newbie here...Hello
 

Ive been lurking in these forums in the last 2 weeks doing research. I took the plunge and got a 2004 SCrew FX4. Just picked it up today. I got to tell you...I feel like a kid with a new toy. :banana:

I'm really glad I got the FX4 b/c it has some of the stuff I was going to add with aftermarket parts anyway like lifting it a little, skid plates and 3.73 LS.

I have only ridden home and test driven it , I absolutely love it. So what is it I need to know about the FX4. Are the Rancho shocks any good?

nanners for me...:banana: :banana:

Congrats on the new truck and good luck with it. All you need to do i search for anything your looking for and you will find answers to almost any question. If you cant find it in a search then just post away and the answers will soon follow.


Oh and what you need to know about the FX4.......its the best model Ford makes:devil:

other than the Rancho shocks and 3.73 ls gears and skid plates, what other goodies does the fx4 include?

Howdy

Congrats Silver', welcome aboard! :rocker: You now have the sweetest truck on the planet...enjoy modding that thing, FX4s rock....:banana:

Thanks guys! Question: What is audiophile? Is that the factory radio our FX4's come with?

Welcome aboard silver!!

The audiophile is an option that adds to the 6-disc in dash changer. It tacks on a 90-watt powered sub under the rear seats, and component speakers in the front door. Not to shabby for a factory system, but not enough for a true 'audiophile' person.

'Nanners for the newb! :banana: :banana: :banana:

Welcome a congrats Silver-Gt. 04 fx4 do look great. :banana: :banana: :banana: You will love the change once you spend time behind the wheel . Some members stated they enjoy going shopping with their wifes just to get to drive their trucks. Now thats true love LOL.

does anyone know how much taller the fx4's are than the XLT/Lariat?

I personally didn't see a diff between my Lariat screw & my neighbors FX4 scab... Same height, but the FX4 suspention is 'off-road tuned'. :rolleyes:

I’m not for sure on this but I think the FX4 & all other 4 wheel drives have a 2” block between the rear leaf spring and the axle. The 4x2’s don’t have the spacer block.

Hey bro

my company just got two F 150 4x4 screws one is a Lariat and one is a FX4 they are almost the same all the way around
