Love your Truck! I have a 2011 Oxford White Lariat as well. I've made a bunch of mods and will get a build thread going one of these days. Question: how do you like the power steps? Did you install them yourself? A local shop in Vancouver Canada quoted me $1200 installed so I'm seriously considering it.

Keep up the posts!

The steps are awesome. Worth every dollar. I didn't install them myself, I had them install by a local shop. They charged me an arm and a leg to install, but did my backup camera at the same time. For $1,200, DO IT!

My dad took some real pictures over thanksgiving in his driveway. Unfortunately, its long and narrow so only got a shot from the front. Hopefully I'll get some more real pics soon.

Some Updates!

So I've actually had these on for a bit but I haven't posted them yet. So I have installed the Core Bed Rail Tie Down System, along the edges of the bed, directly underneath them are Recon LED Lights which are hard wired into my running lights.

I've also installed the F150 LED Kick Plates, which took a while to come since they sent me the wrong ones first and once I finally got the right ones in and installed, the drivers door plate stopped working after one day. Still waiting for a free replacement of that.

I also put on my Rigid SR-Q Diffused Backup lights, which are mounted to the rear leaf spring mounts, pointed downwards. They are extremely bright but they they do not give an insane amount of light since they are pointed downward, but I live in NYC so that isn't really needed. What I did need was some additional light so I could see this stupid wall in my driveway, and that it does just perfectly.

I've also had front windows tinted which just last night started to peel, after only a month or so. I'll go have those fixed for free this week. I took these pics in the snow, mostly because they looked extra cool and extra bright that night which is what triggered me to update this page, so keep that in mind!

I've also taken a couple of decent pics with a real camera, I'm going to call these the BEFORE pictures, because I have also scheduled to have a BDS 6" Lift and 35's installed at the end of January. So the After pictures will come sometime in the next month!

BEFORE!! 6" Lift
Currently: 2" Pro Comp Level Kit & 33" (285/55/20) Trail Grapplers









I will be having my 6" BDS Lift and 35's done by RMS Offroad in Bohemia NY.

Thanks! I am absolutely dying to get the lift on. I have been doing so much research, and I almost went with the Rancho 4", but the BDS kit has a much better reputation in terms of quality and warranty. The extra 2" is awesome too, even though a lot of people say you get 5" out of the Rancho 4" kit.

Anyone that tells you size doesn't matter is LYING!

Also, I can officially say I am in the group of people that said, "Oh, I'll be fine with a 2" level, I won't want to upgrade in 3 months!" lol.. That didn't last long.

Which, while we're on the topic, those Nitto Trail Grapplers, 285/55/20 with just a few hundred miles on them are for SALE! Once my lift is on at the end of January.

If anyone is interested, just PM Me. I am open to a fair price and live in NYC.

I hear ya on that. I got my Leveling kit tires and rims put on June of last year(2013). When I first got the Level on it. It looked nice. It still does. Now that I've seen the different size lifts for example the 6in. I want the 6in Lift so bad. Money is a little tight right now so I've been doing mostly "cheaper" mods on my truck. I hear ya on the 4in Lift. I really want to keep the 17s on my truck but since Lifts after a Level need to run 18s or bigger, I wil eventually get 18s and 35s. Those will probably be later on. I think when I do get the 6in Lift with 18s and 35s. I will either go with McGaughey's or BDS. More likely BDS because of the no BS warranty.

It almost looks like a pearl coat in this pic. That would be cool too!

Yeah, I didn't even last that long. I only got the 33's and 2" level about 2 months ago. I bought the truck in late September. This has become one expensive hobby.

I really hope I don't think the 6" lift is too big when I see it on in person. I am yet to see an f150 w/ 6" and 35's in person, or atleast know its a 6" and 35's. Not too many lifted trucks around NYC.
