San Antonio

I need to research different setups I saw they make a helper spring that's supposed to add extra 500lb weight capacity I think the payload on a f150 xl is 750 lbs

 

I'm sure there is something out there for them, never looked them up for that type of truck.

 

The o.e setup on this truck is weak 3 leafs not even an overload leaf

 

You have just a xl 150? They were never really intended to do a bunch of work.

 

Sad thing is supposed to be full size and my taco came with more leafs and payload it's a mid size truck

 

Yea it's fleet model xl didn't come with a radio either just a clock lol and no cruise control

 

Now, a little lift, some bumpers.....

 

But my step dad got a good deal on it it's an 01 model he got it in 2006 with 32k miles only payed 750 bucks it was used on the military base to deliver mail they upgraded there fleet with newer models

 

Gas mileage man i need to keep it at 16mpg

 

Yep, just an abuse truck.

 

Correction, he stole that thing

 

I actually like the rubber floor and vynl clean I wash inside and out at the car wash at the same time lol

 

There is that

 

But I'm dreading the next repair on it the front end needs new tie rod ends ball joints and the jew tube videos I've been watching looks like pain in the ass

 

Its a ford....

It will get done

 

My neighbor has a 99 xlt he took it to a shop to get it done cost him 1200 dollars

 

Labor is the issue, not cost of the parts.

 

But everything is pressed in and is stubborn need those special tools

 

I can do what I did on my taco but new uppers and lowers with ball joints installed already but there expensive on f150
