that thing looks sweet! thats what im planning to do with mine. did you have to do anything with the front drive shaft?

I think the truck should be dubbed "the black mamba"
Looks good though Dustin. I'm still waiting for my 5.4 springs to settle. I'm 1/2" higher in the front measuring 38" from ground to center wheel well in rear.

Good lookin' ride. I saw the hitch is still there. Do you still tow with this truck?

You definitely didn't remove the main leaf in the rear. Did you pull the bottom overload leaf or one of the middle ones? How much did it change the ride? I have been thinking of removing a few leafs in the rear and using the air bags to keep the load capacity up.

Truck looks awesome, For being a lowered ford.

Bottom overload is what i took out. ride is better without for sure, and i have air bags to put on it, "incase" i tow LOL

It's not my style, but it looks like you did a good job on it. My favorite look was when you had the 6" with 37s, but its your truck an as long as you like it

i dont miss it other than the looks... but it was a good look. Im missing black wheels tho.

UMMM.... i 4000 lb boat is about it... im thinking about ditching the hitch, my wife has a yukon now that will pull the boat, and i hate the way the hitch looks, only reason its been on this long is sled pulling

take hitch off, remove wiring, replace hitch for pulls only, thats what i did when i had a roll pan.

badges..... need a better look but im questioning them at this exact moment. i know how tough those bastards are to guess on, gotta assume the best and expect to change, thats what ive been doing.

You ***kers and your damn fender vent badges. Lol

Couldn't you guys just have multiple sets of vents and paint them all different ways? Then you could swap them out regularly. Or do ya'll already do that?

I wanted a darker gray, still might do that... These ones are pretty ***ed from being painted about 6 times now... so no close ups

Then just fill the holes in, weld some sheet metal in there

It really does need a paint job if it ever came to where i could afford it, i would do a weld on metal roll pan and i would fill the fender vents in for sure.
