Nice, which Sunrise did you buy from if you don'tind me asking? Fontana? I almost bought from there since it's so close to me.

If you're still looking for the liners I'd try Tasca Parts. They served me well.

Thanks Kenn! I'll check them out.

Thanks! I went back n forth with 18s or 20s and since this truck won't be seeing any offroading, I went with 20s for pure looks. I just think 18s look tiny on these trucks. At least my stock 18s did. They looked horrible. In my humble opinion I think 20s are perfect.

Thought about it when I did my bed, but don't know if I want to spend that kind of money for an undercarriage.

Got it from their North Hollywood store, but the truck was actually at their Fontana store, so they drove it over.

Just a question, the lid on the center console is fabric covered or vinyl? I ordered a sport and looked at one and cant remember...

It's vinyl and it's awful. It scratches so easily. My wife puts her purse on the console for a minute and there's already scratch marks...

As a pick-up truck, not sure how Ford didn't pick up on the fact that the console would scratch so easily, especially when used for utility.

I have been looking around at all the different leveling kits, why do they range from 1.5in to 2.5in. Which is the correct size for a true level?

Autospring is 1.5
ReadyLift is 2.25
RoughCounty is 2.5

My specs are above in my original post and you will see what a 1.5" AutoSpring level got me (prior I was 35.75" front and 38" rear). Remember, the front fender sits lower than the rear so if you go for a true level, the front will sit higher than the rear, showing a reverse rake (which in my opinion is awful). So make sure you account for that. That is why Kevin at AutoSpring told me to go with the 1.5" and not the 2".

Did you put a block in the rear as well or just the 1.5" spacer up front? And do you rub at all with 33s?

Nice to see an XLT build, that's a real truck.

XL = work truck
XLT = practical, nice, every man truck
Lariat = an XLT would work,but what the hell, I'm stepping up.
KR = we are retired, my wife wants me to get a Lariat, but screw her, this may be the last new truck I buy so I'm getting a KR, baby!
Platinum = Ford just screwed me out of thousands of dollars for over priced options and I didn't even notice.

I'm a good 40 years from retiring and I drive a KR..!! I've always like them!
