Kind of looks like you castrated your truck

Having never driven / ridden in a lifted truck like that, how different does it feel?
I glanced through another thread of lift installation instructions, and geez, you did a ton of work in short time.

 

JD - What mods do you plan doing to your new truck first?

 

wow what a difference...

 

It was a lot of work - I am sooooo sore today!! lol The Stage I kit I had only used spacers, so it actually maintained an oem ride quality. The bigger thing that changed the ride quality was the tires. Those KM2's aren't as car-like as the stupid oem's are. lol

I'm not really sure to be honest. Probably tint the front windows first - I hate not having the front windows tinted. Then, it's save up for the new lift/wheel/tire/gears combo. I need to get my old parts sold here first so that I can have some funds to start modding. I think I have the lift sold if I can just figure out a good way to ship it since it's 150 lbs. Anyone have any bright ideas??

As far as meeting up was that this weekend or this next coming weekend? I have to work Saturday, but I'm free after 3 pm so whatever works I'd be game for something.

 

Where do you have to ship your lift to? check out craigslist, and post under farm and garden. Sometimes guys are hauling stuff and may be going someplace you need to send it. Never know what can work out.

 

D@MN!! D@MN!! D@MN!!

I want that lift, I talked to UPS and FEDEX they said that JD can't ship his lift, it's not gonna work, NEVER.

IT'S MINE! D*MN IT!

 

JD I can help you out. How about I come to lincoln and get it for you, I'll make sure it gets to it's owner MUAHAHA, ***** like that would happen, it'd be on my truck lol

 

Man JD, it looks so small now, I can't believe its back to stock. What about splitting the lift into 3 or 4 separate packages it would keep the weight down and make it easier for the shipping company as well.


And on a side note guys, I think this week I am going to be ordering a set of HID's so I should have a nice little review/ install thread up soon

 

Keep us posted on the HIDs!

 

HID's are ordered and on the way. I ordered a Xenonlink.com H13 Bi xenon 6000k set of HID's. This kit is one that will give me true high beam capability, it has a motor that adjusts the bulb position. These also have the digital ballasts so they are not as harsh on start up, also they are a true plug and play. Right now the first 5 people to order through these guys will get the first kit for $135 and then if you post a new review thread you will get a second set for free. So hopefully by thursday I will be installing these bad boys! I will take pictures with one side OEM vs the HID's on a a back road some where so you can see the difference in light out put for you guys who are considering.

 

I would say x2 on splitting the parts up. thats how they shipped me my lift. The subframe alone wieghed 80 some pounds. Actually got the parts over two seperate days however that worked out.

 

The madness has begun............starting out simple.....tinted front windows.


And Congratulations goes to a local member from Fremont known as 2005_SilverF150 on his purchase of a 6" Pro Comp Lift kit!!

Still have a nice set of 35" Wheels and Tires for sale though....hint hint....

 

Looking good and glad he ended up taking that off your hands for ya. Sure simplified the shipping process

 

Always the first, best start to mods!

too bad those tires won't fit w/o a lift...

 

noblem

Were you out at the blockbuster on 27th and Superior last night? As I was leaving I ran into a guy that had a black F150 Fx4 lifted but not a full 6. Well I got to thinking as I drove off and I thought I had seen the truck before then it dawned on me that it was your truck.(or at least I think it is) And if it was your truck that thing looks amazing
