It blends in quite well. I will say that the two cube lights on the side are much brighter than the front bar as they are spot lights, not a flood light. Either way, these lights definitely make the path much easier to see! Install wasn't bad if you don't mind taking the front bumper piece off and drilling two holes...

S&B cold air intake, Cobb coolant tank cover, and adjusted the fog lights to not point down 8 inches from the bumper.

I had that same issue with my fog lights. Once i adjusted them i was extremely happy with how they perform.

Installed RC 2.5" M1 Monotube struts and alignment. Ride definitely stiffen up a bit more (more truck feel than that floatiness, kept stock rear blocks). (https://www.roughcountry.com/ford-s...8.html?find=2022-ford-f-150-tremor-4wd-879964).
Installed Closed box air intake (p/n 19315) from volant with the powercore filter.
And finally uploaded my 91 performance tune from 5Star... let me tell you its an amazing amount of difference from stock, I had high expectations for the tune and it exceeded that. I havent gotten a 0-60 time yet, tried a couple times using Torque, but it never registers even though I have gone 5-8 mph past 60. I've seen these, but refuse to spend the cash on it

I know this truck isn't built for 0-60s , but my stupid head keeps telling me I got record a 0-60.. put some metrics to it. Ill be doing a gopro run sometime after the sweep up all the damn sand and debris off the streets. Next weekend goes in the amber grille light from @Cblaxx19

Nice, is it level or some rake left. Hard to tell.

It sits roughly a 1/2" difference from front to rear, but I think it'll settle a bit more within the next coming week or 2 (have had the coilovers in less than a week). Ideally I was looking for 0.75-1" of rake. I just ordered the Airlift loadlifter 5000 kit for the rear when I tow my 7700lbs travel trailer to help with that now that I have seen the result of the lift.

I’m not sure if you know or not but those m1 struts are adjustable. I believe they incorporate snap rings to raise or lower 1/2” or so. It would also be a little less stiff.

They have an adjustable m1 just not the one for the Tremor.

I threw them in at max height, I just dont want to take everything back apart adjust that snap ring, and possible re alignment. First world problems eh

So the P/N for the M1s is 502059, its the same as P/N 510040 just mnus the rear blocks. I verified this through RC tech support. I wasn't lowering the back end so I save 50$.

Hmmm I guess the guy at RC told me wrong, he said that they had adjustable M1 but that the one they used for the Tremor wasn't. Maybe he meant they didn't recommend to adjust it so as the kit made the vehicle level.

bigpapan4 · Mar 28, 2023

Yeah the guy I talked to stated that they haven't tested it on a tremor specifically, but dimensionally is the same part. AKA they are CYA on the legal side of things. The 502059 fit great! I didn't want a puck, and didn't really wanna drop 1500-1800 plus on coilovers, so I figured it was a decent middle ground.. Time will tell on that though.

Can you add a pic of the light bar unlit? How well does it “hide”?

Looking for an option to put up front for those dark Texas back roads. I have the ditch lights that work great; but I’m looking for that “light up the world” option

I really like @Cblaxx19 hidden light rail for DD pods……but buying 4 pairs of those gets pricey

its actually 5 pairs of ssc2.....

you could do the same thing with a 30" light bar though. and its even easier if you are ok splitting it and doing 2 shorter lightbars. just replace the louvers with the light bars.

Would I need your bracket to do the light bar install?

KewTremor33 · Mar 28, 2023

Today added the COBB shroud, bracket and coolant cover. Yup the bracket was a bitch. I ended up drilling to make the holes a little bigger on the frame and used gorilla tape to hold the bottom piece in place. Overall came out nice. I also added the UPR oil catch can. Done for now as my credit card has been smoking with all the great add ons you guys keep posting! Next up will be a leveling kit and I ordered some pocket fender flares that I need to get painted Avalanche Gray.

you wouldnt need the single piece bracket like i made. i needed that since the pods needed mounting locations across the grille.

you could get away with 2 small brackets on each side to tie into the light bar mount locations.

Added a Leer Shell today. Yesterday had my son pull front windows and bake on tint and I lowered the rear 1.5 inches. Last week put on a Talons garage cat keeper-onner... Waiting for the rear swaybar to come in. Wopping 350 miles on it so far!
