My F150 build thread

Well the 6 inches of lift will be to accommodate for the -44 offset of the wheels.. (sticks out about 5 inches past stock.)

Oh, lord. Better stock up on balljoints now.

Looking good. I love my F-150. First pickup for me so I haven't done much to it yet but I have the itch to mod anything I own so I know the feeling.

Yeah man... first pickup for me too. I want it to be a truck version of my mustang, white and black theme. I really need to get a CAI, exhaust, and tune. I heard it really wakes up the ecoboost motor.

Those things will wake the ecoboost up. Be sure you look into aftermarket blow off valves. I would also look at downpipes as part of your exhaust and maybe even a catch can. Do a little research....I think the 2011 had some moisture issues with the turbos & intercoolers. It was resolved at some point and I think the issue was primarily with the earlier 2011's. Not 100% sure on that though.

Will do. I read that too. I'll check my build date. Also I heard it's important to change the oil in these on time, more so than normal cars.

I think that's true, particularly without a catch can. I leased a 2011 and am now leasing a 2014. Next one I'll buy and play with after the warranty, but for now it's stock and I change the oil every 5,000.

There's some crazy things you can do to the exhaust on these things.

[robbennett]

These trucks sound beast with CAI exhaust and tune, a lot like a diesel! It's the first thing that I'm gonna do when the warranty expires

[wakesetter8796]

My warranty just ran out lmao

Look into Livernois and Corsa. Both have some awesome exhausts as well.

Corsa is the shizzle. Not cheap though haha!

With an aftermarket HID kit without projectors and 6" lift, you're going to be the most hated man on the road at night time...

[Pnwrider]

Do the HIDs right regardless of lift. Install the projector kit as referenced by uwskier. Otherwise you're going to blind oncoming traffic.

Yeah Yeah I know haha. I just don't wanna drop $1k in custom made projectors or OEM ones. Rather put that towards someting else.

Then just put some silverstar bulbs in and spare everyone else the blinding light.

[wakesetter8796]

Not a fan of those.
