Hard to see, but our bikes are on the back.

RedAggie03 - Thanks for taking the time to post. I just (3 days ago) picked up a 2017 Lariat Fx4 - in black, otherwise - looks very similar to your truck.

Truck is still looking good, man! Ours are basically identical but I have the 5.0. I like the Raptor running boards and exhaust! I have the running boards on mine and have been on the lookout for Raptor exhausts but not having any luck yet finding one.

I just recently got a company truck though, a 2015 F150 XL Supercrew 4x4, so my personal F150 just sits in the garage now. I put 275/65/20 Nitto TG G2s on it a few months back but I dont have any good pics with them on yet.

I always enjoy checking back on your build when I see it updated.

Swapped out the SuperSprings for a AutoSpring 1.5" leveling kit and put the stock blocks back in this weekend. I have exactly 1/2" of rake and it looks GREAT.

I've completely pooch screwed up my towing settings though, gotta start over there and see if I can even make it work with my WDH anymore. I think my shank was already too short before, now it will be even worse.

See note below. This was the hard way....







It is SO much easier to do it this way. Just make sure you mark your bolt locations before removing them. Also, this would be a good time to install a camber kit. They're cheap and allows the alignment shop to really dial everything in



Did not need to disconnect the upper control arm. It also helped hold everything and put less stress on the IWE's.

I installed Firestone Ride Rite #2525 kit to the truck. Got it off a member here on a solid deal (thanks again!). The brackets on the kit were a bit rough due to northern winters I guess, so I cleaned up the surface rust off the brackets well, re-painted them all, and installed. With 30 PSI in the bags, my TT is much more stable. I like the bags!

I also installed black mirror reflector inserts from an XL model (I guess) to get rid of the orange reflectors in the mirrors. Also got these from a forum member for a song (thanks again!). Easy install...

Now I'm working on my black/white F150 badges to get rid of the last of the chrome on my truck.

I'm thinking about removing the EcoBoost badges... is that against EcoBoost rules?? haha....

Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty done with the truck. I still wish the sound system was better, so there might be some tweaking there in the future...I'm thinking about a new subwoofer box with two 8" subs...maybe ported...not sure.

I stuck an 8" JL Audio ACP108lg-w3v3 powered woofer in, and replaced my speakers with some Alpine SPS 517's.
The woofer has just enough bark to make a good crisp and clean thump, but not rattle the truck apart.

As far as the ecoboost badges go.. I think it would be more fun to take them off and make people wonder what that sound is

Nice Build!

Did you ever change out your subs? I am looking at the exact same setup with the Sundown SD-3 10" to fit under the small seat or going with a pair of 8"s.

Was the SD-3 10" lacking or what are you wishing was different?

I did change my sub setup. I'm running a JL 12TW3 now in a custom built ported box. The Sundown was fine, but I just wanted more bass.

I actually would consider selling the Sundown setup if anyone is interested. I have a box it can be shipped in, but it would cost about $50 due to the weight.
