Default New additions

Added FX4/Raptor Heads and Tails
Raptor High brake Light

AAL and Halo Boss Coilovers w/ ICON UCAs. Set at 2-3/4" Ride is great, sway bar is disconnected as well. Absolutely love the way she sits now, perfect in my eyes.

Waiting on some MPT Tunes, figured I would try them over my 5*. And Waiting to pull the trigger on a Magnaflow setup, been on the fence for a while, finally talked the wife into it(didn't take much she likes the sound too), just waiting till after taxes to keep her happy. Had a bad setup earlier that droned and went back to stock.

Nice upgrades, truck looks great. Did you have a level on before the new boss coils? I was just wondering how the ride was comparing level kit to the higher coils.

Looks Great! I have the Boss Coilovers and ICONs on my truck also and im local to you. I love the way it rides, huge improvment over stock. The Stiffler tractions bars also helped alot, before the Boss rear shock and before the traction bars the rearend always felt like it wanted to jump in the other lane when i hit a bump. Now it planted and much more stable! Not sure if you did all the work yourself but i do mechanic work(mostly suspenstion and performance) on the side and can pretty much guarantee im cheaper than any shop if you didnt do the work yourself.







Also, not sure if you found that the ICON UCAs are a MFer to grease because the zerk fitting is installed on the bottom side of the arm. Personally i thought it was a huge PITA. So i got creative! Check this out....

I had a 2.5" Kit on my truck(2WD) before installing the Bosses. The 2.5" kit wasnt much different that stock to be honest. The Bosses are amazing! Been having them for a couple years now and couldnt be happier. All my friends with leveled F150s call it "The Marshmellow" because it rides so good. I just recently put the 22"s and E Rated LT tires on it which made the ride a little more rough but still better than it was stock with stock 20" wheels and tires.

I had a 2" level, that I thought was 1.5" the dealer installed, compared to that and stock, it rides way much better, and even with the sway bar disconnected, it rolls less and feels planted.

Thanks Wayne, I had it broken down under my car port, fun fun. The Icons are a Pita, and I will be borrowing your creativity here soon. With the AALs the back ends feel way much better.

Thanks, now they need to open the beaches again, LOL. It's been a rough year, things are looking up again though.

Yes indeed..they spent all that money on Elmer's and pretty much shut it down to most people. Birdwatcher's and coyotes have taken it over!

If you don't mind me asking, about how much did you pay for your Raptor 3rd Brake Light? Also, did your truck have the running light wire or did you run one yourself?
