Well so many sharp trucks in here . This being my first 4WD the lift look is looking more natural then stock. The ford allready looking so agressive but the lift and tires on all these trucks . Well lets say it compliments the 4WD to its max. Hey Rhonda i think there is going to be another delivery at the door. Also thanks to all of you, I will use your pics to convince momma what it really looks like. I know she will love it.

I took mine to a shop, but after looking the kit over, I would say that if you had some decent jack stands and maybe two jacks and an assistant, you could probably knock this out over a weekend. However you would still need to take it in for alignment. If you decide to do it yourself you will save $500-$1500 on the install labor, but be prepared to put in a full weekends work. I think Smidty (sp?) put his lift in himself and has pics of it in his gallery.

Alright you lifted freaks.... two questions.
1. Have you/Do you track your mpg's? How much of a decrease did you notice?
2. Ride quality. How much did you sacrafice? It it still a glass-smooth ride over nice roads and bumpier on nasty roads or just stiffer all around? Anybody with the Rancho RS9000X shocks.. are the lower settings cushy or not?
Ok, I lied... THREE questions..
3. Road noise. How much more? I expect more from the mud tires, but what about the guys running the bigger all-terrains?

great looking trucks guys! just wondering for those of you with the 3:73 rear ends, how bad was the loss of power to the pavement with the larger tires? i bought my truck witht he 3:73ls with the small 235/70/17 because i am going to change them out with bigger and didn't want to pay for upgraded tires twice. but i am now wondering how much power loss i will have. will need to now change the rear end gears? i was just going to put on a front level kit and 33/12.5x17 tires on.
please let me know.

I meant lifetime mileage (tire wear), do they give you any estimates. I ask because I couldn't get an estimate for my X terrains.
