What motor/gears/tires are you running?

Black out the headlights and steps, then get some blacked out bed badges. Looking good so far

Haha I'd start budgeting for 4.56s right away. Do you have a tuner or any power adders yet?

No

I know gears would probably pay for them selves over time but thats another 1500 or so

Unfortunately the list of things I want is a lot longer than the list of things I can afford lol


Thanks guys! Its my first lift ever...very excited

I have a very similar set up on my truck, but have the very same truck, 4.56 gears are perfect.

4.88 's or don't waste your time. 4.56's would be ok if you never pull anything.

4.56s with 35s equal out to 3.90s with stock tires, which is deeper than 90% of the F150s out there, I think he'll be fine.
