2013 F150 XLT Supercab Long Bed Build
I bought my 2013 F150 XLT Supercab 4x4 with a long bed, the heavy duty payload package, and max trailer tow package with about 45k miles in February 2017. Here it is the day I bought it.
Current mods:
- Line-X spray-in bedliner
- A.R.E. MX series topper with walk-in rear door and windoor side windows
- Halo Lifts BOSS 0-3" coilovers set at 2.75"
- Specialty Performance UCAs
- BOSS extended length rear shocks
- 3" rear tapered block (adding 1.75" of rear height - it replaces the stock 1.25" block)
- XD Series Rockstar 2 17x9" -12 offset all black wheels
- 285/75R17 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T.
Next up in my build, relatively in the order I'm thinking, is:
- LED headlights and LED foglights (ordered, will try to install in the next week)
- Raptor-style grille (ordered will try to install in the next couple weeks)
- Sleeping platform with drawer storage underneath (still working out the design details)
- RCI Metalworks complete skid plate set (will order and try to install in the next month or so)
- Color-matched Bushwacker pocket style fender flares (will order and try to install in the next month or so)
- Custom fabricated rear bumper with swing away tire carrier and jerry can holder (will order in the next month and have installed when ready)
- Custom fabricated, bed rail-mounted, over-topper and cab roof rack (will order in the next month and have installed when ready)
- Back-up camera (ordered and will install once new rear bumper has been installed)
- Rack-mounted awning (order/install TBD)
- Road shower (order/install TBD)
- 50" Rigid light and multiple, smaller, rack-mounted lights (order/install TBD)
I'll update this post with new pictures and mod information as I complete them.

Yeah, I bought custom drilled blanks from BB Wheels, and even then, the options were pretty slim. I don't know what Ford was thinking creating a unique, new bolt pattern just for the heavy duty payload package F150s. With that said, I wasn't sure about the wheels I got, but I'm really happy with the look.
