i just recently bought a f150 XLT Lariat 4.9L I6 4wd 5spd trans short bed

i want to start building on it, it already has a 2-3 in. body lift on it and 33s. as of right now i wanna put a super 44 on it or straight pipe? and another 2in. suspension lift.

i need some ideas on what else to do i wanna do some performance mods i just don't know where to start, im open to just about anything so all comments are welcome.

heres a picture more will come tomorrow

 

Cold air intake, new plugs and wires, new distributor cap and a new coil , and timing bump. And maybe a 2-4 inch suspension lift.

 

ive gotten most of this done im trying to figure out maybe some exterior things as well

 

Mount some lights on that grille guard, get a tool box they look good and are handy and you can always ADD MORE LIGHTS!

 

yeah i was thinking some lights on the grill gaurd, i have a toolbox already, and i was curious if the the lights that run across the top of the cab like most the f2-350s have would look?

 

Electric fan, msd6, and a flowmaster will pay for themselves in gas mileage, and make it faster. I split the exaughst behind the o2 sensor on my 89 then ran 2.25" dual pipes and cherry bombs exiting under the box side. Sounded more like a couple of harleys than a truck, flowmaster sounds good and doesn't echo in the cab, mines a 40 I think, its been under the truck five years, so money well spent.

As for looks, I d build some prerunner bumpers, but the stuff you got doesn't look bad, shine up the rims, the chrome centers from OEM ford rims would go on those with a little work with a drill and tap, these trucks look way better with square off road lights, a bed bar, rollbar, whatever would look good.

I d love to see a picture of it parked on top of the mustang.

 

so shouldnt straight pipe it? and i was looking at a flowmaster super44?

The super 44 should sound about the same, the straight pipe would drive you nuts after the first day, how about an electric cut out?

 

electric fan cutout?
