BLACKOUT's 2010 F150 MOD progression thread

Found a set of black XD Addicts 22x9 on here that I'm going to buy. Just have to wait until the guy gets his new rims in and the XDs are coming off and my brother (MiltIV) is going to meet him to pick them up and store them for me until I get back from Afghanistan. Great price too! Just have to wait until I get home to decide on the 3in lift with 33s or bigger with 35s. What do you think? You have the 3in with 35s right?

IMO I wouldn't go any smaller than 35's on 22's, I think it the perfect fit for the truck.. You can get a 3" leveling kit and add 2" block in the rear if you want to keep the cost down or you could go with Bilstein 4x4 2" adjustable shocks, They are 1" taller than 2wd shocks and can crank them up 2" to give you 3" up front and they are fairly inexpensive ... Or you could splurge and go with coilovers for better ride quality..

I finally got my SVT decals in from Sweden.. I wanted to follow the lines of the Raptor's logo, But at the same time keep my own "brand" without making a cheesy "clone" type decal and still make it part of the SVT lineup... I like to build my truck to look like it could have been built by Ford and keep it CLEAN looking!

Mine is sitting at 3" in the front right now .. Coilovers cranked to 2" + they are 1" loner than 2wd so making it 3", I still have 1" that I can crank the coilover but no need to.. I have 2" blocks in the rear.

How about I will lift mine and when I go home every now and then, we can trade trucks for the next 6 months until I go home again trade back. lol. I was joking at first...but this doesnt seem like a bad idea. Maybe you need to throw a little more money into yours though just so it's even with my expenses when I get home and done with my truck. Definitely could be done though.

i may just buy some off road wheels and tires/ lift components and switch it up from time to time so i can be dropped for several months then lifted for several months. im never satisfied anyway so that would be good for me. lol

That's exactly what I was telling my boy Sullivan. I was going to buy the drop kit and have that in the corner of my garage and throw the lift kit on with the aftermarket rims and tires, then 6 months later, switch it back to stock rims on lower sidewall tires and the drop kit. I think I'll be fine with the lift alone with two sizes of A/T tires. You can drive mine when i'm home on leave and see how much you like it. And you already know I'm dropping some dimes on the whip when i get back....like I always do.

HA! put your parts on then we'll talk about who has more money in thiers. lol. that would be kinda tight but that would never work. one of us would put way too many miles on the others truck or crash it or something and it would be a bad deal.
