07powerstroke truck re-build!

[Txpsd]

Well I received my new front bumper in primer. Tomorrow my wheels and tires will finally be here and i will start taking the lift out and cleaning/painting my stock springs and brackety to go back into the truck. It will be around another 2 weeks before I receive my 3 link and traction bars.

Just curious where you got your new front bumper from?

 

[07_powerstroke]

I got it from rockauto.com

Where u get the shocks and how much. We had the same lift before and i lowered mine yo a leveling kit. Makes the truck so much more useful.

Shocks were from rockauto.com as well I believe they were around $130 shipped! Cool I am still wondering if i am making the right choice... I'm starting to take the lift out right now

 

[07_powerstroke]

Tire and wheels arrived

I might run these wheels with out the center caps the quality is pretty suck but the wheels seem to be pretty good.

 

[ford rules]

Nice!! What size tire again?

 

[B.Warning]

I'd run the rear center caps and keep the front open for your hubs. Those caps look better than the sh!tty looking caps that fuel has on there rims.

 

[MINK]

I wasnt gonna run the centers on mine but they really make the wheel when its all mounted up.

Tire size is 305/50/20 they are stretched but not to bad if I don't like them I am going with a Mickey atz in a 33 12.50 20. I think these are even worse than my old fuel caps if that is even possible! For the front I'll have to cut out the centers to be able to get to my hubs if i run them mink.

Got most of the lift out today. I'm not looking forward to taking the t case indexing ring out.

Just ordered some recon cab lights and third brake light from holderdown!

 

[07_powerstroke]

I just bought a black low profile tool box now I just need to figure out how to get my stack the it. I was think on buying a 8in aluminum pipe and basically sleeving the stack and having two doors. Not really sure how to seal the doors up afterward.

More parts to the list Firestone ride rite air bags 2550 bolt on kit that goes between the frame rail and axle so you can run a fifth wheel if needed. My plan is the remove the thick bottom over load spring and run low psi in the bags hoping it ride better than stock.

Done yet! We need pics! Lol, truck is going to look sick when done. In for updates.

 

[07_powerstroke]

The truck is on blocks waiting for a pmf 3 link and traction bars. So there isn't to much I can do until I get that I have my stock suspension parts cleaned and painted.

 

[07_powerstroke]

Air bag kit arrived the brackets are alot better than I expected

 

[jonnysteals]

Did you ever put the shocks on. I need new shocks. Did they work with yhe leveling kit

 

[07_powerstroke]

No I haven't yet I'm waiting on my 3 link and t bars so my truck is on blocks yet... and if i feel they are to short I'll just buy or make a 2 in spacer they are $20

 

[jonnysteals]

ok thanks. I guess I am going to order them and give them a shot. They are cheap enough to try out
