Thanks I have a few power mods, Sr30 light bar and 4" lift with raptor front shocks that I would like to do but no plans yet. I just readjusted the projectors so it took away the dark spot in the center so I don't need to get the light bar just yet, I am getting a few more people flash me thinking my highs are on but oh well they shouldn't have bought a car if they didn't want to get blinded lol.

I've been looking more into lifts and shocks to run and I think I got it figured out. The plan is closer to the end of the year get a 4" BDS lift and custom length King coil overs since fox doesn't give you too many option with the coil over height and still use the Raptor rear shock with just the stock block and add a leaf. The 6" lifts just seem too tall but the 4" gives me the room to use 35s and not feel like it's a skyscraper. I saw a GMC with the 6.5 lift and it just was too big. The coil overs that I found would be pretty close to the set up now.

You should be able to crank down those BDS Fox Coilovers down to 4" of lift. I just put them on my truck and they have plenty of room to adjust down. They may even ride better cranked down an inch or two. But I guess if you can get a set of kings for a similar prices that works too.

I have them cranked down a little right now but the more i give them to go up I loose the wheel travel so the 4" lift with kinds should be the best of both worlds with the ride and height to clear 35s.

I took the Fox shox off to get serviced and noticed a difference right away without them. I put a set of pro comp shocks up front and set them to the 2" setting.


I put the oem shocks side by side to the Raptors and was surprised to see that they are the same length since I would have thought the raptors would have been a little longer.

Last month I hit a curb in the snow and had Ford check it out. They said it just needed an alignment but I guess they were wrong cause one tire has a 5-6" crack and the other has a few smaller cracks. I just ordered 4 new MT ATZ P3s in the same 305/55R20 size since I couldn't do the lift yet so now the lift idea is out of the plans and I need to get these replaced ASAP.

Well according to discount tire cracks in your side walls that are OK to have...
My brother took his car there cause all 4 of his tires were cracking like that when they were like a year old and under warrenty. They told him not to worry that's normal lol.. Damn bastards just didn't want to replace the tires.

lol people don't care about the customers anymore. My mother in law has dry rot on her tires and Toyota said they're fire.

With the truck needing new tires and wheels I decided to change it up a little and go with 18x9 Method machined NVs and 35x12.5 toyo ats. I'm hoping with the higher offset and with Raptor Kustomz adding more preload I won't have too much rubbing issues. The silver wheels should be a good change cause it was a little too much black for me, I'm not a big fan of the white and black storm trooper look.

Those are nice

Thanks and I can't wait to get them on. Hopefully I don't have to do any trimming with the 35 but if they do rub it shouldn't be more than a few months cause I plan on doing a lift later.
