Well I just got my 2011 FX4 SC EcoBoost last week. This is my 3rd vehicle, and my 3rd F-150. My first vehicle was a 2000 F-150 Xlt 4x4 when I was 15. Kept her 5 years, and then came my 2005 F-150 King Ranch 4x4. Kept her 5 years, and now at 25 years of age...just got my new baby. One thing has remained the same thoughout the 10 years/3 trucks. I have loved each one from the moment I first saw it. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and experiencing the progression of the F-150. I thought that my 05 King Ranch was nice and a huge upgrade. (And it was). But boy oh boy, this 2011 has come a long way. I don't have a single bad thing to say about it. I LOVE FORD!











Here is a picture of my little work truck, just for giggles


Here are a couple pictures of my grooms cakes from my wedding back in 2009.

 

Mods to the 2011 so far are:
2" AutoSpring Leveling kit
275/65/20 GoodYear DuraTrac (Stock width 11" but 34" tall)
Black pieces to replace mirror reflectors.
I have a flat black billet grille to fill the front bumper hole, but I am waiting on the full plastic piece to replace my license plate holder on the drivers side front bumper. (EcoBoost)

Future Mods:
20% front window tint
Low Profile black tool box
Line-X

Truck has the 3.73 rear end and only 250 Miles...haven't got a good chance to check MPGs yet, but on a short Highway trip with the DuraTracs....I was gettting 18

 

Wow, what a difference the level kit makes. Did you notice a big drop in power after the leveling kit? Keep us updated on fuel mileage. Too bad you didn't get more miles stock for a good comparison.
Very nice!!

 

Drop in power? I wouldn't expect that. But I can't say because of so few miles stock. I have tested the power a couple times, and am very pleased. I was getting 19 MPG on my 45 mile trip home from the dealer. So..if I only lose 1 MPG with the level and tires...I will be happy. I got about 14-15 with my King Ranch

 

truck looks good.

leveling kit effects power in no way what so ever....

 

The new truck look's great, congrat's!

 

Truck looks good, all your old trucks look good too. Must take care of your stuff. Congrats on the new purchase.

 

What's your opinion on those tires?

 

Very Nice!!!!!

Jeez everybody is so literal . I mean, does the truck feel slower with the larger diameter tires and truck leveled out (more aerodynamic drag because the front end is now higher) eg: not feel as powerful

 

Just got the same exact truck 2 weeks ago... minus the EB. I love the Silver! When I get the money to lift it, the question will be to do chrome wheels like I normally do, or try something new and go with black.

 

beautiful truck man.

 

Thanks everyone!

Opinion so far on the DuraTracs:
-Look Great!
-Quiet, even at 75Mph
-Ride is smooth
-I would like to see deeper tread.

I have read a few negative opinions on the AutoSpring Kits. Well, I have had 2 now. And my opinion on this 2011 is the same as it was on my 2005. I can not tell a difference in ride quality. This 2011 drives, handles, and just feels more luxurious than my 2005 did. This new electronic power steering makes turning effortless. (Big improvement). All together, I can not tell any difference from my level and tires. Drives and performs like stock...looks a L of a lot better. I wish my tires were 285's for a little more width...but I wanted a 34, and I am very happy with the height of them. Good thing is, that I have NO rubbing, and haven't had any traction control issues.

 

congrats! looks good!

I had a '93 4x4, then a '97 Lariat SCab, now an '03 Lariat Fx4 SCab...

 

No problems with the leveling kit install with the EPS?
