Default Lifted my 06

We've had this truck for awhile but it never got any attention. It has low miles though, a clean interior and I decided to go with a little more aggressive look with it.

It's an 06 XLT, 5.4, 4X4. It has a 6 inch RCX lift now with 35 inch toyo open country m/t's. The wheels are 17 inch XD wheels. It is regeared to 4.10 and the computer is set up so the speedo reads correct.

I believe I am painting it forrest green and beige. The paint and body are in great shape but I have an 06 king ranch parts truck that is that colour and I think it would look great on this.

The truck will be my DD which was a mustang GT since I sold my 97 pictured below.

Adding a couple of leafs in the back end this week. It doesn't squat as bad as the pictures show (it's on a hill) but I want the *** end to sit up a little higher then the front.

Ill take those termi mirrors on your mustang lol

Nice looking trucks by the way! Painting it seems like a lot of work if the current paint is in good shape.

Agreed. The truck looks good as is in red. If that was a recent pic of your 97, that was in great shape.

Yeah, it was clean as hell. 97, 4.6, 4x4, standard. Base model but it was clean so I sucked it up on the crank window ****. Had cruise, tilt and AC though. And yes, they are 35's. I had to take a picture of the tire size because someone argued it with me. They look smaller in some pics but they were 35/12.50/17's on a 2.5 inch level. Bit of trimming required.
