Default I need ideas to help this ole boy :) 2011 Ecoboost Lariat

Ok everybody,

I need some help. I love the color and have done the exhaust, Intake and Tuner as far as performance upgrades, im done. It's super fast and has plenty of get up and go now. I love this truck..... Alot.

But i need some help and some ideas to make this truck not look like an old mans truck. (not there's anything wrong with that)

I know first off i need to probably change out the wheels and tires and remove the shell. I'm not sure about the running boards yet. The rest i will leave up to you guys for advice. I will try and post pictures as my truck changes.

leveling kit, new headlights (retrofit, Recon, Anzo), maybe new grill, tow mirrors/colour matched, paint your emblems, maybe add some light bars, HID headlights or maybe just different running boards like the nerf style I believe they are called. I could go on forever!

If it were mine I would level it loose the shell get tires and rims do custom headlights with custom ptm led tail lights ptm the bumpers put a sr light bar in the gap of the bumper and some led cubes in the fog light holes. I would also tint the windows remove the running boards and ptm all the emblems. Also put a raptoid grille on it and the new style tow mirrors with ptm skull cap.

Leveling kit went on yesterday. Tires should be here early next week. I went with 2" level from tuff country.

Here is the tires and rims im doing.

-Black Rhino Sierra 20x9 wheels

-Hankook DyanaPro All terrains 275/60/r20 Equal to a 33" x 10.8" (Stock size is 275/65/r18) equal to 32.1" x 10.8"

- So i went just a little bigger but not much. Trying to keep my MPG's up.

Here is before and after pics from the leveling kit.

Heck, that changed the look of the truck completely in my eyes! Good rim choice in my opinion! Keep up the good work, I like it!

Take the camper top off, different wheels as well. Nothing really wrong with the Lariat aliminium wheels at all but they don't really stand out too well with the body color. Sticking with Ford wheels i'd bet the 18" FX4 or the 20" FX4 gun metal would look nice with the color and truck. Maybe PTM bumpers and grill also...hey man I like the FX4 look!
