So its taking me forever to get this going but here we go...

Ive had the truck for almost 2 years now, 2007 5.4 lariat, got it from carmax very nice to work with by the way. truck was up by kansas city and 100 they brought it to me to look at in tulsa ok where i left that day with it! only thing it did have was nav (yet) but had stock running boards and bed liner...



First pic I took right after I bought her.




I went home and took the steps off and already had big plans ahead..



Few days finally got the windows done I couldnt take it much longer. and had the exhaust done flowmaster 50 dual in dual out.



Got my H.I.D.s put in 8000k high/low and fogs






Well smoked the tails took the headlights apart painted them painted the emblems flat black and put the towing mirrors on and no more chrome grill And My pioneer D3 nav put in!

Well while I had plans to get the lift goin got laid off work and put a big hold on it for about a year... but then got a new job and worked my *** off and go the plain going again... I knew I wanted the Rize just after looking on this sit it was taking people months to get and they are a pain the ***** to get anything done.. So I called about 5 places and then called Rize to see if they had any in to get. They all called back and said there where 2 kits!! And I made a big buy for my birthday in June 2011. I ordered mine from desert rat and talked to justin who help bother the crap out of rize and a little over 2 weeks it was 45 mins away. I was so excited It got to tulsa and I couldnt wait another day so I went a picked it up.

 

Beautiful truck. Honestly I like the stock Lariat grille. I like it more than the Hella with auxiliary fogs that's on my truck. Tow mirrors must have a huge impact on the truck's safety. Eventually I'll be doing that upgrade myself. Really nice condition, looks too nice to be a work truck!

 

I'll trade you a stock lariat grille for that hella one lol.

But nice truck! It looks super clean.

 

Well as excited as i was when I opened it all up what did i find... every piece of the kit but 2 had to be re powder coated... ugh got on the phone with rize and called them 5 times tell the called me back then had to email pics to them. After it was said and done I get it redone but in black!!



Just an idea for you...



Rear shocks and front shocks(5100) came in (did get a pic of the front ones)



2 weeks at the powder coating and I go to check and this is what i walk in a see....




Later that day It was ready to come home! It turned out amazing! The ordered my Atlas 8" rear springs!

 

Few weeks later finaly the came! Next on the list was wheels so i calle my buddy and got them oredered.





20x10 FUEL hostage! The wheels and lift look good together! Last up was the tires... but had to put on hold for a little while

 

Well sorry to leave it hanging like this but photobucket keeps messing up my computer and now for the 3rd time right before i submit it it messes up and deletes everything i had... ill work more on it tomorrow/today

 

What kind of phone do you have? I use this site with the android app. Pictures are easy to post using the app.

 

Whats the app you use? I have a galaxy s 2

 

I'm using the Forum Runner app with a Samsung Galaxy S3 and every time I go to upload a pic, the app crashes. Which one are you using?

 

xlredtruck99, you're truck is coming along great. I like everything you've done so far, and would like to do the same to mine. How much money do you have invested in the lift, rims, shocks, & springs if you don't mind me asking? And what kind of tires are you putting on it? Can't wait to see some more pics. Keep up the great work!
