    I know there is a LOT to do. It would be more of a gradual build, start off by hacking out the ifs and welding in the upper spring buckets and radius arm brackets, adding the axle and needed steering components and leave it as a 2wd solid axle until I can pick up a transfer case from another f150 (same gen) and get the right length driveshafts. I know there are a lot of other little things to work out, like wiring and a bunch of other things, but like I said, I'm still thinking haha

    But I also am considering going back to 16x8s and adding some wheel spacers, I love the stance of the 16x10s but don't like how the stretch made my tires shorter :banghead: I measured 34.8"s on my stock wheels (16x7s) and now am at 32.4"s with the 16x10s... I do not like that at all... If I were to switch I would probably go with a set of Dick Cepek DC2s, I've always loved those wheels!

    It's cuz all the obs trucks run DC2s... They're like the rockstar rim for 97-03 guys. The Addicts would looks pretty sweet

    Thanks man! I forgot to mention that if I would be getting wheel spacers for both the 16x8s or the 16x9s. I want moar stance! The only reason I want to get rid of my current wheels is because they make my tires too small... Hence going to a thinner wheel, 16x9 isn't a huge difference but I really like those addicts!

    I do too. I considered getting the fuel boosts for my truck but idk if I want them anymore. I want something simpler closer to those addicts or even a Steelie type wheel. Still can't make up my damn mind haha

    Here's a pic with a truck with 17x9 boosts
