    Dylan that sqeeking noise you hear is the lower ball joints, my buddy did his right before he got his f350.

    You need to creep on the raptor forum and pick up a front end from those guys. They sell the lowers/uppers/tierods fairly regularly

    :hmm:


    i should make a meme about me. "Maintenance>Mods, buys more mods instead of sparkplugs" DAMNIT i did it again. oh well this one is functional. Bought me an Amp Research bed extender to solve my yak problems even though i said i wouldn't buy anything. I tend to lie to myself alot if you guys haven't noticed. Found 3 used bed extenders on craigslist but just my luck i text all 3 guys and no replies from either so i went to 4wp and went new :facepalm: :whymewhyme:

    started installing and just my luck again it starts pouring. oh well i got the hard part out of the way which is measuring and drilling holes for the mounts. gotsa go to work on this lovely rainy saturday. will finish install at 11pm when i get off

    That BedXTenderHD looks like a great addition.
    It's just another install accomplishment
    working you up to the sparkplug swap.

    I do remember you saying, after some front end work or something that you're done modding your truck for now, then a few weeks later.. BAM! Lift kit. I guess "for now" has a broad definition.

    Got it all installed. For a little bed extender it was a b*tch to put together. The yak still sticks out quite a bit but not as bad as sitting on the top of the tailgate and it's a little lower. I kinda regret getting a 12ft. Now haha
