Well Nick, that's a start!



U might bet a bit less hostility now that u r lettin everyone know a bit about ya. U don't have to be as open as Dan that's for sure.




So plans for the F150?


I'm just being nice for the day, tomorrow might be a different story.

togtfo newb!!!!

are the front coils that shot, or is it just the helper springs jacking up the assend that has it so racked? piece together a 4'' front lift and go from there. 4'' is about right for 33's or 35's. if you went 6'' and decided to stick with 33's it would look mucho retardedo....

p.s. dave is a big meany head

are you sure the 2 wheel drive coils are the same diameter? i've heard otherwise, not saying you're wrong, but let me know if they are the same or not if you do it. idk if they would be much taller than the 4x4 coils, just stiffer....

4 inch lift n 35s r a good combo, 33s with 4 inch, too much fender gap.
