Default Another New Guy-

Good morning-
This weekend I just purchased an ingot silver 2018 F-150 XLT Sport FX4 with the 302A package and 3.5L. So far it is stock with the exception of weathertech floor mats and a JL 8in sub. This is my first Ford, previous trucks were a tundra and a ram 1500.
I am expecting to do the below mods hopefully this week

Fox Rousch suspension (fox coilovers in the front and struts in the back)
285/60/20 ridge grapplers
20X9 +18mm offset XD 828 Delta Black with Dark Tint
Extang solid fold 2.0 tonneau cover
Line X in the Bed

Any thoughts?

PS- I live in Austin TX

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like a cool project. May I suggest you put those Fox Coilover Struts in the Front and add Shocks to the back.

No problem. This is the current state of the truck.
Suspension done,
Wheels/tires done
JL sub done
Wheel liners done

Still need to do the tonneau cover
LineX
Leather
and Potentially an air intake

What are y'alls thoughts on cold air intakes- are they worth the investment and do they hurt the warranty?

Thanks!
