2022 Black Pack 5.0 Build

Just my opinion: Trucks shouldn't have bicycle tires and be lowered. Looks ridiculous.

You could also make the argument they aren’t supposed to be lifted with wide tires either.

I agree. Keep it stock. The way it was intended.

That's cool. I think it looks awesome.

Again, no disrespect meant at all. You do you.

I've always had a thing and built/owned sport trucks.

A change of the times; 90s/00s were the sport truck/street truck days with the Typhoon, Lightning, SRT10, 454SS, Silverado SS etc and now it's all lift/off road when 90% of the trucks don't leave the pavement!

Actually that’s how I prefer it lol. I don’t like the lift kits or the lowering. But I can certainly appreciate a tasteful setup

Got the Raptor style 20s with Michelin X-Ice mounted today. Expedition rear axle studs are longer than F-150 hence why the rear caps are off. Picked these up like new for nearly half the cost from a guy who traded in his F150.
Some Expedition folk grind down the axle stud or install 10mm hubcentric spacer. I'm going to leave it for now.

I may change my wheels more than I change my boxers.
Swapped back to the FP 22" wheels for my winter set-up with dedicated winter rubber.
Have someone grabbing the 22" Limited Polished for their truck.

Must be nice rolling on those as your winter set up. Looks good.

Beautiful truck, great job!

Grabbed a set of these in 22" for the Spring. Will deal with tires at that time, likely 285/40r22.

 

[MJG44]

Wheel porn.

Now tracking down Nitto in 285/40 seems to be a challenge.

 

[Graygoose2021]

Yea, my buddy that works at Nitto said the truck wheels have been main focus for last 1.5 years. But find some 420V, you'll like em

Decided to change out the BAP front grille. Ordered a paint to match STX grille. Once it arrives, I'll send it off to paint for straight gloss black to keep true to the BAP package. Should look good with the hood and get rid of the straight bar grille. Will post pics whenever I get around to swapping it.

The hood for the BAP models is different from the non-BAP hood. I do not think that the non-BAP grille will fit your with your hood. Your hood is a straight line from fender to fender above the grille, while non-BAP truck hoods have a raised relief in the center to accomodate the taller non-BAP grilles. Before you paint that, you may want to confirm fit.

Dealer and bodyshop guy says it won't fit but from this thread and a few other reads, small modification should work.

Have it painted and waiting for warmer weather to do the swap.
