What are the Specs on this 3.5?

Doing a vin search seems impossible, a couple different web sites tell me different things about these vin#'s and I want to know exactly what I'm getting into before I spend a boatload of dough to find out I goofed up.

Can anyone tell me if the following F150's 3.5 are an Ecoboost w/10speed tranny?

Thanks!

Looks like there is a VIN decoder built in to this awesome website. Popped up when I clicked on the VINs. both are 3.5L twin turbo charged. Funny though, the specs only show tranny gears for 1-8 . But if it's a '17 with the 3.5 ecoboost it comes with the 10. Spd standard I believe. That's what mine is.
you can tell if it's ecoboost usually also by the flex fuel badge on the tailgate. Ecoboost is NOT flex fuel compatible. Standard aspirated engines from Ford are flex fuel rated.

Pick any reputable one, they all do the same thing. Avoid names you've never heard of. You can ask about specic brands on this board. Mine is a ReadyLift 2.25". Zero issues.

Some good ones that come to mind are Autosping, Rough County, Pro Comp, to name a few. Leveling kits are pretty basic, but there is a small amout of engineering in the good ones to allow for camber correction.

There are also adjustable coil over shocks by companies like Fox, Halo Lifts/Boss, King, Bilstein and Sway Away.

I went with a spacer kit because my shocks were brand new. I'll probably go with a coil over when they need replaced.
