This forum has really hurt my wallet. It's hurt my ego and taught me to research my research.

Ford could have made the truck better, my seat backs do not cool and my cam was out of phase so the truck was in the shop for three weeks. That's not the point of this post though.

This is the point:

I'm glad I joined and owe many thanks to the cool "mods", hints and tricks, and all the helpful info from members. I think it's cool that there are so many owners willing to be the guinea pig for the rest of us and let us know how it turned out.

Example: I would have never found Goeske Spacers without this forum.

I still think fake motor noise should have an off button for those of you with the EB, but even when I was dealing with that I had more than one forum member reach out and offer help. That's cool.

So I'm posting my before and afters of my truck. Feel free to bash or compliment. I don't care. To each his own.

I know we get new members all the time and many of these pics are out there already but I just wanted to put all of mine in one spot for anybody needing a visual reference. Some of the pics are better than others. I'm happy to provide more info or detail if anybody should need it.

If anybody else wants to add there "before and afters" I think it might help new owners looking to "upgrade"

Here's my list, even though some of these are hardly mods.

after seeing your truck with the 2.5in level first, why add the 3in blocks, do you tow often? How is the ride, and did you get the dealership to do your bedliner and wheel wells or did you take it to a different shop? Do you mind posting a pic of the weathertechs on the driverside, is fitment good?

Heres a quick pic from my dark garage. The driver side fit is good. The passenger is not. The are around the right kick panel doesn't follow the panel. The rear was awful and I requested a warranty replacement from weathertech. The replacement was tons better.

As for the rear block question, the 2.5 rc level made it basically dead straight with a tape measure. However, it "looked" nose high.

I know it was a little nose high just hauling the take off tires home.

Its really just cosmetic. I like the rake. I dont tow a lot, but, it was so dead level that I bet it would look nose high under WOT with a box of nails in the bed.

The ride is stiffer, but that's probably almost all the 10 ply tires. The rebound is quicker with the rear shocks so a good bump is down and back up. No floating out of the bumps if that makes sense.

I had a shop do the liners. Most dealers in my town farm it out to a shop and mark it up as a dealer installed option.
