Default New guy from Boise

Finally bought my first truck in November. 07 F150 Supercrew XLT 5.4 2WD. Awesome truck. I love it. Now that I have a truck I will never buy another car or SUV, they just don't compare. Bought an F150 because in my opinion they are the best trucks out there. Glad to be a part of this forum.

I am going with the 3" hell bent steel up front as well, and also going with a fatbobsgarage add-a-leaf spring kit in the back for 2" of lift, plus an extra 900lbs of towing weight. I am going with both of those because my f150 for some reason doesn't seem as tall as most. So with both of those kits it will only be .5" taller in the back. Good for hauling my a big boat. How is the 3" hell bent steel front kit, does it give a full 3" lift?

You have a 09 FX4, thats awesome. The new body style is great. And FX4, you just can't beat it. I was looking at a 2010 FX4, but too far out of my price range. Someday I will upgrade, but I am just real happy to be a truck owner now. I'll post some pics of my truck how it is now, then some of it with the level kit, and then I'll post some pics of my Chrysler 300 that I used to own before I bought my F150. It's a pretty incredible change. I absolutely love my F150 though, the only way I will buy anything else is if I just have so much money I don't know what to do with it.
