Today my super duty is going under the knife. Getting the wheels and tires and lift installed. Will be updating with pictures
current install list is a little modified but I'll explain why
BDS 6"coilover lift kit.
Fox 2.0 shocks all around
the coilovers are actually 8" coilovers because BDS is behind on making the 6" coilover. A Tech at BDS told me and the lift installer the 8" coilover is done but not released yet but will let me use them. Just adjust them to 6" the tech said in the long run it will be advantageous because the ride will be softer(idk how) also because they are behind on the 6" coilovers my 8" coilovers are coming with th DSC adjuster. No extra charge. Pretty excited about that!
Hypertech speedo calibrator!
they also just finished with the 2017 dual stabilizers so I am getting them installed also.
Wheels and and tires are 37x13.50r20 toyo mt and 20x10 -18 fuel beast. I wanted a little offset but not much because I am going to be driving down trails and hunting leases and don't wanna sling crap all up the side and scratch it.
Here is my truck(although some have seen it) for before and then after comparison
Meh cosmetic surgery is minor. Likely they will just use local anesthetic and not even need stitches.
My truck just went under for heart, kidneys, and artery replacement. She was out for so long they had to teach her how to run again.
FYI the tires will sling crap all over. The design of the front end lends to mud everywhere. I have +6 offsets and mud gets thrown on the roof and hood way more then my old truck.

Truck 1 I decleared a lemon. Apparently Ford Canada does not believe in lemons. Electrical paint brakes ... loads of issues. Basically 5 months of fighting. I posted a thread a while back if you want a read.
Truck 2 started having electrical issues. Camera was not working right. Key not detected. Reset of sync screen. Remote starter failed. Least of intermeitant issue pretty much like first truck. So now they have replaced the wiring harness. The BCM. Several trim pieces as result of wiring harness. One pin or A pin connector for camera. They have had the truck two weeks now.
They had issues program the new BCM. The center consol door broke but was already bad to start with. A clip on wiring harness was broken at factory leading to some of the issues they figure. Air bag warning after they rebuilt the truck, turns out loose seat connection.
On bright side Ford is now being more proactive in dealing with the problems. And second truck does not have incorrectly install brakes nor paint problems.

get the weather tech front drill less mud flaps. Clean looking and should work

I have the heavy duty ones from Ford Canada dealers with offset bracket. It's due to the top forward part of the wheel sticking outside of the wheel well due to the angling on the front of the truck. Or at least that is my assessment. No mud flaps will cover that unless you add a flair. Most won't drive in deep enough mud to notice it I would imagine.
Alright so I got everything installed. Holy crap was I tired they started at 8 am and didn't finish till 1030pm then I had an hour and half drive.... ugh.
So below i will show some pictures of the lift.
I also am having a little issue. I have had people say it's the crown in the road but idk. So when I am going around 45mph and up the truck if you hold the wheel straight it'll want to veer to the right so you gotta kinda hold it at a tilt to the left to keep the truck going straight, and when you let go of the wheel it veers to the right . The shop owner said that everything was lined up right when I left but then I noticed that. I haven't contacted him but will alert him Monday about this.... has anyone had this issue? And if so what did you do to correct it?
i would really appreciate help.
Below is pics! More to come. This is the photo where you have to hold the wheel at a tilt to keep it in a straight line. Mustang isn't mine it's my girlfriends dads. I have no idea how to use this DSC anyone willing to explain? Is there a way to change the stock tire pressure to let me lower the air to 60 psi and not throw a code?
they said they did. Right before I left they were doing a few things under the front to light up the wheel but they said since these trucks have a solid tire bar or whatever it's called I forgot. That you don't align these? I'm clueless.
I also just just found where my factory stabilizer was it's been replaced with one that came with the lift and the nut was barely on there. maybe hanging on by two threads.
