You drive it down the street yet? I'm really curious to hear how the Zone lift rides......and you are gonna love those Grabbers

I don't even have the rear blocks and shocks on yet. The steering wheel is still crooked too. I will take it out tomorrow just for you though, gay bulldog stance and all, before I start working on the rear.

My tie rods ends came in today I want to get them on and an alignment done before I get the tires on. They should be here Tuesday unless Fedex messes something up.

I hope I like these grabbers. They need to last me a couple of years.

I took it for a ride this morning. Grabbed my coffee in a normal mug and headed for the worst road I travel daily. This is the main road I go up and down to get to and from school. This road is so bad its the reason I sold my shorty. I swear I almost lost some teeth from bumps in that road. I was able to drink my coffee and cruise right down this street. I haven't driven this truck much in the last few months, so I might not remember how rough it rode. Lately I have been driving a 2wd 02 F150 and a 2012 Chevy 2500 4wd usually towing a 32' bumper pull. With those two trucks to compare to I would say the Zone lift rides pretty good. I did put on the cheapest shocks it came with knowing I would upgrade later, so there is room for improvement. It's definitely not worse than it was, so I am very happy.

Gotta admit, I thought the 17" wheels would look too small. But turned out nice.

Looks good!

Thanks!

The more I think about it....the more I like my gold wheels idea...just sayin

Ummm, no. After I get bumpers I will take care of the gold. But it is starting to grow on me though.

DAMN that turned out great.

Thanks.

I think the red lettering swallows up the gap. Other tires might have had a different look. I was catching a lot of heat for it but I liked the way it looked on Matt's truck.

Wow...

I am pretty happy with the way it turned out so far.

I don't think the gold looks as bad with the new wheels.

Truck looks good.

Thanks. I never liked it until today. Its starting to grow on me now. It kinda provides a nice contrast between the black wheels and black truck.
