New to the F150 Forum

Thought i would start a build thread, Hoping to get some advice along the way.







Here is the new project truck, bought it for 4k about 5 months ago. It's on its second motor and newly rebuilt trans. (thats why i got it for 4k )




Bought some rims and tires for it and put a 2.5" spacer in the front.



Didn't really like the black rims and got a good deal on 5 walker evan rims.









Then the fun started, dropped it off at a friends shop to start on the Front and Rear Long travel.





Ordered up some King Coilovers, bypasses and bump stops for the front and some King 3.0 triple bypasses and bump stops for the rear.
