Just got the F150 back from the shop! Lots of pics!

I just got the truck back from the shop and it looks alot better then it did before just with a few little things added. Heres alittle info. on the truck
1995 f150 xlt extended cab. short bed 5.8l windsor and currently has 200k miles! Stock suspension on 31x10.5x15 BF Goodrich All terrains. its all org. paint!

Heres what got done at the shop...
- Billet grill
- Dualed out exhaust with 4 1/2" stainless steel rolled tips
- 20 percent tint all around with 6" visor strip
- Drop in bed liner
- Hid lights
- Performence wires
- New spark plugs
- Bug deflector
- Black diamond floor mats
- All the fluids got changed

Any suggestions or ideas for the truck is defiantly appreicated The next step i want to do is a 4" or 6" suspension lift with 35s and some new rims. As far as motor work im thinkin some LT headers and a small cam.

Before:

Now:

Why aren't they?They will just work fine but won't look as good as 15x10 obviously,but a 33/12.50/15 will go on the stock 15x7.5 wheel fine but they will be narrow and wear funny.

Thats a nice truck, very clean.

You should get the billet grille from Carriage Works that keeps the frame around it, so it matches the headlight bezels. I have seen a few guys make their own from the old original grille.

I wouldn't lift it, if it is your daily driver. The performance, fuel economy, handling, braking ability, and all around drivability will all suffer. If its your secondary vehicle then thats not really an issue. Large tires will cause the pads to wear out prematurely and make the rotors more prone to warping.

Are those real HID lights with the ballasts and all or just the simulated bulbs? If its just the simulated bulbs that are tinted, I would dump them. They actually reduce the amount of light emitted from the bulb.

IMHO, lose the drop-in bedliner, and get a spray in or roll on one instead. I've seen the damage that drop-ins can do, not only do they rub the paint off, water and debris collects under them and wreak havoc on the metal.

I also agree with TexasGuy on the grill.

NICE TRUCK! Those rims are stronger than jus bout any aftermarket rim you could possibly buy for it. Put the right size lift an go with say 37x12.50x15 after lift of course an those rims will work for any skinny tire you will want on there. I wuldnt go no wider than a 12.50 with those rims.
