I hate it that she's dirty, but I'll post them anyways and get some better ones this week.

2" GF Shackles
Adjustable Belltech Street performance Shocks on 2" drop setting
New Moog Coils since I had a broken one
Belltech rear stock length shocks

Rides insanely smooth, getting the alignment perfected tomorrow. My buddy who did the work at his shop said I will need upper ball joints. Kinda sucks esp at only 79k but this truck has worn out fast in the front end and I am so gentle. Oh well.

This truck has come a long way from when I bought her at 17 in 09 at 36k miles. A lot of mods that people don't notice to get away from the Grandpa look

Looks good. Now, ditch the bug guard, step bars and mud flaps. No self respecting grandpa truck should have those.

Thanks everyone! I agree, another 1" would be perfect. I'm not sure how to get there, but I will not alter it until next summer. Too many other things to get done.

Definitely going to add a rear sway bar, the Dynatech Lt's and then go from there.

Mud flaps have to stay and the running boards so people can get in. Bug guard is coming off soon. Clear wrap on hood then a cowl hood is hopefully coming down the road. If I can get it to non daily stage after college, everything comes off and she's going lower and probably a body kit

Looks good buddy.

Did I spy a XLT Chrome pack S'Crew in one of those shots??? How did that get there?

We need to do a group shot with all the fords and get them up on this site. Make FordGuy break open the garage and pull those babies out so ppl can actually look at them

Just another reason to go lower! Looks good though. Sits cleaner. since when did you go to the side exit? I missed that. Nice change on that. I just can't help but say how good your truck would look with a 3/5.

Thanks Matt! Staring at the pics I think i will definitely bring the rear down more. Drop leafs should do the trick and get me around 3" drop in the rear so I sit a hair above level. The Side exit is a $100 Roush off Road kit I picked up back in December and put on a few weeks ago. Sounds incredible! I agree though, 3-5 would look slick, but with snow, I need some clearance
