Hey thumper, does rancho have coilovers for their kit?? or can you use fabtech's or pro comp's coilovers. I am really thinking about adding the dirt logics to my setup along with fox reservoir shocks for the rear.
Im not sure but I don't see why not but I like the ride.

The mud terrains will give you a nice aggressive look.
I am jealous, I have wanted that lift for a long time. Maybe one day.
But your truck looks kick ***!
That FX4 sticker makes it look tougher...
I agree with Cavemen, those 33's look awesome, that setup looks great, don't know what 35's can even do for it, but either way, can't wait to see.

When I first saw the pics, I was on the phone and the words holy $@* slipped out, I really like your new setup. You really need to take LOTS of pics when you guys go offroading, I'd rather see them dirty and I know I'm not alone. It's good to hear you fixed something that could have devalued your truck, going to have to keep that in mind. I don't even know where a wet-vac is around here though.

Awesome purchase bud.

Also, those fox shocks would look awesome on your silver setup. I really want the fox shocks as well, is it possible to just add those in the rear without much work with say a 6" procomp lift.

By the way Thump, how do you like the ride and feel? Does it feel at all tipsy?

That looks SWEET thumper. I love the stance of your truck. Like the look of the bull bar with no step bars, looks very clean. Now that I have my Daystar on, I think the bull bar is next.


NICE RIDE

I know, I need to get pictures real bad but honestly I don't want to rag on my truck that bad so it might be a while before you see any mudding pictures of the beige beast.

Nope, it feels a lot less tipsy than the leveling kit and 33s. I do like the ride a lot, Im not even sure what the shocks are set at, Im going to have 4 Wheel Parts check when I go down there to have them tighten everything.

I was actually thinking about getting these when I have an extra grand laying around.

Thump, that bestop step sounds strong enough to be used as a rocker guard, 600lbs...jeez. Are there any rocker guards for the F150 (new body style). I will definitely be getting some if so, and if not, I don't think it would be more than $200 to get some custom square tubing made to fit. I need to make some friends in the welding business, seriously.

Thumper,

Man I've been out for a while, didn't even realize you got the lift until now. That looks really good, like I want mine to look. I'm going to get the skyjacker 3" lift though, soon as I can find some wheels I like. I like the way your tires stick out. Can you tell me again what the size of your wheel/tire 33" setup is and backspacing? I'm going w/ 20's for sure, not sure what width and backspacing to achieve that look though. Also what are the dimensions of your tires?

I think it looks good as is, but I guess the 35's could look better. I never realized your tires looked like that from your old pics. I think the new lift really accents your tires and wheels a lot, and it has a near perfect look right now. Are those tires too loud or too rough? How did you like them overall?

Thumper,
Rarely does a pic cause immediate impulse reactions that makes me verbally yell out obscenities like "holy shi*", or "no ********** way". But, man your truck looks good. I dont even think you need 35's because it already looks sick. But, either way, one of the baddest F150s I have seen. I am getting ready to pick me up an 06' Screw Lariat or FX4 in the next couple of days and will put some kind of lift on the front to level it out. I can only hope that I can make mine look half as good as yours. Congrats man!

Im actually leaving in a few to go back down to 4 Wheel Parts to have them tighten everything back up so I can keep my warranty with them. and thanks for all the compliments guys!

My wheels are 18x9 with 5.5" of backspacing. The tires are 33x13.50x18 or 325/60/18. I hope this helps you out bud! If you like how these tires look and your not worried about performance in the mud, than these tires would be perfect. They are maybe a hint louder than stock tires with the radio off and AC off. I also can hear EVERY single small noise too so you don't need to worry about road noise. They are also wearing very evenly, they haven't worn down at all really, they look just like they did when I got them the first day.

I can't say this enough Thump, nice truck. When do they estimate the tires coming in?
