Thanks, and you need to. I love Fords and something that meaningful needs to be restored and maintained. And sorry to hear about your dad and friend.

Ok I have 3 questions:
1) I want to install some OEM tow hooks and a valence with holes for the tow hooks. I know the valence will fit no problem but I was wondering if I would need to drill holes to install the tow hooks or if the holes already exist?

2) I want to lift it up some (2" all around) and I was wondering if 235/75r15 ATs would look too small?

3) Can I use helper springs and rear blocks together or will the helper springs add lift? and what length shocks do I need in the back with the block?

Thanks in advance and sorry about all the questions at one time.

For question 2, you can fit 31's without a lift at all, so I definitly would not run 235/75's I think they would look tiny.

I have ran 33's on a 1/2 ton before, my speedo wasn't that bad off, and it looked great!
