Default '16 2.7

Bought a 2016 F150 2.7 4x4 June 27th



Never owned a truck before, but I've had half dozen LS1 f bodies, 2004 GTO and 2 new edge Cobras plus a number of other cars, some interesting, some not.

Picture is just a quick one I took after taking the stickers off the box. 5100s will be here tomorrow, but can't get the fronts installed until the 29th and aligned. I'll do the rears myself but the fronts I'll pay someone to do. Put plugs in yesterday - I think they were the originals (truck has 97k). Bought a 48/48k warranty with it through Ford.

Couple questions about some coming mods

1.5 Bora spacers seems to be the way to go (I've put spacers on previous cars for diff reasons) before the alignment. Says 2-3 weeks from Stage3, but how long has it actually taken?

5100s on the 3rd or 4th notch? Really only 2 wheel/tire combos I'm going with. I do NOT do aftermarket wheels - looks wise I HATE them all.
265/70/18 on either current wheels or older FX4 wheels
275/60/20 on 20" older FX4 wheels - concave ones. Both would be Continental Terrain Contact A/T - no heavy *** tires and wheels for me. I run snows in the winter.

Going to change the diffs and transfer case fluids soon. Any brand recomendations??
