2013 XLT w/ 5.0, 6.5' bed, bed cover and not much rust. Has 30,000 miles, cloth interior but a space shuttle dash. Traded my 2008 JKU Wrangler with 123K miles and some money on top. I'm getting the same mileage my jeep got, and twice the room and capacity. Wife is happy, I'm happy, dags is happy.
Just need a GOOD set of seat covers, a leveling kit and some nicer wheels/tires this winter.

Please don't fuck it up with a leveling kit . Put a functional off-road suspension on it if you're gonna do anything . Bro dozers are the most embarrassing vehicles on the road . And that includes Mexican/black gangster cars with 24" rims and curb feelers .

nice looking truck. Instead of going with the totally leveled look get a kit that leaves you about 1/2-1" of rake, it's close enough to look good but still enough rake to allow you to put 2-300lbs in the back before the truck starts to squat a bit.

I like tall and skinny too, I'm just too poor to afford a lift and new rubber. Currently on 275/55r20 (32in), but I'm considering one size up 275/60r20 (33in) without any leveling for my next purchase.

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile measure the difference in height from the ground to the top of each wheel well opening and figure out the amount of rake from front to back. Most of the '04-'14 F150s have close to three inches of rake, at least all the ones I've owned did. I went with a 1.5" Auto Spring leveling kit on my old truck and my wife's current truck and they still have a slight amount of rake to allow for hauling some weight in the box. If you end up nose high an add a leaf will fix that. |
