I really like the color and stance of your truck. Not a fan of the camo along the bottom. But it's not my truck.

Funny because when I first saw th truck online I was not so sure of the color. Never saw one that color, or noticed anyway. Then when I got there and saw the truck All I could think is I WANT IT! LOL


As far as the camo, I can understand that. I wasn't sure when I first put it on but once it went on I liked it. As you can tell I am a hunting fanatic. My antenna is also an arrow.


I also thought of using the Black vinyl instead of the camo.


Thanks for the compliments though. The Kit I used was an ebay kit, made by RTZ listed as 2.5" level/lift. Wasn't bad to install and gave it just the stance I was looking for.


My wife says the same as you but she said "the truck is definitely you" LOL


BTW the camo does not seem to look good in the pictures, neither does the color in my opinion. in person I think it looks 100% better.
The truck also came with a leer cap that I use in the winter months but off in the summer.

Totally understand. It's a to each their own type of thing. I don't think it looks bad, it's just not my style. BUT, you like it and that's all that really matters! Good looking truck either way!

I spent the afternoon installing a 1.5" Autospring kit. Overall, it was a fairly straight forward installation. The tires are 285/70r17. I'm happy with it and the ride and handling hasn't changed much if any.

I am really happy i only went with the 1.5. I think the 2" or 2.5" would put it way too nose high. The rear is completely stock.

Nice ride!


Mine was 2.5" in front but came with replacement shackles for the rear that were 1.5" shorter than factory.

Just installed Boss Ultimate coilover lift, w/ 3"tapered rea blocks.
Fronts set for 2.5" lift, rear an additional 1.75" lift. More firm / solid feeling ride.
New 34x10.50 -17 BFG TA KO2's and BORA wheel spacers also.

Looks good! Love the regular cabs. Nice choice on the tires as well!

Hey all, total noob here, and I've been all over the forums reading... My question is if I put a 2" AS Leveling kit on the front of my 2013 FX4 Screw, can I fit an actual 35x12.50r20 on the stock rims? My other option is going 2.5" AS front Level and 1.5" over stock lift in the rear... And again, would a 35x12.50r20 fit in that scenario? Thanks for any input guys!

Anything over 2 will cause front of the 4x4 to fail. The angles are too far out.

Thanks RSTHD150... After doing more research, I believe I'm just going to go with an Autospring 1.5" leveling kit... I'm not looking to get it all jacked up, just level, or with 1/2" inch of rake left... And I'm not looking to wear anything out prematurely... After I get the level on I'm throwing some 305x55r20's on for a little beefier tire width, 12" right at 33 1/4" tall...

I hear ya, I'm saving up for a 4in lift. I don't want my truck jacked to the moon like others do either.

Truck still doing great with the Bilstein 5100's...almost 30k miles since they were put on. Set at 1-1/2 inches in the front.

This is by far the best way to go for leveling in my opinion. I used to have the 2" auto spring spacer, but I wanted to upgrade the shocks, so I swapped it out for some Bilstein 5100s and I couldn't be happier. High performance shock absorbers and a leveling kit all in one package And they don't cost near as much as the Fox coilovers.
