Thanks, Andrew! It does take time to bring ideas to fruition, and this site gives lot's of ideas...lol!
We should plan some kind of group GTG in the Spring for all the North East F150 crowd. Englishtown has a huge swap meet in April with a shine and show entry where you get to park on the track as a group.
if I can swing it I’m down. That sounds like right around when I’m planning the majority of my build to go down. Hopefully it’s done!
That sounds wicked. A bit too loud for my tastes lol, but every time I hear the rare 5.0 with an ATAK roll down the street, I'm filled with nothing but admiration. And yeah, those are indeed ATAK trucks, big Borla sticker and uninhibited growl that definitely isn't from an S-type haha. I can hear your turn signals hyperflashing though...maybe time for some resistor packs?
I love how you're setting out to make the truck your own. The STX grille and DIY underseat storage are neat af, but I have to say that the Raptor bumper + twin rear exits as well as the DIY two-tone are some of the best ideas I've ever seen on here. Keep it up!

Thank you, the sound has mellowed just slightly by my daily use but it's still an incredible sounding setup. I did Forscan the hyper flash delete, the hill descent upgrade, and the Bambi setting for the Morimoto XB LED fog lights last month.
The weather has dropped the temps too much to make any more mods not having a garage at least until my schedule and mother nature sync up...lol

Wow, hyperflash be be eliminated with Forscan now?? I still have a lot to learn lol
It's kind of hard to find pictures on google for '18 air dam deletes, but I see you've taken yours off. Do you plan on dremeling the tabs off? On the '17 I didn't bother and just trimmed the air dam along the mid contours and put it back on, but the '18 air dam looks...interesting.

No, I'm not putting it back on, one less thing to drag through the snow...lol plus all those damn bolts holding it on!
I do plan on doing either ICON or Halo 2" level this Spring or sooner if the weather cooperates and when the funds are available, I've pretty much tapped this years piggy bank.

If you are tight on cash, the Halo kit looks like it might be a better choice, since the Icon is a 2.5" coilover after all whose price reflects that fact. I've heard nothing but praise for Icon though (with the exception of Taco owners, but they **** needlessly on everything that's not King). Fox has left an incredibly foul taste in my mouth, so as far as I'm concerned there are only the Halo and Bilstein 6112 kits to choose from if one doesn't want to commit to the price of 2.5" hardware.

Tires are also a consideration with the level kit and going to a slightly larger 33" not too crazy, my better half and MIL still have to get in, and sidebars in either SS black powder coated or aluminum black powder coated due to the amount of salt they use around.

Looks like some people rub with 285/70R17 (32.8") and some don't on stock suspension. But for SCab and SCrew it seems that loosening, adjusting and re-tightening the crash bars does the trick in a few quick minutes.

What tires are you looking at?
Actually last night I replaced the stock Wranglers with Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 265/70R17, not the LT's. Got a screaming deal $150 each complete mount, balanced, alignment, installed with lifetime road hazard and rotations. It's still dark so no pictures yet!
