I have a 2002 5.4 litre 4x4. I got the right tires and a split rear exhaust.
I wanna know how i can get the best performance, but i want it to be more stable when i'm really moving. Anyone have some advice?

Also, i painted my wheels black. the truck is white. I want to make all the chrome black too, bumpers, grill. Can anyone tell me the best way to do that? Thanks

 

Plasti-dip would be relatively inexpensive and reversible if it didnt turn out well. Just search it on the forum.

 

Differently plastidip works great

 

Thanks any comments on stock suspension? Making the truck handle better. I know its not a car.

 

How much money do you have? I have had my truck lowered, it needs a lot more work still, I have about $4500 tied up in lowering so far and I still need some more work, like strut bars, perhaps a complete rear end redo. I am after car like handling and I'm not there yet. Still have a little bit of roll and twist to it, and it still jounces on stutter bumps. I eliminated about 50% of the jounces, but far from perfect. So far I have installed a bell tech 3/5 drop kit, balanced drive line, so many different shock setups that I can't remember what's in there, custom shock brackets to improve the function of the absorber. All this work has been done by a mechanics shop that works on muscle cars for drag racing and other track cars like porches and M3s. I really want to track my truck and next summer and it should be good. I have 5 solid days in labor on the rear end alone.

So my advice, is find a good shop that understands suspension set ups first, then drop off a bag of cash and have a second vehicle to drive. It needs a lot of testing and talent to do it right.
