‘15 Lariat FX4 SCrew 3.5 Rejuvenation

[Deceptive]

I am in the process of finding a gas sipper for my wife and will be parking the F150 when that happens. Once I pick up something I will be going through the truck, cleaning it, detail, etc…

In addition to the detail and cleaning, I plan to do some upgrades and such.

Currently the truck has NFab step bars, a resonator delete, tint, K&N drop in, Husky Liners, Husky storage under the rear seat, Kicker 8” sub, and Truxedo Truxsport cover.

The cover is getting aged and will need to be replaced soon. The Sync2 sucks dick. The tint is faded.

Plan is to replace the tint and bed cover along with Sync3 upgrade.

I have no desire to tune the truck, lift it, and I like the wheels.

What else should I do? It currently has 89k miles on it.

Only other current ideas are 36 gallon tank upgrade and headlights.


EVs are for people that prefer flesh lights over vagene.

I'm looking to do the same thing soon, but with a 5.0 truck. I'll be watchin the progress of yours.

If you're still on factory shocks, change them out for the Bilstein 4600's. 4600's are meant for factory height / no lift, they offer the same valving as the 5100's which are commonly used for front leveling.

Truck will be a lot more compliant over big dips in the road, won't bob around as much.

Speaking of headlights, I put Morimoto "hybrid" LED headlights in a 2019 XLT that had halogens. Very happy with the performance, I need to go back and manually adjust the high beams up higher though. I didn't know these had a separate adjustment and out of the box they are super low.

I wanted something that looked similar to factory without having to deal with wiring/coding factory LED lights. Most aftermarket options look ridiculously aftermarket. These are called hybrid lights because the parking / turn signals are still incandescent bulbs. Both the low and high beams are LED which is what I cared about.

The fogs, btw, are the diode dynamic SS3's and they absolutely rule. We can get some thick fog some nights up in rural PA so I wanted REAL fog lights. I'm even more impressed with how much light these throw for something that fits in the factory location and is plug and play.

Those headlights and fogs are VERY impressive. Excellent choice! The coverage of those fogs is above what I'd expect.

I went with Raptor Retros for headlights on my 12 and diode dynamics fogs. Even the low model fog lights have great output and look factory (plug and play, uses factory mounting holes). I replaced the high mount light with one from Raxium (american trucks had em down from 75 or 80 to 60 shipped)

i know you said no tune but damn did the MPT tune wake it up, shift programming alone was worth it.

Im gonna start refreshing mine - the black plastic trim is all faded. I replaced the wiper cowl already. The rest will get taped off and black trim paint. The grill is gonna be a pain in the ass.
