Well, we're off to a good start. Given the refinement we put into each kit, we purchase the new platforms when they come out to ensure we get the necessary seat time to complete the R&D of our 2.5" Leveling systems all the way to our Off-Road oriented 4.5" Systems.
That said, here's our 2017 F250 the day we picked her up!
First thing's first, see where she's at alignment wise. I must say, I'm impressed. It seems Ford FINALLY realized 1° of positive caster will not cut it on this platform. This caster reading shows, the front end is tight and responsive. There's still a bit of wander in stock form but we'll see if that's just the front end wearing itself in or a biproduct of the "adaptive" steering most of these trucks are now equipped.
We've got a lot of work ahead of us but we love being kept on our toes. We've completed the tuning of the 2.5" leveling kit, Commuter, Backcountry and Pintop Systems and have moved from the add-a-packs to Full Progressive leaf springs on the 2.5" Pintop. We installed my 37x13.5" tires on American Force Wheels to confirm fitment before ordering our wheels/tires.

Currently, we're working through all the incidentals. Track bar, bump drops, brake lines, etc. We'll update this thread as the R&D Process continues!
