Default 9SIX4's 2017 Lariat SCREW

Hello all- I figured I would share the changes I'l be making to my 2017 Lariat 5.0 4WD as well as introduce myself. Name is John and this is my first Ford for personal use. I've owned many under our business. But, up until this one, I've always been a GM fan- Suburbans, Yukons and a Camaro. But these F150's got me. Loving this thing. Very different from my previous daily drivers over the past 15 years- All German sedans/coupes...

Goal is to have it lowered- Looking at the Belltech 1001HK. 22" Niche M204 Vosso wheels and a set of Nitto NT420S. As for additional things, we'll see where it goes...

Couple quick changes up first;

I didn't care for the stock grill. I like the Raptor grill without the FORD. So I threw this on there. Not 100% set on it, but until I find something better it will do. I chose not to wire the lights. Just not my thing.

Next up was to swap out the rear tailgate emblem. I'm just not into any emblems. I prefer to de-badge all of our cars. Obviously its a trick to de-badge the rear Ford. Next best IMO is body color matched Ford.

Rear F-150 removed, as well as the "Sport" on the bed sides

White Ford

Other small changes:

Stubby antena
Tinted front windows and windshield.

Weather is crappy here so I'm not in to much of a hurry to throw the wheels on and lower it just yet. Sucks working in a cold garage...

Some new parts going. Much needed upgrade on the shocks. Adjustable up a-arms to correct the camber. Truck already handles well, the fox’s Made a great improvement. Get the front dialed in will be nice.
