Thanks

In addition to removing the 4x4 sticker and pinstripe, I had the chin spoiler repainted, with a chip guard this time. It has a texture to it. It will take some getting used to ,but I wont miss the chips. All was good this morning. New wheels, shiny paint. I thought I'd test drive it a little so I ran some errands. I parked in the most inconveinent spot a half mile from the store with no one anywhere near me. What do you think I find when I come out of the store an hour later. Some p.o.s. GMC rattlebox parked right next to me when there were 1500 other spaces he could have used. One quick walk around my truck as I always do. And I find a fresh keystrike above my fenderwell on my rear qtr. How upset do you think I was ? No security cameras at the store. I even went to the gas station across the street to ask if their cameras might catch the spot. no luck. I waited for about an hour for the looser top come out. he never did. And hed deny it anyway. But I took pics of his truck and tags for future reference. Add another one to my list. Mean people suck.

Welcome to the best F150 site on the net!!!

I am running a Ground Force 2" coil x 4" leaf drop with Eibach dampers. Truck rides like a sports car, not harsh but perfect IMO.

Boost

No doubt. Ive wanted a supercharged vehicle my whole life. I just need this economy to pick up again so I can earn the dough. With the exception of a locker or LSD , I think the truck is ready for it. Its always the way though when Im working 60 hrs a week, the prices are up. When I got laid off , I found Intercooled Roushchargers complete kit for $3600, I also saw the Saleen kit for the same price. but without the OT comming in I cant swing it. Im also considering the wipple. I dont feel to comfortable buying used equipment, too many headaches. And of coarse my wife thinks Ive done enough.

Better for higher rpm, like for me passing on the freeway, which is where I do most of my driving. Also better for fuel economy, since it's only there when you need it.
