I like my new (used but new to me lol) F150 Lariat, '02 90k miles on it for 10k. It will be used purely for business so I will end up getting it commercial tagged so technically isnt mine its the LLC's but I own the LLC...

I like my new Hotchkis rear sway bar and endlinks. I really dislike having a dual exhaust sometimes though. The Specialty-X catback is a PIA, had to remove both sides to get the bar in. The backend is so easy to get to step out now. Should have been one of my first mods. Next time I will ONLY upgrade suspension first and go-fast crap later.

First thing you'll do is intake, exhaust and a tune. It's inevitable. Don't try to resist. Mainly because it's instant gratification for a reasonable price.

Good suspension is expensive. Plus you need good wheels and tires to complete the handling package.

I like my Progress Sport Spring, no more SUV wannabe. I just wonder why nobody used them.

I considered them, data was just limited so I went with the proven setup for a little more money instead. The people who have them really seem to say great things though.

See, now you started the downward mod spiral...

Now you gotta fix the wheel offset, the wheel offset with the widebody looks like a 2000 Camaro. The drop is very nice though, looks good!

Yeah, no doubt! I think my wheel/tire/suspension package right now is around $7k. My next coils alone will be in the ballpark of $6k, that is if I am able to keep my car.

Either a set of custom AST's setup by Vorshlag, custom Ohlin's but what I would really like to have are the JRZ 3-way's they are in the $9k ballpark though. I am looking for the 3-way adjustable variants with remote front and rear reservoirs.

I am not interested in a new turbo, unless mine dies, even then I will put a stocker back in. I wouldn't even consider an upgraded turbo without building the engine first.
