Thanks!
Suspension is all stock. No spacers, lift, or level. Was/am prepared to lift, if needed. I rarely carry much weight, though, and my off-roading is limited to roadside ditches, fields, pastures, and wooded ravines. Had upsized BFG KO2 tires on my previous F150, but not this big. They never let me down.
LEDs (Fahren) were a simple swap and made a big difference.

Default New to the truck gang

Been lurking a little over a year now. This is my first truck, got last year and it had 66k on the dash. I couldn’t pass it up. Brand new to me 2010 Platinum. Lol

Gotta get rid of that rake for sure.


Gotor FX3 tonneau cover. It had a Trifecta soft fold when I got it. Needless to say the straps were dry rotted and while it was in the folded position I hit a dip in the road and rest is history.

I have the same truck but a 2013. What do you mean by getting rid of the rake?

A 2” level in the front will get rid of the factory rake. It bolts on the top of your struts and gives you a little more room to fit a larger tire for a more aggressive stance without messing with the suspension. That’s all I need for a daily driver.

Thanks. I actually have the 5.4 Triton which is not too bad. I hear that Ecoboost is bad *** though.

Nitjing wrong with the 5.4L. I’ve had 2 of them and my parents 3 of them. No problems with any of ours besides terrible fuel mileage towing a camper. That’s why I got rid of my last one and got a diesel. Been back to gas now since 2010.
