F150 Stuff

Put a 2 inch leveling kit and 35x12x5x18 on my truck a few weeks ago...





Second photo doesn't look level b/c the alignment wasn't done yet.

I like it. I'd like to get that model F150 if it wasn't for the issues in the 5.4

they really arent as problematic as everyone makes them out to be...a lot of the issues is just stuff preventative maintenance can prevent

I don't doubt they are great 5.4s driving around. I'm sure it isn't as bad, just like the timing chain issue that my truck is notorious for and has never had.

I'm always cautious about used vehicles, it can be hit or miss

my ranger had the timing chain issue, i knew going into that i might get the Diesel sound, but like everything it's always a good idea to have money saved up in case these issues arise.

After 9 years I couldn't part with my truck. I'll go fullsize eventually, but it'll have to share garage space with the Ranger

I have had mine for 8 years. As much as I would hate too, I will have to use the money from a private sale or trade-in to afford a new truck.

I dunno if I'd have to do that, if kept insurance goes to fire/theft. I'd love to make it a toy but who knows what the future holds.

You'll be amazed at how fast you forget about a ranger.

All obvious points, you guys missed what I meant. This was my first truck that has taken me everywhere I need to go and hasn't let me down. I'm a little attached to it.

But I know what you guys mean. I have driven full size trucks, I'll own one, in time.

Truck looks awesome OP. I also like the color.

Honestly, I have yet to need a fullsize for anything. I never have passengers.
I akso never really tow anything huge.
