ok well yes i am the "spoiled brat" yes my dad did buy a brand new 05 f150 and yes i drive it, no it is not legally mine but technically yes they bought it for me which is why i ask my dad if it is ok to mod out my truck WITH MY OWN MONEY i have never asked my dad to buy me anything i did not ask for this truck by the way it is payed off from selling my dads lightning that i fliped and our old f350. i would rather have kept my old truck. to tell you guys the truth i hate telling people what i drive.

Not too sure what your convo with tony has to do with anything being said

That pic shows nothing of what you have on your truck

And I see you are still rather wanting to spends a lot of time digging through ftw to find a thread you started about me being a spoiled brat. And thank you for reminding me that I'm spoiled, I had forgotten about that, must have been because I have been soo busy with accepting a new job as project engineer, and getting on first name basis with the managers at the automotive proving grounds out here so I can get a job working for one of the big 3. Also I guess I do feel kind of spoiled that my dad spent his free time with me and not on the internet arguing with people for no reaso, I'm sure your son would appreciate you spending time with him instead of these childish arguments

Grow up and get over this problem you have with me

I love the ART Kit. But I have to say I did have my problems with them when I first installed them, with the front shockwaves only. I went through about 3 pairs of them in about a year period. The seal inside the shock housing kept breaking. The customer service was amazing however and ART sent me new ones with minor revisions, I guess my truck was a sort of a test truck. Well after about 3 pairs of trying to find out why these shocks kept breaking they redesigned the entire shock. There made by AFCO now. And let me tell you there freaking awesome!!!! I'll look for the new pics I took about a year ago before I put them on.

I hear what people are saying about riding on air and not laying frame, but I like the look ART gives right out of the box. I just cant see notching the frame just to get a couple more inches. But it would look sick!!!!

Yeah it's the same one on youtube. I'll get more vids soon.

Thanks. 100-105 psi in the front. I only have the shockwaves up front. Direct bolt-on replacement of the stock springs and shocks.

is your camber negative at that psi? I have to be 140-145 psi to be out of negative camber and I have a camber kit.

lowering control arms are to drop my ride height. I decided to notch the frame from the get go but it proved unnecessary until the bag mounts are relocated. I'm waiting on my welder to get freed up to modify all that.
