Couple days behind, but changed oil, rotated tires, and added Ford rear wheel well liners.
5220 miles. Max tow, axle bolts still intact, lol

I’ve only had her for 5 days now, but I’ve been busy getting everything installed.
Today I put the in-channel visors on. I think I’m done for a bit, but will likely get a bed mat/rug and some Bushwacker OE style flares in the near future.
Here’s the parts list in order of install:

Husky fender liners
Ronin antenna
Lamin-x fog light film
Ikonic fender badge insert
Vinyl emblem overlays
Bulletproof bed liner
35% ceramic tint on front windows
Truxedo Sentry CT tonneau cover
Eibach Pro Truck coilovers (set at 2”)
Rear factory block removed
Icon Rebound 17x8.5 wheels
Black splined lugs
Falken Wildpeak AT3 in 285/75/17
Tinted 3rd brake light and inner clear/white section of tails
Removed active air dam and trimmed valence.
AVS in-channel visors.

When you say your Eibachs are set at 2", did you dial them down? I have the pro truck 2.0 kit waiting for me at home when I go on days off.

Couple little things today. Rough Country seat covers. Dansen (Amazon special) ditch light mounts. Some Nilights we had laying around. I highly recommend these seat covers thus far. Made the seats much more comfortable and the fit and finish is excellent for the price point. Ditch lights feel kinda silly right now, but leveling kit coming real soon!!

Did you see my post below? From the box we reduced 1/2" of preload and got exactly 2" of lift. I think that 1/2" represents about 3/4" of lift, so straight from the box more like 2 3/4" lift, which I felt was too much without upgrading UCAs.

I did see your post I was going to ask you how you like yours next haha. I should have done all this before ordering the damn thing. I spoke with Matt, the Eibach engineer, prior to ordering, and he said the UCA upgrade isn't super vital but I do plan on throwing the Icons in this spring because I drive offroad a fair bit once the snow melts.

I saw you kept some rake, so with factory settings I should be perfectly level and I might add the 1" blocks later as well.

What is involved with adjusting them while they are on the truck? I think I see where you have to do it in pictures but I haven't seen them in person yet. Is it a spanner wrench and turning the disc below the coil with the holes in it?

Just a little rake still, probably 1" difference between F & R. Honestly they haven't settled much, maybe 1/8" if that. Still love them. Firm, composed, much reduced body roll, rear end (even when empty) stays way more planted over potholes in corners on asphalt. Very happy on road. They really shine on washboard and forest/desert roads at speed though. Haven't hooned it too much and have only crawled in 4WD Low a couple of times so far, but no issues other than leaf spring pack creaking over water bars and full articulation, presumably because they're not really broken in yet. The Eibachs have been great, no regrets.

I appreciate the review! I live in the mountains and drive lots of rough logging roads and turkey trails, plus work in oilfield, so drive lots of those roads. Sounds like they were a good choice. I do drive a ton of highway too so it seems they will work well. My last truck, a GM only had the pucks in the front and blocks in the rear and it was pretty bad on rough roads for all 363,000 km I drove it, but I had unusually little wear on my front end. Just wanted something higher quality for this shiny new truck.

I'm a little nervous about ride quality with them fully cranked out but Matt said they did a ton of testing so I assume they should be fine. Plus they come from factory like that so one would assume they would work in that setting. Not overly worried about wear as I'll be changing the UCA's anyway.

Good info that they never settled out. I'm not sure how the weight compares between the ecoboost and the 5.0 and if that will make a difference.

If I remember correctly, they come set at 2” over stock, so my shop did not have to adjust them.

Tremor LED projectors and copper grille stripe. I can’t remember who did that first but I saw it on here and wanted to thank that member for the idea. It looks incredible

Installed corsa extreme dual exhaust with black tips.

Did I see that you are selling the sport version? If so, why did you change? I just installed the Corsa sport dual exit with black tips.

Got the extreme.

Installed BlackWidow Exhaust on my 21 5.0L ?.

Got rid of the “Stink Bug” look.
Last weekend I put 1” lowering shackles on
and instantly noticed a difference when I got in.
This morning, I removed the spacer blocks and replaced the bump stops with rwd stops and u bolts.
(blocks are tapered .070” front to rear on 126”wb and 157”/163” wb-mine is 163”)
Bigger difference. Truck feels a bit heavier and not so jittery in the back.

rear down 2-1/2” in the rear and up 1/2” in the front, so I’m pretty sure there is some weight transfer going on.

Maybe in the next couple of days, the “4x4” decals will disappear.

That looks so long!
