Default 3.7 on 37's!

Well, here it is. Yeah I know, it's a 2WD. Lol I'm sure everybody is going to say it doesn't have the power to turn them, but hey coming from a jeep this thing is still a powerhouse! No not really, I lost 6th gear completely. It's not really that big of a deal, as soon as I put it in drive I click the gear selector down one to only allow it to shift into 5th gear. But I don't drive like a bat out of hell, and this thing still gets a hand-calculated 14.8. The raptor struts up front make this thing ride like a dream. I still have to move the springs to the middle perch setting, because it still has the stock lean and needs to come up about an inch and a half. The upper control arms are still about the same angle as stock. But so far It's been the perfect truck for me, I love it and I love the way it turned out.
Here's the specs:
2012 F150 XLT-Custom 2WD with 3.7l V6. Harley-Davidson heads and tails
5% tint all the way around
Front lift:
6" zone 2WD lift
SVT Raptor front struts
2.5" autospring leveling kit
Rear:
4.5" block
1.5" add-a-leaf
6" longer Fox 2.0 shocks
Wheels:
20x10 Fuel Full-Throttle with -24mm offset
Tires:
37x13.50x20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Well, here's some pics!!!

Looks nice man! Real aggressive look to it. I have a 3.7V6 as well and can't wait to get better tires, nothing all out like you have done the wife would kill me, but hoping to get a 2" level on the front and some 20" rims instead of the stock 17s. I just wish I knew the exact hit i'd take on MPG cause I honestly like the MPG I am getting now (average 17.5). You say doing all that you have done there and you still get almost 15? Thats impressive.

Looks great.

Since it's only 2WD, have you considered re-gearing the rear-end?

will look much better with the coilovers turned up a hair. Definitely would regear if you haven't already. That a HD grill too?

Looks awesome man. Get a tuner and it will help out even more.

4.10 rear would fix the 6th gear issue probably.
