wish list

F150LEDs fog lights
F150LEDs 42" and possibly 32" LED bars
( Im a product tester for f150 LEDS so a lot of my leds are free)

Things to consider ( which ill take suggestions and pics if you have them)

Man that was a PITA got it dont and didnt break anything but even with a ton of rust penetrate it was freaking hard getting that ball joint nut off! Not to mention using a hack saw to cut down the studs for the spacer but im happy! Gave me 1.5 in of lift started at 36in now is 37.5 in next will be the 1.5 in block and eventurally 33in tires so when all said and done ill get 3in of lift give or take from factory

1.5 in block is in final measurements are front 37.5in and rear 39.5 in so my 2wd is now sitting like a 4wd and I'm happy with that

LED fog lights and 42in Light bar are on the way from f150leds! should be in next week after that 33in tires and weather guard are next on the list.

You're off to a good start it seems like! Makes me want to do the full F-150 LED's setup on my 2012 RCSB. Mine is an XL but as soon as its out of the shop, hopefully at the end of next week, it'll look like a reg cab FX4/STX. Haven't decided if I'm painting the mirror caps or not. For sure doing front and rear bumpers, door/tailgate handle and the plastic piece above the front bumper. I give you 2 thumbs up on yours so far! I love the look of the RCSB Ford's!

Got myself a 42" LED bar from F150 LEDS
great bar
i'm making myself a 3 switch panel in that cubby hole on the drivers side and plan on getting some rigid dually to go between the license plate and bumper and some revers dually but that'll be next paycheck
gonna hold off on tires for a while mine are still good and it doesn't look bad id rather get all my lights bought and in first

hers a pic
