Thats kinda why I joined this forum, I'm planning on poking around and learning from everyone on here as to what works best and what others have done. Oh and btw its got the 5.4

 

you shouldn't have much trouble with it as most of the issues had been worked out by 2006 aside from a few early year models. Anyway congrats on the truck!

 

 

I wish I could keep my truck this clean. Sweet looking ride. That thing has a mean stance.

 

Thank you, I like the stance alot as well. but I have been toying with lowering the rear a little more to leval it. and I had just washed it a couple days before the pic. I am pretty **** about keeping it clean.

 

My Roush Supercharger and 4.10 gears go in this weekend, ill keep you guys up to date on it, I wont be there for the install but ill put some videos and pictures up, let me know if anyone wants anything more specific. Thanks- Tony

 

I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone on here live near the Virginia Beach, Virginia area? It'd be nice to see/meet some of you guys from here, and look/compare vehicles personally.

 

Pics below are of roush charger intercooled system almost completely installed and the second is of the new Ford Racing 4.10 gears. The rear end got new bearings, clutches and seals . Any questions let me know im gonna post this in the supercharged forum too. I know this isnt the right one but i was excited.

That thing will be sick man. Excellent work.

 

Thanks an ASE ford mechanic helped me, I drove it yesterday and its awesome, ill post a picture of the custom gauge pod later today. Thanks for the compliments!

 

I worked on lifting my truck back to stock height and it's a heck of a difference. I bought the truck lowered and whoever lowered it didn't cut relief in the frame to allow the proper clearance. I didn't want to risk cracking my frame or ruining my axle any longer. I managed to purchase 2 complete strut assemblies plus shipping and handling all for about $185 from RockAuto.com. They have awesome prices and great selection for Original ride quality, Economy, and Increased Handling/Performance.

Here's the before:


and After:

 

As far as I am concerned, it looks MUCH better. Nice work on the deal as well.

 

Thank you...I'll tell you this much it rides a heck of alot better! The ride before hand was really harsh, but it was ran around down in Florida and from my experience driving around Florida on vacation I can see why the ride never bothered the previous owner...lol. Florida roads are a heck of alot nicer/smoother than Virginia roads.

 

Finally got a chance to really detail the truck. I havn't done it since I bought it 5 months ago (its only been cleaned by the cheapo car washes).

Here it is all cleaned up:

 

Hey Clint, how do you like the 295/70's? I've heard you can get 35's on with minor trimming inside the wheel well, but like that the 295's a little narrower. That should have put your truck up about 1.5" or so over stock tires right? Every little bit of ground clearance over that independent front suspension counts. Having a tough time deciding between a super duty and an f-150 for my next truck.
