Default 2018 F150 Ruby Red Platinum 5.0 Build

I thought I would share the build of my latest adventure... my 2018 Ruby Red Platinum F150 5.0. I spent a lot of time searching for what would work to get the proper clearance... enjoy!


Suspension: Halo coilovers set to their shipped specs (2.75in in the front) with factory rear block. The truck sits perfectly level.
UCA's: SPC adjustable UCA's to get the alignment to factory specs.
Wheels:Venom REX 601 wheels
Tires: Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 295 60 R20.
Power Adder: Whipple Stage 2 kit
Protection: Complete 2 stage clearcoat cut thenGyeon Pure Ceramic Coating applied, Xpel (Bumper, Grill, Headlights, Hood, Fenders, A-pillars, Roof, Mirrors)


I did not have to cut the crash bars but I did have to remove the front mud flaps

This was taken after the protection stage




Suspension and wheels installed







And the Whipple kit...

Thanks! I still want the big brake kit front and rear but I have found out no one has a rear kit yet as the parking brake is now electric in some of the 2018 models.
