I've got all I need to get it lowered, too hot for me to install right now, maybe next weekend. I will be using Belltech front struts for 1-3" lowering and their 4" flip kit. Ideally I'll drop it ~2/4 but could go as low as 3/6. Just wanted to have the option of a 4" rear drop (which includes lift hangers +1" and lift shackles +1").

Ordered Air Design fender vents (VML3Z-16228-AA) & BAP front/rear emblems (LL3Z-9942528-B). Will update this post once I get them installed.

Picked up from @Granger Ford last weekend, 8/6. They not only honored the 3% below invoice, but also stacked $3500 in available rebates @ delivery; kind of feel like I stole it

If you live somewhere extremely hot, the fender vents are gonna disappoint.

Belltech 2/4 installed.

Measurements to top of wheel arch:
Front 36.5" before & 34.5" after = 2" drop
Rear 40" before & 36" after = 4" drop
3.5" of rake down to 1.5"

Belltech's chart for the front struts is not entirely accurate. I followed their example of using (2) 16mm rings per strut hoping for a ~1.5" drop, but after settling I've net a true 2" drop. Not really a big deal, I just haven't seen it mentioned by anyone else. I'm certainly not taking the front apart again just to raise it 1/2" The flip kit was simple enough to install and net a true 4" drop as intended (I installed Belltech 6447, which is technically for 13th gen but everything worked out fine). I also added shorter Fox 2.0s the rear.

Air Design fender vents & BAP emblems installed as well.

Looks great!
How does it ride? i have, essentially, the same suspension parts awaiting the arrival of my RCSB, so I’m curious what you think.
Thanks for the info.

That looks sharp! Pretty quick time getting it too.

I too like the looks of those wheels, can you get them in silver? I didn't see any on the site I was looking on.

Talked myself out of cutting up a perfectly good BAP grille just to fill the upper notch in.. I also looked into Tremor/BAP hoods and found out the vents are faux, so that wasn't going to happen

Instead, I picked up a Lariat grille, cut away the vertical bars and replaced it with XXL Hexagon Mesh from CCG. Really happy with how it turned out. I've got new headlights on the way so I'm waiting until those arrive to get both the grille and lights swapped out. Should look good!

Inserts removed.

Rough progress of cutting away vertical bars + the mesh I used.

Finished product w/ Agate Black painted bars & mesh fitted/attached.

Switched out the lighting all around.

AlphaRex PRO Series Alpha-Black Projector Headlights 880294 purchased from @Stage3Motorsports

OEM LED Fogs, used (2) Motorcraft pigtails (WPT-925) to complete install
*applied Lamin-X Gunsmoke film to get a better match with the AlphaBlack headlights

Full Set LED Tail Rear Lamp Taillight Assembly Compatible with 2021 2022 Ford F150
*Link to tails on Amazon

LED 3rd Brake light for Ford F150 Smoke Lens (2015-2020 F150)
*not plug-and-play for 14th gen. I reused the OEM connector, cut and spliced to new brake light

Without Lamin-X installed

Looks great, see my post about Trim Illusions door handle covers? They'd match perfectly, and they soon will have gloss black mirror caps.
Great build so far!!
