I like the fact you keep the undercarraige clean too. I see so many "nice" vehicles, but then the underside looks like a##

Looks great!

 

[FleeMan]

Very nice. If you ever decide to go any lower then that, in the rear or the front, its going to be harsh 95% of the time.

got about 1 3/4" in front and about 2" in rear. It doesnt hit the bump stops doesnt bounce , none of that kind of crap. It does handle like a race car , you can push and it will give some G FORCE gotta' luv that. this is what ford should have given us . SITS 17.5" from lip of fender to center cap of wheels all the way around . Those are JDM pipes on my truck

Looks nice man.

I envy your blinging exhaust tips. I can NOT get the soot off my magnaflows to save my life. It won't polish out. The previous owner must not had been as anal as I am about keeping them clean, ah well. Truck looks good man.

I too am very anal about the pipes, have you tried the small Mothers polishing ball. Then use some of the cheap turtle wax rubbing compound, you know the kind that is so abrasive, if you used it on your paint it would scratch hell out of it. I have used it . It will make the inside of your pipes shine like new. The inside of the JDM pipes comes with a sort of a honed finish to start with, looks good.

Very nice ride bro. Love the wheels. What kinda exhaust do you have by the way?

Also try one of those flap sanding wheels in a drill, works for me.
The one I have is about 3"dia. and about 120 grit. I only use it about once a month and looks like new.

I have used the sanding wheels also and it will work perfectly , put a real honed look inside the pipe
