Very cool. Not a fan of that body style, but the all black pulls it off NICE!

Coob, I have a line on some wheels that would look KICKASS on your rig. 22" Limited F150 wheels. White and chrome. Unfortunately, I already did the measurements, with 2" wheel adapters, I would be rubbing buy about 1/2" in the back under load/bottoming. I cannot find any adapters less than 2" ios the problem. (5x135 to 6x135)

Lol, or widen it with a different pattern. GOOD looking wheels, I wanted to have mine powdercoated white anyway. Funny thing, guy wants $1000 for them, they are in great shape. I found one in Boise for $150 with a tire on it, bought it, flipped it on Ebay for $350. While I had it, I did some measuring, it was just a tic too wide. Eh, 20 tires are cheap compared to 22 tires, and I have a Procharger in the near future, so roasting off a set of 22 tires would have been hard to stomach.

True, I've been thinking about plasti-dip my wheels white, just to change them up a little bit. I have pretty much a full lightning swap minus some easily obtainable parts that I'll probably be listing soon since I no longer have a 5.4 engine =[

question- will the factory rear blocks interchange between 04-13? If so what are the size differences between the year models?

I'm considering lowering the rear but I would like to keep some rake.

I found the height answer.
2004-2008 rear 4x4 blocks are 2 inches
2009-201X rear 4x4 blocks are 1.25 inches

I don't know if they are interchangeable or not.

Belltech 3" drop struts, DJM 5" flip with Belltech SP shocks, 275/55-20 Toyos. Finally getting aligned today, and excuse the bumper - parking lot scar.

that is by far one of the sharpest 04-08's I've ever seen!
Looks fantastic!

Thanks!

Looks like it will be going up an inch in the front though. We're having alignment problems with it. It will hold the alignment while there's no pressure on the front end, but once there's pressure it slips into negative camber. The alignment guy said no matter how tight he gets the lower control arm bolts - they slide when the truck is on the ground. He seems to think it's the front axles pushing it back out.

you need to make the inner control arm bolt holes bigger, wider, to allow for more adjustment.
