I'm sitting here waiting for my build to complete so I thought I would put up some before pics and let you all know what the specs are.

2018 Black Lariat 4x4 2.7 Liter Ecoboost Supercrew
SPORT PACKAGE
502A package
Technology Package

First mod was before I left the dealer, I changed the grill to to the STX grill. I contemplated getting the SE grill and getting the SE smoke colored lights but I couldn't justify the cost of the lights and didn't know if the SE grill would look good without the associated lights being they are the same color.

I have pics of the before and after for both grills.
I am installing Rancho Quicklifts up front.
I am putting on Hostile Alpha Blade cut 20x10 wheels -19 offset
They will sit inside 285/55r20 BFG KO2's. I wanted to go 285/60 or 305/55 but I don't want to remove the crash bars. If there is enough clearance, I may go up on the size.
I will probably LINE-X the bed. I have tinted the front windows and put a strup across the top of the windshield.


AFTER GRILL CHANGE

Really like the 2.7 thus far, MPG below was on trip home from dealer, about 70% HWY, 30 % city ....wonder how much the mods will hit the MPG


Here are some pics of the other products I am installing

Nice truck. I love the clean black look. I almost went with those rims. Very nice choice.

Thanks, I really like the Hostile wheels. I see alot of Fuel and XD wheels and didn't want to join club. I do not see many Hostile wheels.

I actually had room for a bigger tire, slightly at least. I wanted ot keep crash bars so it limited my size with the negative offset.

Here is the some pics of the room

What size Quick Lift did you go with?

there is only one size, its not height adjustable
Here is what Stage 3 website says:
Rancho's quikLIFT loaded 2.75" leveling kit system is one of those chose few and comes with a full strut assembly with a loaded spring and mount that adds some extra ride height to your truck along with some high-quality hardware that provides vastly improved performance over your factory strut and spring. This kit is a perfect and easy way to get enhanced performance and some extra clearance for mounting larger wheel and tire options.
Rancho's leveling kit raises your truck's front ride height up by 2.75", reducing your F150's front rake and lets you fit on big tires for more ground clearance and a more aggressive appearance. The front strut included in this kit has nine settings for stiffness that allows you adjust your truck's suspension performance for just about any application you can think of. The kit also includes a new mount, loaded spring, and jounce bumper so that you can simply swap out your factory strut assembly with Rancho's pre-assembled hardware.​​​​​​​
what's weird is in their Q&A section on these and on the phone with them they told me it was two inches. What I have noticed currently is I am sitting an inch higher i nthe front than the back, so maybe it really is 2.75"? I heard they will settle some but not sure an inch. I am looking at putting a small block in the back to level it now LOL....
