what year of body lift did you use...ive called the local shops and theres nothing listed for an 07, did you just get one that was listed to 05 and it all worked out?

I like the way you two toned it, it kinda reminds of an old 70s Boss Mustang. Looks cool and professionally done.

thanks man, the rocker area is stock with the DSG on the newer fx4's, the hood i had done when they re-assembled my truck after my accident in december, cost me like 300$ i think it was...

nah, they don't make them... i used the pa-883 kit, it's designed for a 98-2000 ranger, the difference between the 883 and 70033 kit (2001-2005) is about 30$ and the e-brake extension bracket, which, i am told, most people don't use, i didn't bother making one for mine, and still have my e-brake mounted in the stock location. my friend and i just lifted his 02 sport trac, and he for sure needed the extension... not sure if i should have used one on mine, it looks fine...

check out bodyliftkit.net they seem to be the cheapest place to find lifts (i'm not afilliated, just found good prices there) however i had a local shop beat their price (with shipping) by $20 so i bought local

make sure you get the shifter extension if you have a manual!

so the bumper brackets and steering extension are the same basically from 98 and up?

delayed reaction: yes sir they are identical! the only thing that didn't work with my kit was the fuel extension, i had to get a piece of pipe from a "friend" who did his 07

not too bad for only owning the truck for 14 months, and it still being under warranty, eh?

what gears? auto or man? and if man how is the driving with 33s i want some for my 03 and i have 410s and its kinda sluggish with 265s

 

[--weezl--]

33"s aren't a whole lot different than driving with my 31x10.5's to be honest with you, not as smooth, more road noise, and one of my rims (not sure which one) i think has a small flat spot on it, but they are great, i have a 4L sohc, manual trans, and 4.10 torsen rear, it cruises nicely down the hiway, and what's great, is my speedo is almost perfectly accurate with these tires (with my 31's, my speedo reads over by about 7%, the 33"s i think it's under by about 4%) which means at 50 mph on the guage, i'm actually doing 52... 2% is much more noticeable when you use km also

 

[--weezl--]

got a new one... finally have a remote starter in the truck, works well

 

[--weezl--]

new mod tomorrow, won't give any more details than this youtube clip...

 

[hoosier1104]

Nice. I had to tint mine a little bc I had people saying they were blinding them. Plus I wanted to match my third brake light. I think they look good though. Keep up the good work.

 

[CountryBoy78]

Looks goods I like the paint scheme. Did you fix or found what that noise was when you start your truck? Was it the starter?

 

[COPPERHEAD85]

Nice Ride!
Blue and silver look great.

 

[bilzy7]

ughhh... i hate my hood. im hoping someday to figure out wtf im doing with it but yours looks awesome with the two-tone paint. gives it a good look without painting whole hood. like the lights too.
So the middle indent of hood is blue like rest of truck correct? color blind so not always easy for me to distinguish colors lol.
