1 1/2" Ford Performance drop shackles installed today. Left the Roadmasters on. They rubbed the frame pretty loudly it was being put back on the ground, but they seemed to clear it after that. Loading some 3x9 marble slabs into it tomorrow, so we'll see if they cause any problems then.

I like that, a little different on a long bed, but it looks good. How much rake do you have left?

About 1 1/2". Stock blocks removed as well. I'm guessing it would be dead level without the Roadmasters, but it's still a work truck so it's gotta stay functional.

Hurts to see that it was damaged earlier. I was also given, more so chose, a Tundra as a Rental when mine was in the shop. I enjoyed it but was so eagerly awaiting the return of my truck haha

Thanks!
Yeah, Enterprise had 2 SCREW F150s with 5.5' beds and a SCAB Tundra with a 6.5' bed and a tow hitch, so I got the Tundra. It definitely rode better and had comfier seats, but it was loud and slow. Backseats were kinda handy since I don't have a usable car right now. (Waiting for VW to buy back my TDI so I can get another one.)

In case you were wondering why it's a longbed...

I move things.

Made it to Harbor Freight today for a new claw thingy. (The old one broke as soon as I pulled it out the other day.)
Diode Dynamics switchbacks installed, so I'm all LED up front.
Damn, these things are bright.

Any extra harnesses or resistors needed for the SL1s? Got my mouse over the checkout button at Ess K right now with the H11 SL1s in the cart. The low beams on this truck are every bit as awful as I remember and until I get those Squadrons in, the fogs are of little help.
