With too much time to think and with some newer friends who had trucks that were quicker than mine out in the dunes, I decided I wanted to go with longer bypass shocks through the bed for more rear suspension travel, so I schemed for a couple months and in December right before I pulled the...
So mid 2020 we are at here and I am enjoying the truck at the dunes on trips but I find myself just wanting more and more performance out of the truck.
Couple pictures from trips in June / July
At this point I wanted the rear width of the truck to match the front, so I ordered ADV raptor...
Honestly thats probably the route im going to go. The decision came down to fully back halfing the truck or doing something like keeping the frame and bed and doing a notch with a fuel cell for now is what I was thinking anout
we now flash forward to march of 2020.
I started to look into doing a lift in the rear and getting more performance out of the truck but did not like the idea of rear lift blocks. So I got these. Icon RTX leaf springs. I liked these over deaver springs at the time because it came with an...
while this is true those shocks were ultimately a waste of money with the direction I took the truck in which ill post about later today.
My wife and I are usually up there a hand full of weekends out of the year. We will be back up there at the end of July!
When I was planning out what kit to buy for my truck, I had mentioned to Dave that I saw some people online talking about cutting the stock coil buckets off to install a 10" coilover in the front for some more travel with the mid travel kit. He was of the mindset that while you could do this...
Figured I would start a post around my truck. This is what started as a 2013 f150 I bought with the intention of towing around my foxbody project car. Well as all things in life my priorities changed and now this truck is my toy to go play in the sand.
Some old pictures first.
August 2019...
Late to the party here too but here it goes:
Goal 1 with my truck is to get the front kit on. I have a blitzkreig long travel front end kit for my truck. Coilovers are here bypasses have been ordered. Want to get it on at the end of the year.
Goal 2 is to figure out what to do with the rear...
I have the powerstop pads with stock rotors on my truck and I have enjoyed them! The initial bite from the pads is quite good. I think you’ll enjoy them
I got deals on most of the lights. Buddy was getting rid of the lp9’s and cut me an insane deal and the squadron fog lights were also gifted to me from another friend. Trust me I'm not nearly as much of a baller as all my race lights might make it seem lol.
I have 2 LP9's in the center, 2 LP6's next to them. Two LP4's on the A pillar lights, 2 Squadron fog lamps, and in the rear 2 S2 sports in the 3rd brake light and 2 S2 sports in the rear bumper mounted like reverse lights
So I have a 2013 f150 with raptor swapped front suspension on it. I was in the same boat as you where I wanted to keep the IWE'S cause of mpg, wear on the drivetrain and such. I had no issues with mine up until when my truck hit about 105k on it. Then my truck destroyed 3 iwe's within a month. I...
