Gotts mod will give you some power and its cheap. You can also do the Ziptie mod to help throttle response, and if you're a 4x4 cranking the torsion bars will give you a better stance and taller ride height

Its a 98 f150 4x4 with f250 suspension so it does sit a little higher.

If you crank the torsion bars the front will sit level with the rear. If it were mine some cheap easy things I'd do is remove the steps and paint the grille surround white. The matched surround flows better with the truck IMO and the black kinda makes it look like an XL work truck.

Why is it 08 and up? Did they go back to the old mount or what? Interested in swapping this myself.

08 is when they started putting steps on. Anything before will be just like what you have but a different badge
