I am mainly doing small mods now till I get new tires in spring. I then plan on adding retrofit headlights, window tint, get the seats reupholstered, a 30 inch led light bar and a couple 2 inch led light squares, a touch screen radio to clean up the interior, and 4.88 gears, not in any order. Eventually I want to get some new rims, sadly they have to be costumed drilled, either 18 or 20 inch and with some 37s.

Off hand I dont know what brand, I will find out for you. The PO had them costumed drilled. They are 16x8.5. Honestly I don't know when im planning on getting new rims, it is just a future plan. So it might not be for awhile. I will let you know though.

Edit* The wheels are called Sport Metal Wheels. I did some research and it showed they are discontinued.

And there is where she has sat for the past 2 weeks. Looks like my tire money will be turning into transmission money. I have also been thinking about selling my truck and buying a 04-08 f150, I don't need a lifted vehicle while still in college, especially when it needs 37's to fill the wheel gap. I love the newer body styles. But I haven't decided yet..

Sorry to hear that man. The 250 with the 350 body were an interesting truck to say the least.

I'm not going to separate the truck and lift, my plan is to sell out right and use that as a down payment. Im still not sure if I really want to do that. I love my truck but its getting close to 250,000 miles on it, I just want something with less miles and gets better than 11 mpg. But being a part time student going to college, it makes me nervous about making payments.

I was quoted today 2100 for a transmission rebuild. Not to bad seeing I was expecting 3000, still hurts none the less.

Got her back today, they did a complete rebuild with a new torque converter. She shifts great now.
