2017 3.5L XLT FX4 SuperCrew Long Bed Build Thread
I recently bought a 2017 F150 XLT FX4 with the 3.5L EcoBoost. It is a super crew with the 6.5' bed. Love the overall look of this configuration. This 3.5L EB is blowing me away. So much fun to drive compared to my previous Ram Ecodiesel. Plus, I have the factory 36 gal tank and I'm getting around 21 mpg. Very happy with this truck.
The parts list below will be updated as they are installed: Already installed: Eibach Pro-Truck 2.7" front lift with Halo Lifts Tapered 2-7/8" Rear Lift Block (2.7" Front, 1.5" Rear) ProClip center console mount Stubby Amazon antenna Ford rear wheel well liners F150LEDs cargo lights and 3rd brake light LEDs Boosted Grey Goose harness for anytime mirror spotlights SYNC3 updated to 3.4 Factory LED headlight swap Bambi mode via Forscan Boost auto dual tow mirror turn signal/DRL module Factory LED fog light swap (Platinum Super Duty Factory fog lights) Factory style fender flares (black plastic finish) Factory style mud flaps Window tint Replace chrome tailgate and door handle covers with black plastic DIY Raptor bed liner 18" F150 Sport Wheels with Raptor Center Caps 275/70/18 Cooper AT3 XLT Tires Bora 1.25” wheel spacers Front bumper covers: color matched white at fog light sections and color matched to SE grille center section Special Edition Grille Red tow hooks 2019 F150 Limited Rear bumper dual exhaust swap Borla Touring dual exhaust with Gibson Ceramic Black 5" tips Fas-Top soft tonneau and Soft topper G2 brush on Red Brake Caliper Paint Kit BuiltRight Industries rear passenger bed side Molle Panel Parts/Mods to come (in no particular order): Factory King Ranch LED Taillight conversion Raptor front skid plate Here is it after I brought it home: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...ce1918f92b.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...a78ebd0138.jpg LED bulbs in the cargo lights from F150LEDs. They match the factory bed lights much better and produce a ton of light. Very happy with them https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...2d70f16459.jpg Ford rear wheel well liners https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...f2d7d8f43e.jpg Stubby antenna from Amazon https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...5032a86b33.jpg ProclipUSA phone holder for the center console. This is my first vehicle with Carplay and this setup is perfect. Very highly recommend this if you have a center console like this! https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...93c2d4403a.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...25693a889c.jpg Thanks for looking! I will keep updating as new parts go on! |
Looks good. Looking forward to seeing the progress!

Good start :)
I like my Proclip mount too, and i hate phone mounts as a general rule. I'll say on the catch can, just go single, JLT is your best bet, but try and get the hoses as short as possible, you'll have to shorten the hoses it comes with, easiest way will be using a cheap brass barb from amazon to reconnect the shortened hoses. |

Last a long time? don't let it run the full 10k for an oil change, run synth and go 5k. Regular decent quality oil changes will make a lot of difference to it's longevity. Don't skimp on something simple.

Thanks to @Ryan B for the head light harness! The part gathering for the OEM LED Head light/Tail light conversion has begun!
Hoping to grab more parts over Black Friday/Cyber Monday. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...45d59fec8a.jpg |
LED headlight/fog light swap is almost ready. Just waiting on the screws for the ballasts and the other super duty fog light. They should be coming in this week or early next week. I’ve been scouring eBay and other parts sites for sales and buying them as I find good deals on them.

I don’t have either of those installed yet. Those are on the future mod list still. Hopefully by next summer I can start working on the lift and spacers. Not sure when I’ll do the hidden winch.
