No my truck does not have the HD package, that is only available with an 8' bed, regular cab or supercab youhave to have the 8' bed.

If you think the truck looks rugged their then if you saw it with the stainless steel rocker panels you'd really like it, it looks heavier with them on it.

The HD package will make it sit higher becase theier is more springs in it, it will ride rougher as well.

That is without a doubt - THE BEST looking F150 I have ever seen. It's such a breath of fresh air to see something that dosent look like a beefed up sport trac.

Not to nitpick though, but while a leveling kit may give a stronger look - it also changes the characteristics of a loaded bed - rear end sag will be much more exaggerated with a full load on a leveled truck - at least without the aid of timbrens or add a leafs.

Good point. If I leveled my truck I'd also put air bags on the rear.

You really have me wanting to see those rocker panels. If I didn't NEED the 8 ft box I'd get something remarkable similar to yours. (I still have issues with autos though)

That is a nice and rugged looking as well. I would go with the regular cab, but this is more along the lined of what I'd go with. I don't know about the leveling kit, but I'd get the plow package for sure.
