Default F150 7700.. needs some mods!

Hey guys, my recently acquired 2001 F150 7700 needs some mods. Throw me some ideas! It's a work truck, so I can write it all off

I want some tires that are a bit bigger and meaner looking. I'll probably need those before it snows. Not sure what to do about the wheels yet.
Windshield is cracked.
Also thinking of raising it up a few inches.
One of the front hooks is bent, I'll need to do something about that.
Also need a box liner.

Throw me some ideas, have fun - inspire me! haha

4 inch lift, paint the valence white. new wheels and tires... 35s for sure. billet grill and clear corners.

that should dress it up nice... for now.

Already had a few tire shop dudes give me weird looks when I asked about 7 lug wheels haha..

so a 4inch suspension lift and 35s? whats a good kit?
also, i've ****ed around with my bronco II for a while but i must be honest and say i don't think I have the mechanical skills to install a lift. whats an average for a shop to charge?

That's a nice truck. I'd love to have a 7700 series.

4inch lift with 35s would be sweet. It might run you 2k installed if I'm not mistaken.

I believe the 7700 series has the 3.73 rearend? If you want to keep power re-gear to 4.56s and you should be good to go.

Throw on a CAI and Exhaust.
