welcome to the site...i would advise against the throttle body space unless youre changing the ecu settings...if not the ecu controls the air/fuel ratio regardless of how much air you try to induct to it...actually...the space doesnt induce any air...so ur just extending air travel...there's a very long thread on this very topic...but its ur truck

Thank you BIG GREEN for pointing me in the direction of the Gotts mod. I completed it. My expi sounds almost like a truck lol. I got a K&N factory replacement filter to go with the mod. Next is get rid of some unnecessary trim and then picture time. Is there any particular 16 or 18 in. Ford wheels I can look for to get rid of my 17's? Will 16's clear my braking components so then that way I can run like a 33x10.5 at tire?

How much money are you looking to spend? I got a SCT tuner with some custom tunes and it made mine run like it should from the factory. I also put a catback on. You have more options for a cat back exhaust with the solid rear axle. Do you have air bags or coils for suspension?

By the way. I live just south of you in Paradise hills.

16s will fit just fine. They are harder to find as well. I stayed with my stock 17s and I'm running 35x12.5x17 = 315/70/r17

I found 5 spoke 17inch f150 wheels I will probably be putting onto the rig. I will most likely be wrapping them with 33x10. bfg all terrain ta/ko right now I am looking into torsion key kit for my front and lift blocks for my rear and give it like a 3in all around lift.
