do you have your heads rebuilt or pull them and put them straight on your truck?
You pretty much just pull your fan, install the e-fans, and wire em up to a power source and a thermostat. Overall a pretty simple job. I would definitely read up on em first and not follow my advice though, as i suck with wiring. Lol. And yes i would definitely check over and rebuild the heads with bigger cams before i install them. As for clearance, lets just say that the rear rides bump stops, and the front still rubs over just about any bump even with the inner fenders out.

Will the fans and their shrouds fit into the 5.4 double core radiator? And why is your truck bottoming out the suspension like that? Lol

Wrapped the rims in new rubber. I opted to go with the 285/70 17 Cooper S/TS instead of the 33x12.5 17. I think it looks just right, at least until I put a lift in it one day maybe.

Nothing personal but Hondas are to be low to go, F150 to be high and mighty.

Well you know what they say about opinions.. lol. But its nothing i havent heard before. And i like lifted trucks, but i absolutely love the thought of being able to hang with mustangs and vettes at the strip, corner like a porsche, and still have a bed to haul whatever you want
