Default project ghost recon build
hey yall been on here since 2007 since I had my 06 stx but now I have a 2014 fx4 and money to finially do a build. super stoked. I got the 5.0 with 5.5' bed screw cab. idea suggestion and help advice all welcomed... here some pictures so far I just got it yesterday and the dealer owes me fender flares body matched from smittybilt.... and the tires are gona come off my old truck. and first question when I transfer my tires from 275/65r18 to 33/12.5r20 with I have to get my speed fixed from ford or does it fix it self or is it not a big difference?

The speedo will be off. Ford can't change the speed unless you happen to buy a tire size that is offered on a F150. SCT tuner will have to fix that.

why is the dealer getting you aftermarket flares when they offer PTM OEM? Personally would prefer OEM.

SCT x3 3015 or the new x4 4015 will work. Highly suggest a custom tune opposed to the canned ones. MPT. 5 star, Leading Edge

Gonna be a nice build. 33's only throw it off a couple miles an hr, I still haven't calibrated for my 35's, it's only off 4 or 5 mph at 70.

Use this to calculate how much it'll be off, I went from stock 18 Lariats to 17 Raptors and I'm only off a mile or two, I just keep that in mind when I'm driving around. http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos

Plasti-dip the Orange reflectors on the back of your mirrors to black!

They are custom tuners that are well respected on the forums. Can't go wrong with any of them
