I'm new to this forum, and would like to share some pics and plans of my new to me F-150. I traded in a 2003 ranger edge for this 06 lariat crew last November and have started to make it my own, here are some pics of how I got it and what it looks like now. Thanks for any comments/criticism in advanced. here are the dealer pics























and after a few changes new tires, grill, headlights,leds,etc

next came an S&B cai, and I have a set of longtubes for it still saving for the rest of the exhaust components though.

Looks great, man. I also have a black F150 lariat 4wd but an 07. Subbed to this thread. How're you liking the CAI?

so far I like the S&B great quality kit, looks and sounds nice.

Installed new rear shocks today, the fronts will have to wait for now. used some hi temp paint on the headers, trucks going to the exhaust shop tomorrow for the longtube install, true dual 2.5 inch exhaust, new mufflers and 4 inch tips out the back, I'll be so happy for no more crappy manifold leak.


its so nice having a lift





the new ranchos








long tubes drying





still have to order my sct x4 from mpt probably Saturday or so. ill update with pics after I get the truck back thanks for checking out my thread.

blessedcajun

did you go with the rancho leveling shocks or standard?

sturgill

I did go with the rancho quick lift leveling struts, just have to wait till its back from the exhaust shop to do the fronts and get aligned.

Our trucks are very similar and I've been eye'ing those Ranchos for a while now. Did you with the 2'' or 3''?

sturgill

Should be a 2.5 or there abouts, we'll see how it is after they settle, it was already leveled by the previous owner but I prefer the strut over a spacer kit. Just dropped it off at the exhaust shop going to be a long weekend can't wait to hear how its going to sound with the longtubes and no leaks.
