    Haha! The top one is. The red one is just what I would like it to end up looking like, minus an inch or so. It’ll happen soon. It’ll just be black, not red.

    Who makes this camper shell it fits perfectly. Mine is supposedly for a reg cab but still looks too curved near the cab

    Out with the old, in with the new. I hope I don't have to do that again anytime soon.... 0BB467DA-AC2A-4FAF-AEA5-979EAFA37AA8.jpgF8D2F9CD-30F7-4BCD-9381-B6726BBDB347.jpg B13EE642-FBF7-44F8-AC6F-2DB3B1AA034E.jpg8025A03E-A9FF-455E-89FE-716E3927E8FC.jpg 3D9C4E73-67F9-4F0E-AAA1-689AD40A952F.jpg2E0A2EEF-5D3D-4986-BA89-58AD8C4997E4.jpg 0F98A375-E190-445A-BE63-2DECE1B2F92D.jpg

    That's the way it should have been from the factory! Looks good.

    How does it ride? Also, is it a true 2"? Looks like more due to the low weight of the single cab and the fact that they haven't settled.

    It rides amazing actually. I was worried about how stiff it would be, but it’s pretty close to a stock ride, but just better. Kind of hard to explain. It definitely went up more than 2” I’m assuming because it’s the 4 cylinder, but I didn’t actually measure anything before and after. I just got an alignment and I guess I didn’t square the rear axle properly. Now that I look at it, the whole axle seems shifted towards the passenger side a smidge. I’ll post a pic of the alignment paperwork. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Awesome! Thanks, I couldn't find any info on the spring rate on those coils, I know most aftermarket coils are made for more weight than the 4cyl. I don't know about the alignment but I'm sure someone else will!

    You definitely won’t be disappointed with the headstrong coils and 5100 combo.

    Hopefully soon...Since I dropped my phone off a Gator yesterday, my priorities are: Fix phone screen, new tires for inspection, Register and make road-ready my F-150, pay down my credit card, and THEN maybe lift the Taco...

    Also, your truck looks amazing. Exactly how I want mine to look.

    Thanks! Let me know if there’s anything else you want to know. I put medium Dakars and B110’s in the back.

    Not sure yet. Maybe some decent wheels, but probably not too much beyond that. I don’t plan on going crazy or anything. This is still my daily driver, and I like the look of a single cab just the way they are.

    if you like the factory look a slimline front bumper might be for you then (if you ever plan to use the truck offroad and want a winch)

    Southern Style Offroad makes one that looks clean. No idea how they actually are, but I love the looks. Relentless Fab makes one I think, and US Offroad too
