Good morning forum!

Long time Ford fan boy here. We currently have a very much modified 2012 F250 diesel and we traded in a 2019 Expy for the 2021 ST. As it always goes, and as it went with the Expy, I told the wife that I wouldn't touch it. HOWEVER, I joined this forum to get some clarity on some things and have already bought window tint, the LAMIN-X for the fogs, a Corsa exhaust, the Steeda sway, and am now considering FenFabs intake setup......and the whipple...and the.....

Here's the Expy that I wasn't go to touch...but I ended up lifting it and putting on the Raptor wheels.

And here is the new one. Can't wait to install the Corsa...

Any way...I truly thank all the posters for their excellent insight.

The Corsa exhaust finally showed up! So I installed it and the Steeda Sway bar. I am pleasantly pleased with it. Maybe a slight bit of drone but it's settling in nicely.

So maybe it's cause I'm borderline deaf or maybe I don't know what I am looking for, but I no longer hear any drone since it's been settling in. Maybe a TOUCH around 1900 RPMs

I'm very pleased with the sound and more importantly, the wife loves it.

I get a little obsessive when it comes to my builds, and I like to create spreadsheets to see where I am and where I am headed. SO here's where I currently am:

Welcome to the forum! Obviously you bought the best color, too! LOL Looks like your list is pretty comprehensive! I do see a diffy stiffy on the list though. Have you checked for the rear bolts visible in the rear subframe, 2 or 2? (actually 3 or 4 total as the 2 front bolts aren’t visible from just looking under the rear of the car.

Unfortunately I do have the three bolt. I figure it’s extra insurance
