2009 F-150 lowering nearly done

Just about finished lowering the F-150. I used Belltech struts set to 3", a belltech flip kit, and Monroe load-adjusting shocks to firm up the rear and give a little rake. Got the wheels off CraigsList while I was at it to finish off the look I was going for. Harley/Raptor headlights and taillights. Magnaflow Dual exhaust too. Sounds fast, looks fast. Still just an F-150...

Just need to get the alignment redone since they didn't adjust the camber the first time. Then I need to get the tailpipes remade to clear the axle when going over bumps.

I agree. I may get around to that in the future.

dam it looks good. And see the running boards dont look bad they just need to be pulled closer to the truck so there isnt a gap.

Very clean and slick!

You should go get a 2010 FX2 grill now.

Not much left that I want to do. I have Infinity speakers in the truck to help compensate for the LAME audio system, but I need to get an amp in there. I'm hoping that somebody will make a simple plug & play solution for the 04+ trucks soon. Not a fan of hacking into OE wiring.

The last things will be a Line-X bedliner, and finally some 20-30% tint.

275/55-20

They've thrown my speedometer off by about 3mph @60mph. It's the same Pirelli tires that all the 20" F-150 models come with. Drove home in the rain last night and they seemed to have less traction than the OE 18 Michelin tires.
