Is it a 4x4 or a 4x2, I see the tow hooks but I didn't know they made STX in 4x4 or did you just buy the the tow hooks yourself?

It really dresses the truck up and makes a nice looking package.

Can we have a shot of the CV angles? I am nervous about the leveling kit because of the CV angles. The ball joints dont bother me so much. I also keep thinking of how the lift kits have half-shaft spacers. There is a reason that they put those spacers in there.

Thanks man, I really like the way it looks. I will get some pics of the shafts tomorrow. I'm really not too worried about the angle of the shafts. There are several people here running this kit and I have not heard of very many problems and haven't seen anything that would point to the leveling kit causing any harm. But heck, even if it does cause the CV's to go out a little earlier than normal, they are fairly easy to replace and don't cost and arm & leg. For me, the leveling kit is the perfect addition to my truck and needs.

I got to put about 150 miles on the truck yesterday and now have a much better feel for the tires. They ride really sweet and are a very quiet tire. If anyone is thinking about these tires, all I can say is....BUY THEM - you won't be disappointed!

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, Simple Man, do you know what the model number for the magnaflow muffler is. I have an 07 supercrew 4x4 with the 4.6 and that is what I wanted to do is put the magnaflow on. I just sold an 07 Titan that I had a dual in single out magnaflow with the stock pipes and it sounded and performed great for the money.

Hello and welcome to the forum.
Since I didn't order the muffler (they had it in stock at the exhaust shop) I don't know what the model number was. It was an 18" muffler though if that tells you anything. I am very impressed with the sound and it even feels like I gained some power, but you know how that is.

Truck looks great! Glad to hear that the STTs perform well. I have a set in my garage, along with a Corsa exhaust system. I'm just waiting for the weather to break and it's killing me!

Looks awesome man, glad the 2.5'' didnt give you reverse rake. I think my next tires are going to be either those or the toyo m/t's

Thanks guys! Yeah I was a little curious to see if the 2.5" AS kit was going to give me a reverse rake and I was prepared to order an AAL if it did. I was pleasantly surprised that it leveled it perfectly. I might still add an AAL just so I don't squat when I tow my boat, RV or my firewood trailer.
