Hi all…. We ordered her seven months and one day ago from Granger motors Ford dealer in Granger Iowa. She arrived at the dealer this last Tuesday and we (loving wife and I)picked her up Thursday afternoon. We live in Hawthorne California, which is right next to LAX airport. About a 25 hour drive and or 1,700 mile trip. 3 eight hour days of driving with totally Bitchin sight seeing all the way home! Nebraska farmlands, Colorado Rockies and way beyond beautiful Utah mountains through at least six states. Anyhow, Da goal…. Something like a 3 1/2 inch coil over of good to above quality with upper arms and not sure what size tires and 17 inch wheels. Thanks all!…………………………………………………..…………………….. *******Update : THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!! For the super welcome and beyond kind words on our new ride. This group is REALLY something else. Cool, calm and collect bunch of folks. You guys are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you again!

Thank you. I have a lot of questions about a coil over and the upper arm at about 3 1/2 inch of lift. More than a few choices out there, lol. But before I ask any questions, I’m going to do a lot of reading up on the lift posts first.

Very nice Robert - that should be a great drive home. I can’t think of a more enjoyable way to get those break-in miles taken care of. Safe travels.

Welcome and congratulations. Very sharp looking. Love the color. Only problem I have with the black-out package is the body color bumpers and wheel well trim. I like my sport package with magnetic bumpers and wheel wells. But, that's me. Now just get rid of those chrome two piece lugnuts. I'm sure you'll get plenty of help here with all the other mods.

I’m with you on that dark trim around the wheel wells…. I really like the dark trim because it gives the appearance of more clearance in the wheel well.
