Post Banks F-250

Hey guys does anyone know where the related article of this truck is? I really would like to know because I want the same lowering kit and wheels/tires (I want the exact tire size and everything) for my F-250. If anyone could help please do!

It wasn't lowered at all...stock height with 20X10 wheels and 305/50/20 tires.

As bad as I hate to say it...that truck was the reason I bought my current truck. Mine's better though.

Did you lower yours? I really dig that truck man! Is yours 4WD? Mine is and thats why I need the lowering kit. Mines bone stock right now but I'm planning a lot for it this summer.http://www.competitiondiesel.com/for.../thankyou2.gif

MIne is lowered 3/6 on 22's.

If yours is 4WD...you're pretty much limited to lowering the back only. You can do that for free by pulling out the factory lift block in the back. If you wanna lower it a bit more after that just get a set of drop shackles for ~50 bucks.

Mine is a 2wd as was that Banks truck.

Do you know what kind of wheels and tires are on it? And you seem pretty knowledgable on all this stuff so I'm gonna put an MBRP 4" exhaust, AEM Brute Force Intake, and a Hypertech Programmer on my 2003 Ford F-250 6.0 Powerstroke. How much HP/Torque do you estimate I'll be putting out?

Welcome to CompD and good luck with the truck!
Where exactly on the site can I find the custom tuned one? I found the SCT programmer, but I don't see where it says it's custom tuned. And on the SCT, can I change levels on the fly? Because the Hypertech I was looking at had a knob that you mounted on your dash that let you change settings.

SCT will give you more options and can be adjusted for future mods. That being said I have a Hypertech PTM that I had on a manual tranny 6.0 and it worked very well and I cannot say anything bad about it. It was nice to adjust power on the fly, and it also yielded the best mileage out of the 6.0's I've owned.

If your name is any indication of the home computer you have, SCT will not work on a mac. You might be able to emulate, but just so you know.

My Truck

http://www.flickr.com/photos/37896371@N06/3483728297/ This is my truck. It's bone stock right now, so if anyone has any ideas on wheels and tires (cannot be lifted, but can be lowered, pending I have to haul a gooseneck trailer; and yes if i could, i would lift it!) and paint jobs for this truck please post your pics and posts! Thanks!
