Looks like you went for a nice drive. Where are those pictures taken at?


Mind I ask you what kind of tonneau cover is that?

Yes, the tonneau is an Extang Encore, with all stickers removed.

I've been a little busy, but will try to get this posted this week.

Oh hey, you must not be far from me. My fiance' and I are in the Greenville, SC area. Just picked up her new Loaded Lariat F150 and really like it a lot.

I've actually got it today and have been running around. Nice ride that's for sure and I drive a '12 F350 normally.

Going to do lots of hopups to the F150 (just like the 350 got) so I'm staying tuned to threads like this. You've got a nice looking truck that's for sure.

Here's a pic of my F350


Gotta snap a few of her Ruby Red F150...

Looks great! Debating picking up a White Platty FX4 for the woman and giving it a little 4.5" lift

Out of all the ones that people post on here, that's a sharp looking truck.

Thank you.

Here's what was removed from the truck.

I've been waiting to comment on the Rancho rear 9000 series adjustable shocks that came with my lift kit. I've been adjusting/testing since installed, and I really like the ride at current my setting. It will be nice to have front adjustable struts for a better/smoother/controlled ride, but I must say, the front OEM struts ride is quite nice, for mixing stock parts with the lift. I thought the struts would be stressed out somewhat with big wheels, but since I choose a light'ish wheel combo, the ride is very close to stock smoothness.

Rear shock settings:
I tried them set at 5 clicks, which equaled a stock'ish rebound.
I tried them set at 3 clicks, which equaled to a slightly bouncy rear.
I tried them set at 7 clicks, which equaled to the perfect rebound for my likings and daily driving on interstates and country back roads.

So, to sum it up...Truck is great, lift is great, life is great

I'm slacking on the sub addition, and possibly will go with a Boss intake with 5* dyno tune before adding subs....only time will tell lol


However, it is time for the first oil change. Since I plan on keeping the truck for a long time, I decided to save on shipping, and ordered enough filters for 3 years
