A few pics from today

I've been a member for a while on here, but dont post too much. Heres some pics I took today after I cleaned it up a little bit. I think I'm about to start getting rid of the chrome, starting with the front end and rear bumper. Its a 2wd with a 2.5 inch autospring leveling kit up front and 4x4 rear block. It has a little rake, but oh well. I plan on getting the 6 inch fabtec in the future, when it gets more miles on ii and the tires need replaced. Truck only has 10k on it.

I might take the side steps off later today. What do you think?

NICE TRUCK!
I don't see too much chrome to mess with, I think it looks very sharp, and I would not remove the "steps"......just my opinion............

Personally, I'd go with a black lite bar on the front and few other items...
but I've never been a big fan of everything "black".........
THAT's a shiney clean looking F150!

NICE exhaust,too, what is that?

Truck looks good. These trucks looks alot better w/o the side steps. Only reason I leave mine on is to get my daughter in and out and my dad has Parkinson's and it's a little easier for him to get in with them on.

The exhaust is a roush off road setup. I love it.

I might get the steps off and see how I like it for a week or 2, then go from there.

Thanks guys. I like the truck a lot now as is, but I just get bored with my rides too quick for my own good. When I bought this truck I decided to take the mods a little slow, so I wouldnt get too bored with it after a year. I want to pay it off and drive it a while after before I get too crazy with it.

What about a light bar and a pair of nice lights?

I called all the local 4x4 shops and found a used set of oem 4x4 blocks. They sold me the blocks and u bolts for like 75 bones. Yes you need the u bolts as well.

Does the 2wd's sit lower factory than the 4x4's?

I mean your stance at this moment looks like my stance when I was stock with no level. And I actually like it with those wheel/tire setup.

I like it alot.
