Thanks!


Sorry I forgot any details


1999 XLT 5.4 Automatic with 106,000 miles.


Only mods so far are.


Lightning headlights (originals were yellowed)
Edge Tuner (85250) haven't played with it much yet
LED brake lights (previous owner had two different color ones somehow so I replaced them)




Next up for me will be exhaust but sadly the aftermarket for these trucks isn't as big as I expected (coming from the Mustang community at least)

I've never been disappointed with the exhaust options.....honestly on these just a muffler swap works great, and if looking for more a custom built system is the way to go anyway

A good exhaust shop can do a 1 off just as good if not better than the pre man kits out there. I'm running LT's, DI/DO, & 2 1/2" pipes with no cats & Lightning style turn outs. Love the sound & performance. I'm all original.

If you want a nice stance so your wheels and tires stick out your either buying wheels with at least a -24 offset or getting wheel adapters which is the less expensive but same effect without any damage if you get wheel and hub centric adapters...wheels spacers are the cheap junk plates that u get that goes between the wheel and hub...adapters are thicker and have a set of new studs on them just in case u didn't know

There is nothing wrong with wheel adapters if you know what you're buying and you don't want to spend $800-$1000 on a new set of wheels with a nice offset.... The only thing is you have to have aftermarket wheels. You can't use stock wheels or at least they highly recommend you dont

Oh I'm highly disappointed with Ford F1 50 exhaust systems. All the resignators they put on that keeps the sound in and from really barking out compared to a dodger Chevy or GMC...I've had flow master 40, 50 and I can't gety truck even close to the loudness as my buddies dodge unless I cut the muffler off

Flowmaster 40 is louder than just a cut off pipe. Chevy and gmc trucks sound like ****,cut your cats out and put on a flowmaster 10.
