157” Lead Foot

Hey All,

So this will be my intro even though I have been hanging out here and browsing for some time.

Just got in my XLT, 157” SCrew, Max Tow, 302A, 3.5EB.

Love it. Can’t wait to get some things going.

So far I plan on a new antenna immediately as I had to take the stock one off just to get in to my attached garage. Want to get the windows tinted to match the back and I have already put in some Weather Techs, which fit great.

Leveling Kit will be in the works as well.

Future plans are in the pics. Let’s see where this goes!

Got it off of eBay actually. Says it was for a Special Edition XLT.

I might be a little biased but I sure do love the look of a leveled 157 wb. That color looks sharp, it's growing on me.

Thanks....

I really like the F250's, and this setup, to me, resembles a "Jr" F250.

Same here! I was about to pull the trigger on a 2017 super duty 6.2, but the dang thing was huge. I Couldn't fit in the garage height wise and I wasnt overly impressed with the 6.2's power or mpg. I couldn't justify the 6.7 so I ended up with a f150 157" 3.5 ecoboost. Can't wait to see the rest of your build, the 2018 front end is sharp. Like you said it resembles the f250 more now.
