Cool! I couldn't decide if I wanted the big fat racin' stripe down the middle, or some sort of checkerboard scheme

Things are going well here... although I did get stuck in the driveway twice yesterday. I do believe that six inches of snow is a tad too much for the Lightning... becomes more of a plow than anything

I can't wait to see the new seats in your truck. I wouldn't consider that BLING... it will look nice and not be all flashy and shiney.

I just can't stand the material on the stock seats. I only have 8500 miles on it, and you know how compulsive I am on keeping it clean, and the d@mn area where I slide in and out was starting to wear already.
Besides, I like black interior better.
The trip to the plant which normally takes me 35 minutes, took over an hour yesterday in the Supercrew yesterday, but most of the slow down was when I would catch up to a plow, or a pack of cars that could not decide which lane they wanted in.
I bet the F-1's do plow a lot huh?

Hmmm... so I could put this together relatively easy by using 3" lowering shackles in the rear, Eibach springs in front, and Western Chasis A-arms up front? Different choice on front springs to get the same drop amount?

Thanks

plain is the best... the truck next door.
i think some billet looks nice, like i bet if he put on a billet antenna/ and grille, that would be even tighter...

i have a drop, w/ the billet grille, antenna, and i have the window tint... and i think it looks great, the only other thing i might do is get 20's in chrome....... so i dont know why you would say billet is not good looking, i think over billet is bad, but you gotta have some to dress it up, and get the paint and chrome to accent each other.

my .02 though.

They are 20s, I posted that the truck was stock to see if people would notice since most dont get the 20s painted and I dont care too much for Chrome

My point is that SVT got the truck close from the factory.
The painted wheels look way better IMO and im surprised nobody did this drop with painted 20s sooner
