before! ofcourse my wash job went to crap today...i knew it was worthless but oh well. you can see the front-high rake. had to fix that!
at lunch lol had to throw it in
what i used
getting her ready
stock 2" blocks and ubolts
then i put my summer tires/wheels on
crappy after pics since it was dark. i'll get better ones tomorrow.
slightly higher in the rear...looks PERFECT in my opinion. i'm very happy.
next on my list, new front rotors, pads all around. new shocks and an alignment. she will be 100%

the rear rotors were brand new in november. the dealer turned the fronts and replaced the rears but left the pads and they are getting pretty close to being done.
i want to go with some slotted rotors on the front and EBC yellow pads all around.

those clean pics were the before pics guys!!!!
heres the afters! i have 2.5" lift shackles in the front and 4" F-350 blocks in the rear now. it sits perfect IMO. the rear is about 1/2" higher.
the splash guards are ford OEM and they came off my old 2000 excursion after it was totaled. i had them painted to match when i had the bodywork done i love painting stuff to match lol
and i HATE the cali-lean!

on the highway it does. but these new f-150s are heavyyy. its a crew cab 5.4. gets around 12mpg around town and 18-20 highway. if i remember right its EPA rated at 13-18mpg city/highway. its all stock for now but should be getting exhaust/intake and a tuner soon.
hell my 1/2ton expedition 5.4 only gets about 1mpg better then the excursion in town. now on the highway it does alot better 15mpg+ in the summer i would think.
