Mod ideas for 2010 F150

[Matt_]

My buddy just picked up a used 2010 F150 extended cab 4.8L.

First thing he want to do to it is a leveling kit and wheels/tires. What's the "go to" leveling kit for the F150s? Not looking for anything expensive. ... basically just a spacer kit.

He also want to put a light bar on the front. Any recommendations for that would be great. I was thinking NFab but wasn't sure if there's more aftermarket options for these trucks. Fyi he has 8" Hella lights already.

Man I don't know anything about the Ford setup. We'll keep this bumped until we wake up some Ford doods.

Autospring is the most popular one for the 04-08 I'm pretty sure that those will work on the 09+

They are all metal is the biggest benefit and they are easy to install

Smittybilt bars are very good bars (one that I want) Tuna Slayer has both of these mods on his truck

EDIT: Here is Tunaslayer's Truck

Jeff pretty much hit it right on the head...

I've also heard of a lot of guys using "Hell Bent Steel" leveling kits for the 04-08 but I would imagine they make them for 09+

Awesome guys... thanks. I sent him a picture of slayers truck and he really likes the setup!

You can get the smittybuilt one for around $120 shipping I believe.

Just make sure he checks the specs very carefully bud. The 2009's up get more lift with less of a kit than 04-08 IIRC. Even 06+ I think got the same level with a 2" kit and a 04-05 with a 2.%" kit

Ps there's no 4.8L... That's for those crappy GM rigs
