Default Another Ford for me

Hey all. I'm back to another Ford. I started many years back with a Ranger. Decent little truck, but nothing to write home about...it was a Ranger. I traded up after about a year for an F-150 - a 2005, I think. Had that one until 2009 when I traded it for my dream truck. A brand new Nissan Titan. Ran with that guy upgrading left and right. I absolutely loved that truck. I was very sad to see it go, but I felt I didn't need such a large, thirsty truck anymore (5.7L!). Having such wonderful times with Nissan, I traded it for a brand new Frontier last year... I hate to say that I hated that truck so much. It was gutless, severely lacked options, and just plain too small. My disdain for this truck only amplified after my wife got a brand new 2016 Focus. That thing was pretty loaded! Not all the options... Just enough to make me feel even worse about my lackluster transport. It was settled... I'm trading this thing in.

I landed on my new (to me) 2015 F-150 XLT. I love being in a large truck again. And talk about options?!? This is not my last F-150. This thing has (almost) everything I wanted. The only things I needed to do to it is level, tint, and tailgate assist that MF'r.

I've already found a plethora of information on this site already so thanks for that. Hopefully I can contribute something as well.





TL;DNR Ford, Ford, Nissan, Nissan, Ford, Yay!

2" RC or AS spacers. I'm a good 3" taller in the back. Not too worried about being nose high if it lifts higher than 2" as the previous owner installed airbags.

Then I think of going Bilsteins as I had those in my Titan and loved them, but then go back to spacers for the price, then say eff it and not do anything. Then think "maybe coilovers are the way to go". Then I'm back at spacers...
