Spotlight - 1997 Ford F-150, 5" R/C Lift, 18x9, and 35's

[@lewiswilliamsjr.9997]

1997 f150 is the best ride that i was bless with. I bough it brand new and of the year 2019 i still own it and im still happy with it. I thank God for introducing the two of us

[@dcgo44r]

97-98 were the last bash type of lottery in F-150 to be available. They still were working trucks with just a new look!Starting 99 and every year after reliability came through the door while looks and comfort improved!

I have a 99 f150 4WD 5.4. And people hate on the 10th gen too much, it’s honestly grown on me in how clean they look.

Aftermarket keys are literally the biggest waste of money when you can crank your stock keys to the same preload.

[@andrewevans3294]

@@brendanmckee5843 lol OK keep buying the same thing thats on your truck already. Do some research, and you will find aftermarket keys are simply redesigned keys designed to provide increased preload while being in the same position. A t-bar crank is literally the same effect. BUying something useless, possibly 3 times, is not a sign of knowledge of the subject.

[@andrewevans3294]

There is no way to lift your front end exactly 3 inches without custom fab. You can go about 1.5-2 with your torsion keys or 4-6 with a drop bracket kit. Why you would only raise the front and not also the rear makes no sense to me; not only will you impair your angle of sight, your headlights will not be as effective for you and blinding for other passengers as they are pointing up rather than forward or down.

You shouldn’t have used Rough Country. I guarantee the customer will be back after the welds crack if he notices. Everyone that I have seen fails especially if they go off reading. It’s a major safety issue. Need to have him keep a close eye on it.
