Got out last weekend and gave it a bath! Then I got the old air gate back out and put it on..
I had to replace the cheap ebay third brake light (lesson learned the hard way) with a recon third brake light several months ago due to the cheap light falling a part and letting water into the cab.. You can see the new one in the above pic...
A few weeks ago I put on the K&N air intake! Not a big noticeable gain in power but it sounds like its got a big Holley on it now cause you can really hear it sucking when you put your foot into it..

Mine's 16! I didn't have the cash to purchase both wheels and tires so I purchased the tires to fit the factory wheels and then when I bought the wheels I had to get them to fit the new tires.... lol When I bought the truck it had baby tires on it and they had to go fast....

Added a little Rough Country to my Super Duty earlier today!
Added their 2.5 inch leveling kit.. Seeing they don't offer a kit for the early 99 I did a little research and found out the only difference was the track bar bolts on the newer models were bigger so I purchased a driver side track bar mounting bracket off a 2000 model (bolted right up) along with both bolts from the local scrap yard and while installing the kit I installed this bracket and drilled the hole on the passenger side to match so it works fine..
went from 39.5 inches from the front fender to the floor to right at 43 inches to the floor.. I'll try to get some more pics tomorrow..

I bought mine in tompkinsville a year and a half ago but I heard tires have sky rocketed over the last year. I am dreading buying the next set.

Brother you have NO Idea if you haven't checked as of late!
best price Lisa has found so far is close to $900 after taxs & mounting...etc! And that's a 50k No thrills off brand tire, I haven't looked yet,...... due to not having a Teardrop proof Keyboard! LMAO!
all BS aside, Rubber has went up quite a bit and whatever the cost we just got to pony up & pay to play, shoot I checked on another set of Big Horns to buy before they go up even higher and their around $600+, my last set 2 years ago was $296 with Free shipping!
