Dude, I love your build.

I am in Qatar and I need a lift.... how and where did you get the 6" Fabtech Lift?

I have 20x12's and Nittos coming shipped from USA and paying a premium for shipping. I checked shipping cost on a 6" lift and have found $1500 shipping to be the best cost.

[MENTION=29747]StonedGreen[/MENTION] Some call it Earth Metallic and others Stone Green, but either ways its one of the reasons that is letting me keeping my truck. The 5.4L is not a bad engine, in my 186Kms i never had any major issue except for the infamous ticking at 140~150Kms. Its really reliable, but in terms of performance the 5.0 3.5TT and the 6.2 excels it. I actually had in mind, a few days ago, the idea of swapping the engine to a 6.2L, but its rare over hear and even if you find one it'll cost a lot of $$. You have a very nice truck, its stance is perfect, it is a keeper. [MENTION=193312]advsign[/MENTION] I sent you a PM, good luck with your purchase

The truck went in this morning for gears swap, 4.56s with a Truetrac.
Can't wait till i try it with the new setup, also still waiting for my custom tunes from MPT. Seems SCT still did not add support to my strategy. Hoping i will get them soon.

I went for a visit this evening.. Work is in progress



The TT

As for the problem that i had, the diff drop bracket that came with the lift kit gave up

The bracket breaking led for the diff to be angled and without knowing i engaged the 4x4 so the driveshaft lost the connection with the diff..
I need a new driveshaft..

Yeah that doesn't look pretty. Lol. At least you're getting it set up the way you want now. Looking forward to hearing how it drives afterwards

Carabidae

Actually its ugly
Yeah it was the reason that let me advance the installation, or i was planning on trying the truck with just the tune.
On another note, I was looking at that set up, and still debating on installing it or not. The kit shown in the pic is for the Raptor.


The UCA and rear shocks are available, but the coilovers have to be custom made to go directly with the lift kit, without adding the shackles.

I got back the truck today. the first impression is.. The feeling is different, i feel power, but i still cant unleash it.. they recommended that i use it lightly, no high revs and no more than 50mph for a week and come back for an oil change.
Got the Diff Cover from Mag-Hytec

And the front Diff fixed

Now my problem is that i couldnt find the front drive shaft anywhere in the local market. Even the dealer said its on order. I have two options, either get a heavy duty DS from the offroad shop, or go to KSA and get the OEM DS from one of the dealers there.

No more than 50? I hope you won't be driving 7th ring or that's gonna go out the window. Lol. I don't think we drove below 70 when I was there, and we were still getting passed.

If I were you I'd try for a heavy duty ds instead of a stock one. It's gonna be more weight, but it'll also be stronger. Good luck.
