Hey guys! From Houston, TX. Just got into a 2019 XLT Screw. Magma Red. Came from the Mustang world! Slowly but surely making my way through the forums finding new things that I can do to my new truck.

Ha! I’m from Pasadena as well! As for mods, plenty. Started off with a cluster upgrade, already picked out my wheels and tires, going in for a level on Saturday. Tint was done the same day I picked it up. Bed cover, trying to decide what to do with the headlights upfront.

Haha. What're the odds! Sounds like a good list of mods. You doing a coilover level or a spacer level?

Most than likely just a spacer level. I was looking at the rough country kit that replaces the rear shocks as well.

Any recommendations for a shop in the area?

I went with the Rancho Quicklifts for mine, with BOSS (formerly Halo Lifts) rear shocks.

Nope, sorry. I do all my own work in driveways, and I've only been in Pasadena since October. I've had my eye on Pasadena Speed Shop if/when I get around to performance, but that's all. I wanted to lift it, but I use the bed a lot and that would be inconvenient so I haven't looked into off-road shops in the area.

Ahh cool man. Yeah, mine will most than likely 99% of the time be a pavement princess, so I won’t be using it to its full utility potential other than just a small haul every blue moon or so.

Ill have ave to look into some shops around town. I had a mustang before the truck so i know couple of places, I’ll check in with them see if they can recommend a truck related shop instead.

Mine mostly is too. When I lived in Corpus it saw the beach a lot, but now its mostly commuting. I do use it pretty often for construction supplies for my remodel I'm doing.

That's probably a good idea. Pasadena Speed Shop may be able to recommend someone, or may be able to do it themselves. I figure if they can build 1,000+hp trucks, they have to be pretty good.
