no supercharger for new f150 4.6l. sorry to disapoint you.

as for prices.

what size tires did you settle on?
i paid 2100 for lift installed. 1550 for wheels and tires (17's on 35" bfg at/ko)
400 for custom tune. 250 for intake.
so thats $4200. gearing is not a must if you stay with 35's and do need to tow anything huge.

i would say do a 6" and 35's. try and find a used set of 35's. save for a year or so and then 2 more inches of suspension. 3" body, regear. and then possibly 40" tires with minor trimming.

programming your truck will make a difference. its not as complicated as you are thinking it is. not of this is really. you just have not been on the forums long enough to understand all this stuff. just keep reading through everything and you will know the do's and dont's real quick. if you need any help ill be glad to help you. me and mt are the two people w/ 4.6's lifted off the top of my head with the NBS. and 4 wheel parts will tell you not to lift your truck because it has a 4.6. dont listen to them. there idiots.

he is refferring to the bafoons at 4wheelparts. Its an off-road installer/parts seller. They are morons and don't know your tires, from your cell phone. Don't let them touch your truck (he is saying they tell you not to lift, because our engines can push large tires)



Sweet vids btw, that ATV seems to kick some *** !

You want a bumper/grill guard, a different hood, side steps, a cowl cover, etc etc etc. I think it will start getting way to busy, way to fast. Sometimes, leaving it plain, says a lot more about the truck, and its owner. Go simple, and go nice. The grill guard would be sweet, maybe the fender flares too (not a fan, but again, its YOUR truck) but thats about where I'd keep it.

Remember, you wanting performance mods, then you list appearence mods. Kinda confusing....

Banks is aimed more for the 5.4 Doesn't have as much to offer us with the 4.6 . No ram air at least. There are cheaper kits out there, that do the same thing.


That grill is bad ***, and I love em, but with the grill guard ? Its one or the other IMO.

Vents look good ! I actually just saw a F150 probably two days ago with them, and it looked nice.

That tail-gate thing. I want one, but because I have a nasty ding I don't want to try and take out in my tailgate. This would cover up, and looks alright. Looks like the Nissan tailgate cover thing (I think its Nissan)

both these mods are pretty sweet ! Gauges are usefull too. You can get digital gauges with something like the scangauge, and it does a lot more then just act as gauges. Something to think about. Or, if you go with the Gryphon from PHP, it also comes with guages to monitor your rig.

Do gears before the other performance mods.

I have 35" tires, the 5.4L, 3.73 gears, custom tunes by Troyer, K&N intake and Roush catback, and my truck SUCKS uphill, especially at elevation. I cant stand it, the tranny searches for gears nonstop, even with OD off, no power, bleh.

Once i have the extra funds to afford it, 4.88s are going into my axles. Hopefully this winter sometime.

And MT is out of his mind...the stereo comes first. The stock one SUCKS.
