Awesome! Did you finish this over the weekend, or literally just a little bit ago? Curious if you tested out the new suspension

 

[jimmak85]

over the weekend and tested out last night. did very well it was stated on here that the rough country bolt holes don't line up sometimes i had no problem. only issue i have is the skid plate under gas tank rubs drive shaft on big bumps. When i flipped the rear i bought spring perches from tractor supply rated at 5200lbs and pitched the pinion up so it lined up with the drive shaft properly. ride is just like stock, as for flex i dont really wheel where i need to flex out a lot so im not sure but i def went through a lot of holes with water and it was a lot easier now that the water only comes up to my rocker panels instead inside the cab with me lol.

did you have to alter any steering stuff
how long did it take you
love the new look
what else are you planning

Looks good.

Just watch out for your front diff hitting the Rough Country drop-plate bracket extension... Plenty of reports around of that thing busting a hole in the top of the diff housing (ideally you may want to lower the bumpstops down further to where it'll prevent the diff from hitting).

steering wise i have the rough country drop pitman arm (4"). thank you for reminding me about the drop plate issue i cut 2 pieces of square stock to drop the front bump stops down and also have the steering stabilizer from rough country. thank you for all the compliments if anybody wheels in wharton LMK my buddy has a 2nd gen same height on 35s we are out there every weekend.

the fact that you added the f150 seats helped. i had mine the way way. i simply could not make it smack a hole in the pumpkin. i even tried a few times and jumped the truck.. if it was just the 4" lift that would make it just a matter of time.

it looks really good as it sits. 5" and 33s are about perfect for these trucks as far as looks. a 34 or a 35 that measures small might look best

Looks nice. Any plans for rims and tires? Brush guard?

I have an add a leaf and shackles in the rear and am still finishing up my front. I got f150 coils and need the coil seats still.
