ANy quieter with the cold air box? I used to like the sucking sound of the 6637, but it gets old on longer trips towing the 5er.

To be honest I cant hear the intake and I couldnt before either Im half deaf in both ears. My wife said theres no difference. Performance wise theres no gain in it but I like under the hood to look as clean as the out side thats the only reason I did it

JOHN2001 10-22-2011 03:36 PM

New shocks, I went with BDS, I dont recommend them unless your on a tight budget, I was when I got them, there better than the ones that were on there, the old ones fell apart once I got them loose.
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/p...ictureid=83134
Installed they look a lot better than the old ones

Or you can lower the truck to a functional, reasonable height and it will fit right in there. :-X22

I like the black flares on your white truck, I've always thought that looked great on white rigs.:-X22

The house I bought has 1.75 acres more than enough room for a pole barn and mama wants me to build one too :-X22 . Jeff will back me up all day long on this topic wont you Jeff. The fun that I have with it in the woods makes up for the other headaches :-jammin

Done mind him.. Hes the Stock-Nazi }> :-X04

WA.Ranger 10-23-2011 05:11 AM

I don't mind him at all, in fact if a stock ride height suited me better for my needs, it would have been left stock. Would have saved me a bunch of work, time , and money! I'm just pointing out that a stock height truck that get's high centered easily, at every drainage dug on any logging road, is not suited to me.
