Love the truck... AWESOME!!! Stock height really does suck... I was looking at red '03 and the @$$ end is just sky high!!!

Later all,

Thanks for the replies everyone. The wheels are 20x9. They'll soon be replaced by a set of 20x10 Boyd Coddington smoothie 2's. The drop is mix and match.

Front coils are Chassis Tech
Rear leafs are Hotchkis
Rear shacles are Belltech
Shocks are Doetsch Tech
Front end links are Daystar
Rear end links are So-Cal Speedshop
Bumpstops are Energy Suspension

My alignment guy couldn't get the Napa cam kit to work. Tried a brand he recommended and everything worked out nice. Thanks for all of the great ideas passed around on the board. I'd be lost without my daily fill of F150online.

They ride pretty decent for being lowered. I think switching shocks helped too. I had the stock Billsteins on my 01 lowered. The new Doetsch Techs I bought are firm but still liveable.

Dan, my 20" reps went on the new truck and the stock 18's went on my white L I traded in. I kind of liked the new style myself. When they come out in chrom 20" I think people will really dig them.

Fox32601, I already had the 01-02 20" reps from my last L. I just swapped them over before I traded her into the dealer. It's still on their lot.

Thumbs up Nice truck!

WoW they want a lot of money for your old truck. After seeing those picks if some1 offered me a reasonable amount for my truck I would take it and go buy an 03 Sonic Blue. You have one bad azz ride. One of the nicest I think! -Mat-

I'm down around 16"3/4 from wheel well lip to center of stock wheels.
You look like 17"1/2...wild guess....

Measurement is about 17 1/4. Used L prices in Phoenix are crazy. Most of the time they go back on the lot for $31K-$33K. They always sell though.
