2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

[Jsweezy]

I was literally just telling my buddy I needed to get some fox shocks on the rear end of my truck because I didn't like how it rolled around corners. Glad to see you did it and like the improvement!

Its funny going from a stock transit 350 with a medium roof and stock suspension and not liking how the f150 rolls around corners ha ha. Granted the Transit had a beefy rear sway bar, and actually I am surprised mine didn't come with one with the tow package.

Transit 350 also had rock hard tiny tires. If the van wasn't loaded anywhere near GVWR the handling is "firm" to say the least

Got my Fox 2.0 front shocks installed finally! Picking up the Raptor wheels from my storage and hopefully having them mounted today. So stoked on the look of the truck and even more stoked once I get the raptor wheels on. Handling seems to be great, haven’t done too much except for the speed bumps in the military housing by my house. I installed everything myself which was also fun, but a little nerve wracking. Hitting anza this weekend to test it all out!



I also picked up some gear... knock off maxtraxx, tire deflator kit and a Viair compressor. And of course the lifeguard has is a must

New vs Old

The fox shocks made such a great difference. Now that the fronts are on the ride is definitely a little more stiff in general but the handling has improved and it feels more solid when I go over speed bumps or uneven pavement etc. Kinda of feels like my truck has a 6 pack and has some sold core strength. The kit was 1k from stage 3 motorsports and the install was fairly simple after spending a few hours studying what to do.

Highly suggest it!

Good to hear!

I also just snagged up one of those Viair compressors,I got the 400p as it was in stock locally. Pretty cool how it works!

Damn all you cool kids with your air pumps.

@SDDiver5 I like the lifeguard hat but I think old boonie caps take the cake.

[Todd n Natalie]

Ah. Air compressors... Here's the one I use.



I just have to go somewhere else to use it. And pay a dollar... and I can't take it camping..... ?

Got the Raptor wheels mounted and HOT DAMN!!!

I feel like I just met my soul mate.





This is exactly how I pictured it in my mind when I started this build and I am thrilled if you can’t tell

Those look great man!

(Now ceramic coat them so they stay clean and shiny ;-) )

 

[Antwon412]

Looking good! It’s amazing how a good set of wheels and tires can make you just love your truck.

Since I did mine, I find myself popping into the garage just to look at my truck!
