I check out the classified's alot looking for good deals. I don't really want anything over a 20" wheel. I'm not a big fan of huge wheel's. I also want a neutral sized wheel incase I ever want to take the lowering kit off and install bigger tire's. Jditta has a set of wheel's that he's been debating on selling. They are 20's and are chrome and black. I've really begun to start liking black wheel's and have thought about getting black ones for my truck. I like being different and most everyone I know that have aftermarket wheel's on their truck's have chrome one's. Thanks!

 

Good catch! I never noticed that. I alway's double check stuff before ordering to make sure it's not for a heritage model. It get's annoying when I go to a part's store to buy something for my truck and have to stand their 30 minute's arguing with the cashier that ford offered the old and new body style F150's in 2004.

 

Keep on eye on your local craigslist as well.

 

Yea i'll do that. I've seen some strange stuff on craigslist before.

 

Haha yeah same here.

 

Just tell them its for a 2003 if you have the heritage, or a 2005 if you have the newer truck, save yourself the time

 

Did you buy a kit yet?


I have a buddy selling his, I think he still has it...

Front lower control arms with moog ball joints, rear leaf spring flip kit... Gives a 2/4 or 3/5 or 2/5 or some crazy drop around in that area... We just took it off last week and lifted his truck. He only ran it for about a month or so. Even has the rear shocks with the kit.

 

hey cyclone, also hit up 87fiveoh254, he's in the market for a drop kit for his 05 STX.

Oh and i know i told you i wanted your bottle jack, but probably dont really need it after all since one came with my new truck, so just FYI on that

 

How much does he want for it?

 

My truck is a new body style so i'll start telling them it's an 05. I haven't bought the lowering kit yet. I have so much i want to buy with so little money that i'm still debating on what to buy first.

 

I will be getting a set of 20" rim's from Jditta in a few week's. I am positive that i'll be getting these but just wanted to hear some opinions from everyone. I like these wheel's cause they aren't completely chrome and I think they will look good with the theme of my truck once it's completed which will probably be never. I am wanting to get rid of most of the chrome but leave a little on the wheel's and I think these are perfect. I'm gonna get a set of 285/50-20 all season tire's. How do ya'll think this size will look on my truck till I get my lowering kit installed? It will be a few month's atleast before I get it lowered since I'm wanting to add a couple other thing's like e-fan's. Here's a photoshop someone did of my truck a few month's ago with the wheel's i'm talking about. The tire's are bigger than what i'll have once installed but it will give a general idea of the final outcome. Also my truck has changed a little since this picture was taken. I now have the tail's tinted,headlight's painted black and the bull bar removed. I plan on getting rid of the chrome bumper's and ptming the door handle's and mirror cap's. The only thing I dislike about these wheel's is the little bit of chrome on the lip's of the wheel's. I think they would look better with a solid black lip around the wheel's.

 

Those wheels are very busy.

 

What'd you do about the cut carrier bearing bracket?

 

Yea they do look busy on his truck. I think they'll look good on mine though. I'll find out when i get them installed.
