New F150 Owner
Hey everyone!
I'm new to the truck world, after owning 2 Mustangs (the loves of my life)
Im 18 now, my first Mustang was a red v6, which I sold. I worked two jobs and purchased a track ready 2003 Mustang GT that was a black Centennial Edition (1 of around 2000). This car spun tire through 4th and could chirp 5th (the car was a monster). I was driving and it had some bald tires on and it began to rain and it hydroplaned into a guard rail and was considered totaled. I took off all the performance parts, sold the car to insurance for 11k, and purchased my 2002 F150 Lariat 4.6 Stepside.
So far, here are my plans:
-Lift
-MKW M83 20" Wheels
-305/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers
-Hanneman Pre-runner fenders (to match the step side styling)
-Either custom bumper or open bull bar (no skid plate)
-LED light bar
-Ford Lightning style headlights
-55W 5000k HID
-Audio consisting of touch screen, components in front, coax in rear, and 2 Alpine Type-R 10" subs running off of 1200W Fosgate amp, and an US Acoustics amp for speakers
The truck has different tires on front than it does on rear (size wise - the front being taller). How many inches is required to level this truck? Im not planning on towing anything at all.
Also, how does this sound for suspension lift wise (my own built kit):
-Leveling spacers
-3.5" Lift spindles
-2" Lift Coils
-4" Block lift
-2" Add-A-Leaf lift
-4 new struts
-steering stabilizer
What else is needed? I may do a caster/camber kit if it needs it.
Thanks Guys! Pics to be posted soon!

Yeah... wasn't fun dealing with insurance and looking at the car everyday for a week while taking it apart.. I almost have all the parts sold that I took off so I've made about 5k plus the 11k.

Although my truck will never be like his, I want some similar styling along with some pre-runner look to it.
