Default My new F150 with 4" front, 2" rear lift & more

Traded in my 2013 Raptor with 27k miles. I was able to trade it in for $3000 less than I paid new. I figured now was the time, since it would depreciate much faster when the new Raptors hit the lots.

I ended up with a 2016 F150 Lariat Sport 5.0L. I wanted as many bells and whistles (502A) as possible but didn't want chrome trim. I much prefer black trim. I added a BDS lift (4" in front, 2" in back), smooth pocket body-color Bushwacker fender flares, Amp power running boards, Fuel Beast 18" wheels, 325/65R18 BF Goodrich KO2, Weathertech mats, Gatorback mudflaps, Husky rear wheel well liners, Undercover Swingcase, and BAK Revolver X2 Roll-Up Tonneau Cover.

I will say that the 2016 interior is a pretty big upgrade from 2013. I'm also looking forward to being able to utilize the 6.5' bed, rather than being stuck with 5.5'.

I did test drive a optioned out Silverado and it felt like a dog compared to the Ford. The F150 is also MUCH more comfortable to me.

Now thats a good looking 157" wheelbase.

I hate the way the long truck looks at a stock ride height.

I don't usually like the longer wheelbase, but that looks great with all the mods!

I like those mud flaps. Are they custom fit? Did you buy from Gatorback direct?
Thanks,

Thanks everyone. My trucks don't really leave the pavement that often. I did not do the coil-overs but I did upgrade to the Fox 2.0 shocks. I choose to only do a 2" block in the rear and I'm very happy with that choice. I love the stance.
As for the Gatorbacks, I ordered them through a local shop. I had also ordered the custom brackets but they didn't end up needing them.
I really like the wheels a lot. I was nervous when ordering because I had never actually seen them in person.

Just a quick update. I've had zero issues. Ride and road noise barely even changed. I'm extremely pleased with my setup.
