Hey guys, Picked up a 2017 F150 XLT 302A, FX4, 3.5 eco/10 speed, SCab, 6.5' box a couple weeks ago...

I ordered the truck October 3rd, 2016 and it arrived Feb 1 2017. Four months total. WOW!

I had a 2013 FX4 5.0l previous to this.

My plans for this truck are nothing extreme, just designed to supplement the factory abilities and, and a few mild upgrades.

-Airbags, to level the load with a side by side in the bed
-Custom in-bed carrier for the side by side, probably build this myself.
-275/70/18 BFG KO2 or DuraTrac (for next winter)
-20" Rigid Light bar front (Remote area of northern Canada...)
-2x Rigid D2 Dually lights on the back for reverse lights (Also the turn your ****ing high beams off ******** dodge driver behind me lights)

I would like to level it, and run 34" tires, but I need the rake as I tow and regularly have 2000lb's in the bed.

Also considering a tidy tank. TBD.

Anyway, meet the Blue Beast;

Fresh off the truck!





We have a TON of snow right now... Plowing every few days at this point.



Ah, the toy!

Sharp truck like the blue.
If you tow a lot an worry about the rake just put air bags on it an you can adjust it.

Thanks!

I'm going to leave it as is, and see how it does when I have 1500lb in the bed, or when it's towing, and if I see much sag then i'll add 'em.

AWESOME day snow wheeling!
