Gotta love the power steps. So glad I ordered them. I hate the way side steps look. Your truck looks WAY better with them off!...Cant wait to see the flares on. There was a black truck with 38's and flares that looked great.

 

Love this thread. What you're doing to your truck is essentially what I want to do to mine. Very inspiring! Gorgeous truck, too. Keep it up!

 

Thanks! I was a little worried that these new steps may not be as nice as I had heard, but I was wrong. They are really well designed and built, and the install went smoothly with their detailed instructions. They feel very strong and solid, and I'm 270lbs so I'm a good tester lol Very happy with this purchase!

Thank you! I figured thread this might help people decide on mods for their truck. I'm thankful to be at a point in my life that I can build my dream truck, back in the day this project would have taken me years to put together, rather than weeks or months.

 

Getting started on the audio system upgrades!

 

Ok now where does all this stuff go again?

 

What sub box is that?

 

Unfortunately it's one that doesn't fit the truck. I got it from supercrewsound.com, they were very nice about it when I called on the phone, and they are sending me a prepaid return label to send it back. It's about an inch too thick and about an inch too tall, and even with no subwoofer mounted in it the back seat will not go into the up position. I sent them a bunch of pictures of the fitment so I think they'll probably redesign it. I wish it fit because I would have been happy with it otherwise.
I might get a JL Audio Micro Sub, they have one with dual 8" W3 woofers that looks like it just might fit and they sound great.

 

She's a huge bitch but she can flex a little bit LOL this was right after I took a truck load to the metal scrap yard, can you believe this thing weighs 7900 pounds?!?

 

Looks good! What have you done to the rear suspension?

 

Still stock, custom stock height Deaver springs on order though. I'm kinda running out of money to put into this truck until I sell the stock wheels and tires and side steps hahaha

 

Wow. Looking back at some of your pics, your truck looks surprisingly level. When I put the 4.5" Carli lift on my 2011 F350, after I had just the front done, you could easily tell the truck was lifted in the front and stock in the rear.

 

It was advertised as a 4" lift from Pure Performance, but my truck did seem unusually high in the back before I put the front kit on. Mine had the 3.55 gear ratio option so maybe it has extra heavy duty rear springs? It is a little higher in the front still now.

 

These new Super Dutys come with a lot more rake from the factory, that definitely helps.

 

That sucks! It will be nice if that JL Micro Sub will fit...good little box, Looking forward to see what you do!

 

You're doing an amazing job, that is going to be one awesome looking, capable truck when you're finished!
