Default 2012 F150 5.0 FX4 slowly adding on parts

I don't have a lot of pictures of my truck, but I have added a lot of goodies over the time I have owned the truck. I will try to take some pictures tomorrow. Next week I will be adding on Fox 2.0 Shocks for the front and rear. After that she needs a bath and it will look nice. I have a video from today with the new magnaflow muffler, stainless works headers and high flow cats. More pictures will come soon. Be warned that this is an on going project and will most likely take a while until the next updates will be made. I forgot to thank RDP Store for working with me to get a good price on the headers. They are very nice and great to work with, big thanks to you guys.

In these pictures you can see the cut I made on the cold air intake to get it to work with the boss intake and throttle body. The side marker lights are from Recon.

Thanks and not a problem, I ordered the open backing for my gopro and should be able to upload another video this week. Hopefully the audio will be better than last time.

Finally got around to adding the Fox 2.0 kit. It looks a lot better with the front sitting level with the back.

You happy with the coil overs? I'm looking to get a coil over set up with resiovors, along with the rears as well... To adjust the softness/hardness. But I am just starting to research them up. How do these ride?

Harder than stock, but they feel good. It drives more like a truck and less like a Cadillac. Small bumps are no longer noticeable, and potholes still shake the steering wheel. Over all less body roll and you feel more in control when driving.
