Waited over a month for the Steeda IMG_1976 (1).jpg IMG_2133.jpg springs. But WOW what a ride. Getting new tires at the same time helps but this is what the truck should ride like out of the factory.
Here's a before and today. Thanks Broken for setting me straight. IMG_2136.jpg

Nice. I just had mine done yesterday too. Love it. Ford dealer did mine. I may have paid too much but just wanted it done. $700 including the alignment. Rides awesome with the Steeda swat bar and springs. Window tinting tomorrow.

What percent tint are you going with 18%?
I believe factory is 18 to 20%.
I want to do the front 2 windows the same as the rear.

Well I haven’t decided yet. Definitely going to match the two rear ones if I only do the front. However, I was considering doing the entire vehicle in ceramic 20%. They use Llumar IRX which I have heard good things about. $400 plus to do the entire vehicle. Not sure if it’s legal to do 5% in the back which I will do if that’s the case. I wanted to do the front windshield in 70% ceramic but he won’t do windshields. Maybe I can offer him cash off the books.

Nope. Same wheels and tires. Still have plenty of clearance. Really fun to drive with the springs and sway bar. Handles great. All also have the wheel spacers as well.
