And then I decided to lift a bit more. 5-5.5" budget suspension lift.
  And one of the B2 and the Focus  And a day later, the CV driveshaft said F#%$ that!

Of course after lifting it on my DIY POS lift brackets, I had to try them out and they held up beautifully. Aftermath:
  I like posting pics so I'll keep this thread updated. I have "real" 4" brackets in the mail and I just picked up some rims with a better offset for $50. Will post a pic soon.

New rear shocks in and wider offset rims put on (which allowed me to get a spare finally) so........I had to test them out
   Still not much flex in the front. I have not extended my brake lines yet so the F150 shocks stay on until then. Still have to make it home lol.
