Perfect! This is exactly how I want mine to sit.
Would you post more pics?
Also, can you comment on the ride quality, regarding the after market suspension lift versus the factory ride quality. Also, have you noticed a big hit to vehicle performance, regarding acceleration and body roll during turns, with the new suspension and larger/heavier tires.

Another question.. sorry.. why did you choose BDS over Rancho or other brand?


Thanks! Truck looks great!

Thanks! The ride quality is great, while driving it, you would never know it was lifted. You do get a little body roll, but that's to be expected with a lifted truck. Also I haven't noticed to much of a power loss with the lift and bigger tires, it definitely has more pull then my 09 5.4L had so I can't complain. Finally I chose BDS over all the other lift brands, due to the great reviews they had. Even if I paid a little more then say I would have with another brand, I can't complain about the great ride quality and no BS lifetime warranty BDS stands behind! ��
Good luck in your build! Here's a couple quick pic's I snapped today, don't mind the dust.��

Wow!! Great truck...Is there any rubbing with the bigger tires?? I know it also takes a couple of days for the truck to settle in on the new lift.

Thanks! There was a little rubbing with the tires when I first had them installed. So I had the crash bars removed, and trimmed a little bit up front in the wheelwells and now everything fit nice. No rubbing at all.

Your truck looks awesome! Perfect setup. Can you tell me where you got the mud flaps? They look good but I googled kickback mud flaps and didn't get any results for the F150

Thanks! Sorry their actually called an offset mudflap. Gatorback makes them. They ran me about $300 a pair mudflaps and brackets. Here's a pic...


Note you can put different styled Gatorback mudflaps with these brackets, and you can run either 12" or 14" flaps depending on which bracket you go with and how wide your wheel offset is.

Just wondering if you could send me some pictures of the clearance with the tire and mudflap with the wheel turned and maybe just some general pics of your flaps. Also do you have the 12" or 14" wide flap? Thanks and I would appreciate it very much. Trying to figure out flaps for my truck. Lol.
