I've had the 2011 FX4 since November and has seen a few changes.. I finally have the lift, Wheels and tires they way I envisioned it when I bought it... Still need a Ram-Air hood, BMF grille, tinted lights all the way around, AMP Research steps and paint rear wheel wells black.

Day I bought it


The next day I had my 22 XD Monster and 33x12.50x22 Toyo M/T installed from my old FX2, This is on the stock suspension.


I wasn't happy with the wheels or the stock height, So I bought 22" BMF Novakane death metal, AS 2" Leveling kit, 2" rear blocks and Roadmaster active suspension

 

Here is the Rancho 4" Installed with the old BMF Novakane death metal and 33x12.50x22.. Tires look tiny!

 

Now here is the Rancho 4", 22" BMF Stealth Novakane and 325/50/22 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T.. I think I'm going to paint the rear wheel wells black this weekend.. The silver really sticks out now that it's lifted..

 

Wheels

 

Wow, what a progression from stock to beast now. It looks really good. Any rubbing at all with the 35's? The first thing I did when I had my lift put on was to remove that plastic feeler thing that sticks down in the front behind the bumper. It was blocking my view from the front of that nice Rancho subframe.

 

Yeah, The tires were rubbing the bumper valance so bad the wheel couldnt turn, Probably because I have a 0 offset.. But the tire shop used a cut off wheel to trim it and no rubbing at all.. They did a really clean job trimming, Can even tell it's cut off.. I'll get a pic an post it.. I was more worried about rubbing on the door side of the fender, I have always had rubbing issue there with my past few F150s, But no rubbing there at all.

 

WOW!!!! Great work! I am thinking the 4" Rancho lift is for me..... Now I need to find wheels to put on the wishlist too.....

 

Nice progression....

The new wheels really add to its appearance...

 

It really looks nice, excellent work!

 

You know..... Now that you mention it, I think I need to do that exact thing to mine this weekend. Something just wasnt right about that back there but you've just hit the nail on the head. Since lifting it the back end did not look right on mine either! Great idea for a weekend project. I'm sure there is a hundred post of guys doing it on here with some tips and pointers

The truck looks great and you've def. hit that right "rubber to rim ratio"!

 

Truck looks great!!! I used a can of PlastiDip on my inner fender well when I bought the truck....works great to hide the interior well and protects it a bit more too!

Are you still using the Roadmaster kit? How do you like it? has it effected offroad capability at all?

 

Looks great!

 

Looks Killer!!

 

Truck looks fantastic. One of my favorites. Now you just need bigger disc brakes since they look small inside of the 22's! J/k, looks great as is.

 

That looks amazing. Quite jealous. Completely off-topic, but I notice your black tips. Are those purchased black or did you paint them like your old ones? If so, did you clear coat them to keep them clean or no? Thanks and great job again!
