thanks for the info. i have been bebating whether to go 2/4 or 3/5 on my 05 flareside. you just sold me on the 2/4. thanks man. again. great looking truck. ill have pics of mine up when i get it all and put together.

 

My pleasure. W/regard to the drop, I really don't think I would have liked the ride any stiffer than it is. Not very often, but every once in while it gets to me. Never on the freeway, just on some of the crappier side streets. All in all it's very tolerable. While I've not ridden in an F150 with the 4"/6" kit, I just gotta think it's quite a bit stiffer. I had a 2"/4" kit in my '03 Super Crew. With the longer wheelbase of the SC the ride quality was close to perfect. Good luck.

 

well im actually going to be doing the DJM drop kit. soo ill get my 2/4 drop but retain the stock coils and leafs. so stock ride, just a better stance. even though the performance of the truck wont increase significantly like it would with stiffer coils and leafs, ill be happy cause this is my DD and i wouldnt be able to stand having a rough ride. i just get sick and tired of looking at the inside of my wheel wells all the time.

 

Similar look with the color combo to the 08' FMF edition expedition. Just thought I'd chime in my 2 cents. Your look is tasteful and/yet bold ! ! !

 

Looks Good don't forget the carriage vallance insert. I like the Black what about doing the same color combo on the roof and tailgate?

 

looks good...i think you should paint the roof black too

 

I'd say add the pinstripe, but puh-lease don't put color on the roof. It looks sick right now. Methinks silver would be a great choice too. Nice job

 

I did consider adding some black to the top of my ARE bed cap. It has a raised center section very similar to the hood. However, I thought it best to get the hood/grill finished (pinstriping) before adding anything else. Visually, the Flareside is a little on the "busy" side and I want to be cautious about adding any more color. I'll just live with it for a while and see how it shakes out. Thanks for all the feedback.

 

that looks really good

 

I like it! Looks Great!

 

Love the hood

 

dude that looks sweet.my truck is dark shadow grey and im thinking about doing the whole top of my truck black and i am wanting a red pinstripe.i think the silver would look good.are you going to do the roof too?it looks fine with just the hood and grille.
