2016 Lightning Build

I strayed from the list and got these. I'm going to get some M&H 390/40 17's for them eventually.

Had it to the track last night again. They had the whole track prepped so I got to run 1/4 mile. The truck is noticeably slower with the 22's on it. It ran a 14.35 @ 97. With the stock wheels on it, it would easily be in the 13's. Not bad for a stock pickem up.

I used to have a silver single cab 09. Always wanted to lower it and get those exact wheels. Looks nice!

These wheels on a silver truck would look nasty

I fully intended to mod it, but I have a company truck now and no longer have it. I have a 15' 5.0 4 door and it moves pretty good loaded down with probably 500lbs of crap in the bed, so I could imagine how fun a single cab would be. What drop are you planning on going with?

It's a blast. I actually just ordered the Belltech 3/5.5" drop today

I got really busy with work and the Mustang but finally got back to working on the truck over the weekend. I put a factory trailer brake controller in and installed the suspension. Since everything went together at the same time, I ended up ordering the Calvert Racing traction bars and got those installed at the same time.

It was a bitch to install but I'm really happy with the results. It rides like stock but corners much better. Plus no noise and no vibrations or anything.

Looking good! Any plans for the exhaust. I know mf makes a side exit kit that looks badass. I have only seen it with the running boards but I think it would be even better without them.

Thank you. I already did the exhaust temporarily. It's a 4' cat back for now, 3" pipe with a resonator and magnaflow straight through muffler. It dumps about 12" in front of the rear axle. I checked out that side exit kit, but there's really no way to make it work for the regular cab. Once I get the turbo on it, it'll have a 4" single come out right where the magnaflow side exit does though.

Looks good. Guessing that stuff came from Summit Racing if it shipped from McDonough, GA. Eager to see how this turns out.
