If anyone is interested in knowing, after installing the Bilstein 5100 front shocks at the highest 2.5” setting and installing the rears, here were my measurements for front/back height:
BEFORE INSTALL
FRONT: 37.25”
REAR: 40.5”
AFTER 5100 INSTALL FRONT & BACK
FRONT: 39.75”
REAR: 40.25”
Well it took way to long, but here are some pictures of my truck with the following updates.
1. Bilstein 5100 2.5” leveling kit (front & rear)
2. Mammoth 1.5” wheel spacers
3. 285/65/18 Falken Wildpeaks
Did you end up having to make any driveshaft adjustments with the rear block? Any issues you run into that you’d warn against? I’m looking to do pretty much the same setup with Bilstein 5100’s at 2.5” in the front.
Nothing big, but added a couple new items. Found a slamming deal on a NIB tonneau cover on marketplace. Really happy to add that.
can’t wait for the bilstein 5100 to come in. I’m leaning toward sticking with the existing rims and going with a bigger tire, but still toying with new wheels to...
Curious how the 295/70R18 Falcon Wildpeak AT3W tires fit.... do you have any rubbing at all?
Do you have adaptive cruise? Any changes to its functionality with the lift and tires?
I recently picked up nearly identical truck and after I install the Bilstein 5100 level/lift struts, I am...
So far just a few small updates and mods… but she is on her way! The Bilstein 5100 level/lift is on order so stay tuned.
Removed the antenna and installed a stubby.
installed a 5.0L COYOTE V8 emblem on the tailgate. I purposefully installed it on the left as to ensure it wasn’t confused with...
Thanks! I was actually looking for a white truck as I love the white + blackout look. Very similarly most of the trucks I found were OW, but my heart was really set on Space White. I’m really glad I held out as the color is really unique and changes with the light.
I went through and added a...
Did you ever find a solution to this? I just bought a used 2021 and everything seems to work flawlessly besides the fact that I don’t receive on screen message notifications when new messages come through. I’ve tried a bunch of settings and everything seems right…
I have a list of Major and Minor modifications that I plan to do to the truck. Because budget is a factor, my intent is to find the BEST solution at a reasonable budget for each of these options so that I can accomplish more. As I perform each upgrade I will be adding new content to explain...
The purpose of this thread is to share my truck search, purchase and upcoming build plans in hopes it helps others as they contemplate the same decisions, as well as soliciting valuable input from those who have gone before me. So thank you in advance for those who will reply, comment and ask...
I'm curious to know what you ever did to tackle the drone issue? I just bought a 2021 F150 with the 4" Race side exit dual tip, and I am really wanting to figure out a solution.
Curious what you ended up doing in the long run to tackle the drone issue? I just a bought a 2021 F150 that came with a MBRP Race exhaust and I am quite nervous about how loud it is going to be.
Looks really nice. I am looking to buy a 2021-23 F150 in the near future in space white metallic, but having a challenge finding what I want. Is yours for sale by chance ;-) ? In my searching, the only thing I don't like is the standard XLT grill... Your conversion looks really nice! I am...
Did you ever end up doing the grille swap? I love the space white metallic but the XLT grill is ugly and plastic looking. I was thinking the black gloss STX would love really great on the truck but would love to see what you did!
I have been searching far and wide (literally nationwide) for a used 2021-2023 F150 that has all the options that I want. I am honestly surprised at how challenging it has been to find what I am looking for. Knowing that this site is full of experienced daily F150 driving, I figured I would...
