Ha! Im laughing now. Thanks for "sparing" my sensibilities.

 

Your truck looks great! I love seeing such fast expensive enhancements. Impressive, shows dedication, best dent you can leave in your wallet . Oh, and always remember..

Warm & tingly inside > gas mileage.

 

Awesome, that's what I'd be shooting for. Almost level, but still a slight rake for towing. Are yours the coilovers?

Moosenuckle, your truck looks awesome. I love the crew cab with the 6.5' bed.

 

Thanks for the compliments fellas!

 

Nice work Moose, very tasteful!
Not over the top but I bet when you park beside a stock F150 you dwarf it

cheers

 

Thank you very much cheef. That's exactly what I wanted, "not over the top". I prefer subtle upgrades....nothing too crazy. Not that there's anything wrong with that

And I do dwarf stock F150s....but they they'd be faster off the line than me

 

How do the bilsteins ride on the top setting? I've read that the spring is too compressed at the top setting and the ride is harsh... also, since the new tires change the ride dramatically, did u drive it leveled on stock rubber? Looks good btw

 

I have the bilsteins at the top setting and they aren't harsh. The ride is great and I have 10ply tires.. Still smoother than a 3/4 ton.

 

The ride quality is great actually. I am used to Platinums and stock FX4 ride quality which is very plush. After I installed the Bilsteins, I'd say the ride quality is not compromised. I have more control and less body roll. I can feel the road a bit more with the Toyos but that's to be expected. Even after the tire install the ride is fine. I have zero complaints and all 3 my kids ages 1-15 fall asleep in the back without issue. This is a notable comment because our roads here are in serious disrepair.

On various types of terrain, the suspension feels responsive but not harsh. I've noticed the suspension responds better to larger obstacles. On the smaller dips or cracks in the road, the suspension feels stiffer and I can feel it in the truck more. Again nothing over-the-top and I am pretty picky when it comes to ride quality.

 

thanks for the info and i'm glad to hear it.

 

Happy to help!
