I would love to bag mine. But not too sure about doing the tubs up front. Once you do that there is no turning back.

I'm feeling that way about notching my frame...but I want to be lower...no I need to be lower lol. I decided I want my ride height to be my current "aired out" height

If you were to notch the frame in the back would the truck sit lower or is that as low as a ART kit will go in the rear?

Travis told me he was going to do your control arms the other weekend, i was going to come over, but had other plans. Truck is looking awesome neil, but the 2009+ f150's have a weird and limited rear suspension modifications. Like you said though, they have the best ride quality ever! I love driving our 2010!

it sits on the bags and a notch would be pointless until I get the bags relocated. It'll happen the first time my welder has a free weekend!!

Looks like the arms will go on Thursday night with an alignment on Friday morning then my wife and I are off to San Antonio for the weekend. I'm hoping for some 20+ mpgs on the trip but we'll see:roll eyes:

JUst an fyi my overall average mpg for the first 9800 miles is 18.1 with a best of 19.7. I'm not regretting not getting an eccoboost so far..

well I bought another set of tails from the classifieds. The plan is to take them apart and paint just the white outline blue pearl metallic or something similar and that's it! I think that the chrome is fine and matches the headlights and grille nicely.

HUGE FAN of the bag setup!!! How much did that run you? That will be after my next deployment if I don't end up lifting my gfs Tundra.
