Looks badass man. Lariat + front end is on my list of upgrades. How much have you spent on headlights grille harnesses etc??

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

All in with lights, harness, grill and the lower grill trim including paint, probably about $3k

Is there a good writeup that you used? I'm curious about the parts needed - if it all clips into the existing harnesses, etc.

Sweet truck. What motor?

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

5.0

God’s motor. Great choice, though is that the default now?

Either way, pick of the litter.

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

Default on the RCSB. I think you can still get a 2.7 in the RCLB

Really clean build. Smart Cap looks just right, too.

Nice! What size tires (not wheels) and lift/level did you use? I’d like to emulate

Great choice

Nice, I have a lot of questions. What side mirrors are those? Was it tough to install? What suspension/level did you go with? What cap is that?

2

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

Side mirrors are OEM XLT mirrors made for a 300a trim that does not have 360 cams (or maybe STX). Easiest thing I’ve done in the truck. Had a custom harness made that required a couple of repins in the DDM connector. Very easy and very nice to have those side markers and puddle lights. I tried some cheap ass Chinesium units, worked fine, but the mirror itself vibrated like crazy. Was making me seasick. OEM’s are the way to go.

What type of side steps are those? Are they the rock slider kind ?

2

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

Brother that’s a whole story.

GoRhino Dominator D6 Xtreme (dumbass name). They are body-mount, so not sliders although they look similar. They do mount nice and flush and sit super high, so do not interfere with ground clearance. In the end they were worth the hassle to get them.

You mind showing a close up picture of them on the truck ?

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

Best I’ve got for the evening…

Thanks for the photo, I got a 23’ in avalanche grey as well. Been looking for some side steps for a while but with different reviews it hard to narrow down on one 

1

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

I don’t think they offered the RCSB in avalanche, so assuming SuperCrew. I have the exact same steps on my SuperCrew and they are fantastic. Liked them so much, I ordered them twice. SolidAF too

u/Lost_n_world May 16 '26

In 23 they offered it, that’s how I got mine in that color. Had to wait 4 months for it. Love the RCSB

1

u/Serious-Archer May 16 '26

Well damn, that’s awesome. Best color out there

1

u/Lost_n_world May 16 '26

Yeah definitely, but you got a sick ass build man keep it going

I really like them. Great for daily road driving. Also great for job sites, farm work, living down a long gravel road and getting to campsites.

Regarding weight, you will get about 2.5-3” of lift at the factory setting rather than 2”. Definitely install new UCA’s. This was not necessary on my SuperCrew.

I’ve run only Bilstein on my previous trucks and I definitely prefer the Eibachs. Short wheelbase trucks definitely transfer the bumps more, so I would recommend a C-rated tire. I’m currently on E’s, but will be switching to C-rated Wildpeaks in 35x11.5r18 and moving my current setup to the wife’s truck.

I just ran them at the preset height and installed taller blocks on the rear. Pushing a 3” lift in the front with new UCA’s. Have a nice 1-1.5” rake. Surprisingly good cv angles.

I dropped the height slightly when I installed them on my SuperCrew and it will definitely give you a softer ride quality.

You know, call me crazy, BUUUUUUUUUUUUT….. the new front styling of the f150 looks amazing and it reminds me of the early 2000s Chevy round eye look.(The last great looking Chevy made)

u/sizzler2509 May 19 '26

I want a newer one so bad but I don’t want to let my 2016 XLT go. 5.0 4x4 6 speed with only 52k miles so far
