I have seen several trucks that were TOTALED by teenagers that thought this was cool. They found out the hard way what chaining down the rear suspension will get ya!
CAI: Cold Air Intake

Agreed. I'd say the squat is ugly, and ruins the truck, BUUUUT.... That's being too nice about it. Way too nice.

Funny you are the first one who said something negative. I have gotten a LOT of compliments on my headlights, many from other F150 owners. I can tell you the light output between those big ugly chrome reflectors and these is remarkable. They light up the road very nicely without glaring oncoming traffic, so much so I rarely ever need to use the high beams. The LED's alone can light up the road, the side markers light up both sides of the road too. I did them more for their performance than looks after hitting a deer and busting out the OEM lights.

Imma agree with Summers. Biggest reason is that both of us have/had retrofits. Really puts them to shame.

Just wait until my next build. Imma blow it out of the water!

All I know is I mod to my taste and really don't care what anyone else likes. Kinda like it when people get all bent out of shape worrying about it. Why would someone need to try and figure it out, wonder why?

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the big bushwacker flares with a stock suspension, tires and wheels looks a bit odd.
