yeah, I was hesitant at first but it's growing on me, kinda want to get rid of the side f150 badges though.

You likely already know it can be done, although $$$$. I looked at doing that on a previous truck, if I were a body guy, I'd do it, I had trouble getting anyone interested though. I think it would look great "shaved", I was one of those guys last century that did those kinds of things.

last century lol same here, I can do body work but I think if I took the side badges off, I would just put a light in its place since I don't have the mirrors with all the extras.

Hey guys,i have a 2016 F 150 XLT i’m now hauling a 6100LB camper,i have absolutely no problem hauling it but when bringing it home the bottom of the hitch hits the driveway because of the sharp curve down of the driveway. I don’t want to spend $500 on an airlift system, can i add a block to raise the truck about 2 1/2 to 3” ? Is that possible?

I have a leveling kit installed but I’ve had it for a little while now and this noise is new. I had the kit checked and everything is tight and installed correctly and isn’t making contact with anything. It’s a 2” level.



there’s a video with the sound in it, hear it best around 6 second mark. Please help!

I posted here cause no one else is responding to it anywhere else and I’ve had the kit checked but who knows maybe the level kit is causing something to go out

That clanking noise? Swaybar end links, maybe. Happens going over bumps? What year and how many miles?

i don’t really hear it on just bumps, I’m hearing it on light acceleration. Once I’m above 20 I never hear it, and I’m starting to hear it when I’m coming to a stop

I'm pretty much thinking it's suspension related. What kind of level, brand did you do? Spacers, coilovers, bilsteins?
