I purchased a white 2010 Crew Cab F150 back in 2014 and immediately installed a leveling kit and my Method Race Wheels. I realized that one day I would build my truck up but since I was a student, it was not financially feasible then. After the stock tires wore out, I upgraded to some 285/70/17 cooper all terrains. I also did a few other subtle modifications, tint, speakers, electric cutout exhaust, led bar in the bumper, tonneau cover, bed mounted spare with 3 ton aluminum floor jack.
Fast forward to January 2017, I drove to California to pick up my Fiberwerx front fenders and rear bedsides and then installed them in early February. Once taxes came back I bought Raptor upper control arms, lower control arms, and tie rods from Walter at Aftermarket HQ and then I bought Raptor coilovers from Valley Spring Service here in AZ with less than 200 original miles on them. I did the front suspension swap on March 19th with the help of a friend. And then on my way home after the swap, I got a gash in the sidewall of one of my tires. So the next day, March 20th, I bought 35" BF Goodrich all terrains. This is how my truck currently sits.
My current plan is to upgrade my rear shocks, probably with some Raptor takeoffs., and just put some miles on the truck, on road and off road. This summer I plan on going camping and kayaking a lot up north to get out of the AZ heat.

Welcome to the site... Enjoy the ride...

Welcome to FRF.

Thanks guys! The new ride is definitely a huge improvement over stock!

I love the fact you didn't try to make it look like a raptor. The world needs more people like you sir.

Thank you! I love the Raptor but I also like knowing the fact that I kept my F150 as an F150 and didn't turn it into a Raptor. I sometimes pit for Camburg so I needed to make my truck more capable, and then I needed to make it more capable for all of my adventures like camping, hiking and kayaking

Looks good! I've got stock shocks from my 2012, that I don't have anymore, that I'd sell you. One of the rear shocks may be a little beat up so you'd have to get it checked out. They only have about 10k or less miles. I wouldn't charge much. PM me if interested.
