Like I mentioned in last months BS thread, I just bought this 2005 F150 from my brother-n-law. He bought it when it had about 14,000 miles on it. Apparently, the first owner installed drop shackles to lower the rear end down. B.I.L. installed a leveling kit and ended up with this:



Looked mean, but I wanted a more subtle (old married man) look. I went back to the original wheels and tires, and replaced the drop shackles with OEM shackles and now have this:



I added vent shades on the windows and will go up a size on the next set of tires.

Looks good. Should be able to flip those aftermarket wheels for a few bucks to offset some bigger tires.
