Hey everyone,
I have a 2007 F150 XL 4.2 that is black. I was thinking about buying a 3" leveling kit and a 1" block in the rear and buying some 285 all terrains. After all that, I was going to black out the headlights and the wheels. Do you think that would look good? Any other suggestions I can do on my tight budget? Thanks for the help, -Lee

 

smoke your tails and 3rd brake light, tint the windows (i did mine myself for $35), get rid of the huge stock muffler and weld in somethin like a flowmaster or magnaflow dependin on what kinda sound you are goin for. all of this is cheap and simple.

 

thanks uscg! do you think my future set up will look good or bad? thanks

 

Hey, I have the exact same question, about the 3" leveling kit and 1" block with 285/70-17's on a 2wd, will it work and will it look good?

 

Don't do 3" level, too much creates bad angles on your front suspension, go with either a 2" or 2.5" and 1" block if you'd like, tint tails, blackout headlights, window tint, some new exhaust wheels and beefy tires, and PTM and it'd look real sharp.

 

I realize your truck is 2wd and mine is 4wd but I thought I would post pics of mine because this is somewhat the look you are going for I believe. Tires are 325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers with 18x9 XD Monster Rims. Windows are tinted to 15%. I have the autosprings 2.5" leveling kit on. I used VHT Nightshades to darken my taillights, 3rd brake light, and fog lights. The headlights are from ebay for $85.00. Any other questions let me know!

 

did you paint the rear and front bumper yourself or did it come like that?

 

STX models come with painted bumpers.

 

Should look good. But i would go with 295s versus 285s

 

Is there a way to paint over the chrome? If not can stx bumpers be swapped onto a 07 xlt model?
