Took the wife out for a last minute overnight camping trip. Truck did great, though ******** me forgot to loctite the calipers when I did my full brake replacement andi lost a bolt from all the rattling, drive into the in-laws parking lot to pick up my daughter then couldn't reverse. What are the odds.

Btw 3" body lift is in the mail... Getting excited.

I have 1" billet aluminum wheel adapters going from 5x135 to dodge 5x5.5.

After that, I'm now running my 37's on the standard Fuel Throttle 20x12 wheels. No extra backspacing was needed.

And I just finished adding Long Tube headers to it this morning.

Holy $h!t am I impressed with the sound as well as the increased performance.

I've seen a shit ton of adapters out there, but none that were hub centric. I'd love to go to a 8x165 and toss the 16.5's I have for my old truck and some 37" militaries.

What brand did you pick up?

How'd that body lift go I was thinking of doing one on my 06 but I'm nervous about the trailer hitch and steering

Wheel Hub adapters I bought off eBay about 8 years ago. No clue from who. Sorry.

As far as my lift, I covered that in a previous comment. I'm not exactly but it was probably 3 weeks ago-ish.

The trailer hitch solution is in a previous comment as well.

Ok saw it, and how about the steering? Buddies of mine have had issues with major binding after the 3"

The long tube headers bolted right up.

PaceSetter LongTube Headers with gaskets and O2 sensor wire extensions were only $449.

On their website, they only have headers listed for the 97-03 F-150 4wd & 2wd. No mention of fitting 98-02 Expedions. Knowing the similarities in chassis, motor, and Suspension, I pulled the trigger and I couldn't be happier with that decision.

New stainless 3" pipe "y"d into new single 3" in single 3" out muffler with no tail pipe.

I've NEVER had an issue with steering whatsoever. Not sure what the exact issues they had were.
Ok thanks, I'm only planning on a 1.5 for mine so I may avoid some of that anyways
