Well it's been a long time comin, but it finally happened. Got my 4" Rancho put on last week. Weather has been nasty or I would have put pics up sooner, but dirty pics are a no no. But here are a few quick pics, I will take more later and post them. I'm gonna try to park next to some 4x4 Dodges and Chevys to compare and get some pics, and some stock 4x4 F150's too. Hope you enjoy, I sure am happy now









Can't wait til bigger tires, but gonna have to wait a bit. I sure hope you like it, I know a lot of ya'll know how long I have had to wait for this. So thanks for putting up with me for so long, whining about not having a lift

Congratulations! If you don't mind my asking, what did you pay for the lift (installed)? Looks great.

Very nice, mudder! Can't wait to see the bigger tires. Speaking of that, how big of a tire can you get on there, now?

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Swamp Rat, the lift all together with install was $2679.

Zen, I'm guessin I could fit 35's, but am not gonna go that big. I'm thinkin about BFG 295's, or Pro Comp 305's. Not real sure, still got time to think.

 

DAVENSA-- wish I could make the rally...I'm stuck at school in Louisiana. Plus, I'll be recovering from Mardi Gras ->doubt I'll be able to walk, let alone drive.

 

Mudder....the truck looks great!!! I was going to take this offline but since you don't have an e-mail listed, here goes!

Were you satisfied with the staff, the work and treatment of your truck at 4 Wheel Parts Wholesalers? I have no axe to grind, just looking for a good shop in case I decide to lift my truck when it arrives.

Zach,

Thanks. I was pretty happy with the work done, only took them two days to finish. I have always had a problem with the front desk service, they seem to be to busy on the phone than to deal with the customers up front. But I really didn't know of another place around the area that would do a better job. I just knew that they lift a lot of trucks, so they know what is goin on, and that they are professional. They lifted my buddies truck, and did a good job. So far all is well, and I'm pretty happy. If you do go that route, good luck, and let me know, maybe I can meet you up there or something. You should also check out the Texas Chapter, maybe you have heard of it? Here is a little run down, lots of F150's in a club with good people. A bunch of the members are here in D/FW. We are having a rally in San Antonio March 2-4th. So far there are gonna be close to 40 F150's.

gofish,

The truck rides a lot better, and handles so good. A little stiff in the rear, but better than bouncing I guess. I love it, better than stock.

 

Lookin good man! Are you done with your truck yet or are there other mods you will be doin. Looks great
