It just seem to be begging for that long arm suspension kit, don't it.

Sweet man!
315/75R16 Yokohama Geolander they cost about $210.00 ea. Cheapest tire in that size I could find. But it turned out to be a great choice because I love them!! I have 5 Mickey Thompson Classic II wheels and 5 New Tires to go with it. Very quiet and comfortable.
The front end is from McNeil Racing inc. and it's a 04 F-150 conversion. They put the Raptor front end on but it was too wide so they took it off and went back to the F-150. I'll upload pics of the raptor front end in the process of being installed. The pics aren't that great but you'll get the idea.
I was wondering that too. I should have weighed it before and after. I'm calculating MPG's right now. Maybe I'll get 1/2 mpg more.
I live on 7th Ave and Bethany Home Road. You're more than welcome to look at it. I'm in Mesa every so often.
I'm thinking of H&M or Dixon Bros. front ends. The H&M has sweet upper A-arms that are made from billet aluminum. This truck would be mainly used for Chasing not prerunning. Basically my intentions is to just relay info during races. Not full support. So I'll install a race radio on convey info. This truck is way overkill for its intended purpose but you only live once. Plus I'll put my company decals on the side so it is a "head turner" so maybe somebody will call me for work. Thanks for the compliments guys. I was a little worried I would get bashed but you guy's had positive comments and I appreciate that. Hunter

I would give you my old grill and front end for free but It's all at McNeils shop and I just gave it to them. All prices are posted on thier website. They come to AZ all the time to drop off race trucks and parts so you either buy the kit from them and have it installed by a shop here or take it to them in SoCal. I chose to have them install the kit because they have done it a million times and there is fabrication, tube bending and welding involved. I don't have the equipment nor the the skills to install this properly. The front kit isn't a bolt on kit so you need some fabrication done. This whole thing with the front clip, headlights and rear glass was around $2600.00 installed. I was lucky enough to have them trailer the Expy to thier shop so I gave them some cash to haul it from Mesa to Socal. Then I drove to SoCal to pick it up but sometimes they come back with a trailer so they can bring it back for you as well. It was cheaper to have them trailer it since I would have to fly back, but you have to wait until they come to AZ and vise versa. They are very easy to deal with but they also race so be prepared to wait a month or so for it to be finished. I ordered the glass and paid for it, then they made it so when my truck got to SoCal it was ready for install. Hope this helps. - Hunter

Yeah, I'm happy I got them. They are a great price and have the look of the BF Goodrich project tires that the trophy trucks use. They have a great mileage warranty. They were also the least expensive 35" tire I could find. They are 315/75R16 at $210.00 ea. I got them at Discount. Super smooth and quiet and you can't feel every bump in the road. Very comfortable. - Hunter
