Hey guys Ive been lurking here for awile and I finally bought a truck yesterday. Its a 06 FX4. Im happy with it so far, just wondering if there is anything I should watch out for right away. Here is a pic. Awesome site.

 

congrats.

 

Great looking truck and welcom to the site.

 

Just watch out for your wallet. It'll empty fast if you stick around long enough.

 

This very true. The Brown truck should be dropping some care packages off today.

 

Level that truck quick.

 

welcome......

 

For appearance that's fine but if he tows or carries anything of substantial weight then leveling is pretty counter productive. I'd LOVE to level mind but if I did my ride height would be all jacked up when towing my trailer. Unless of course I beef up the rear, wow, everything is cyclic isn't it?

 

Also, if he offroad's a decent amount then those CVs are gonna be cryin.

 

Run away from this site now before your wallet is empty. Welcome and nice truck.

 

congrats! Great looking truck!

 

Good looking truck, these things are pretty solid. Other than watching out when it comes time to change the plugs really not much else to worry about

 

Not to mention that ride quality will suffer to some degree too. Anyone that argues differently knows not what they speak. By it's very nature, the spacer compresses the spring MORE and this will lead to a stiffer ride, not to mention the fact that the front suspension is no longer exactly as the manufacture designed. > Stiffer suspension + pot holes = horrible experience <

The spacer is for those who wish to fit a much larger tire and/or don't like the rake of the front end. I tow with mine and appreciate the nice ride quality of the truck. Installing an AAL to compensate for the sagging tail when towing (if a spacer is installed) just compounds the ride quality issue.

To each his/her own. Just consider the cons along with the pro's.

 

Welcome Andy!

Beware - your wallet will empty fast if you hang around here very long!

 

Thanks fo rthe responces guys. I though tabout leveling it but I may wait awile. I want a tonneau cover an intake and a tune first.

I spend enough money on the other car. 2000 Mustang GT. Supercharged and alot of other things that cost a lot.
