, the wheels/tires and then the Kit and install it all at once.

so figure a Normal lift kit is aroud 1500 and you still have to Lower you gears if you want to run bigger tires ( for IFS its $$$ 1,000-1,200) in the long run its better and cheaper to swap to a solid axle. Much better off road, much stronger with larger tires. and Easier to work on than IFS.

And if you later decided to go crazy you can actually swap to 10-12 inch coils and adjust the kit to work .
