The Mach is currently for sale 87k miles. Got a guy swearing he'll be here Thursday with cash we'll see how that goes but hopefully. Haven't even owned it long enough to really have fun but oh well.

Brain damage might not be permanent. I suggest you make an appointment soon. The longer you let it go.... Next you'll be living in a cardboard house w/painted windows in the corner of the yard, -and bragging about it.

Sorry for your loose(s)..

You and me both man.

The girlfriend doesn't like it and I was getting tired of it myself so it had to go.

I wish I would have been smart enough to sale it but I found a buddy that wanted exactly what I had. I told him if he'd pay to have the swap done he could have it. They are both at the shop as we speak being swapped I should have it back Thursday maybe tomo if I'm lucky. Going from 9" of lift on 37s to 3" with 33s so it should still be fun.

Nice ride for the girl. My wife has a white '09 Chevy Traverse. It's a nice ride, but not a Ford. Has alot of room and that's what she wanted.

hey i had to ask lol. If by still having 3" you mean a body lift, you can still run 35s with a little torsion crank and light trimming thats what im running now

Called this morning and had them order 35s instead!!! For 14k I'd drive the Mach to your house and detail it for a year lol. I've got it listed for 12. Nada is like 11.3 but I paid 10.5 3 months ago and dumped over 2 grand in it since. I know the bank doesn't care but I do. I'd sell it to one of you guys for the 11.3 just cause I know it'd be taken care of.

dirt rider do you have any rubbing issues at all?? When towing? I went by the shop about an hour ago and the only thing keeping me from getting the truck back today is waiting on the 35s to get in, in the morning. The 33s I ordered yesterday came in this morning but since i changed my mind on them I have to wait. That being said the owner of the shop said I could have a rear rubbing issue. The truck has a 3" body, leveling kit and the torsion keys will be turned in the front to give it that bulldog stance. I'm not to worried about rubbing in the front after trimming but after the talk the rear has me second guessing and since my bill is up to about $3200 now I'd like to not have any regrets. Thanks

sorry i havnt been back, i have an extra inch in the back just to level it but i think there was plenty of room without. If it were to rub you would just have to swap the factory 2 inch block for a 3 inch fairly cheap
