Just finished up with the grille, headlights, bumpers and trimming the air dam. I'm very happy with the results. Oh yeah the 4X4 sticker is in the trash.

Very well done… But it looks even better in person.

OC Mike, Why wasn't yer beautiful truck up for voting in THE TRUCK OF THE MONTH for April? When I saw you were nominated I figured you would win hands down. Mine was nominated. Although I'm prejudiced towards our RC's, I know I don't have much of a chance against the Majority of F-150 owners with Stretched 4-Doors, especially with a White Truck!!!
Did you ask not to be considered in the voting or did they miss yer nomination?...They still show my truck in the VOTING POLL as "Spoat" instead of "Husker"...LOL!

Thanks,
Yeah...I noticed he didn't change the name to yours after I pointed it out.
I think maybe Linn just missed it or because I said it wasn't really ready on the cut off date he didn't include it.
It was posted in the nomination thread with the chrome grille & bumpers.
Not sure about winning hands down...There a lot of nice trucks in the thread without mine. It's not a big deal either way.
A little narrower than a 285 and around 33.5" tall. No clearance issues with stock suspension and no tread sticking out past the fenders on the stock rims = no rock chips. I was thinking about removing the rear blocks instead of raising the front but I guess it's not a good idea.
I removed my blocks before I put the coilovers on to get rid of (some) of the factory rake. It rode great on the street. With stock shocks at all four corners I didn't notice the rear bumpstops and overloads as much in the dirt, but after the front shock install I am definitely hitting them and I can feel the back end kick more. Maybe I was driving harder, maybe the rake in the opposite direction was transferring weight differently, maybe all of the above or neither lol. My foxes for the rear finally showed up, I'd assume they're valved much heavier than stock on the compression side so I'm guessing it will help... but I think ultimately I'm going to install a mini leaf pack in the rear (Atlas or Deaver), ditch the overload, make the rear a bit more progressive, and level the rear end back out.
I didn't realize there was another option around that size on the 17" KO2. Most of the guys I know are running 315/70R17s on their 2015+ F150s and they rub at full lock on stock wheels, I wanted to go slightly narrower so I guess I'll have to find a shop that has a 34 and the 285/75 in stock before I make my final decision. Your truck looks good on the 34s.
**edit** - note that the rear blocks are tapered (or at least they were tapered on my truck). Removing them changed my pinion angle 1.5º... I haven't noticed any vibration as a result of removing them though. Remove at your own risk lol.
