Bora brakes? Those are wheel spacers.

I would love it if the front wasn't higher than the rear.

It's actually level. The front left tire is up on a curb and the rear is loaded with the OEM wheels and tires.

Alright, today I did the Bambi mode, added the heated/ cooled seats to the Home screen and enabled the "Lincoln" style folding mirrors. Thanks to the FORScan!

The evolution of the rig continues.

Added today a set of 30W Cree LED lights from Amazon.

I drilled into the frame using a Cobalt drill bit. You'll need a harder bit since the frame is hardened steel. I used steel tapping screws (not included with the kit) to mount them to the frame.

There are several posts that show you can get power from the center pin on the 7 connector for the trailer. I am using that same pin. Splice and go. No error codes, no faults, no trailer detected.

All in all, the install took about 20-25 minutes including drilling and splicing.

Purchased the LED running board lights from F150LEDS. Was pretty impressed on how much light they actually put out. I was pretty skeptical about how a lot of these images appear on a lot of vendor web sites. Anyhow, install took all of about 30 minutes as per their video. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. NONE of these pics were edited.
