No, that is the complete level/lift kit. That would keep your factory rake, but raise everything 2 1/2". I went with just the 2" front spacer here: http://autospringcorp.com/index.php?...products_id=20

From what I understand, the X4 is a MAJOR upgrade over the X3. The X4 has an LED screen and other reviews I've read note that they boot and upload tunes about 3x faster. And I can definitely say it is fast at booting and loading.

 

Wow, that is so much cheaper than I thought and yours looks great. Did you happen to get a pic w the level but your first set of wheels? Wondering if I did the level now and waited on the wheels how it would look, I have brand new tires on that came with the truck

 

I still have the same wheels (stock). If you mean tires, then no. I put the level on 12 hours before having the new tires installed, so no pics of the level with the stock tires. You'll look fine driving around for a while without new tires. I wouldn't worry about that.

 

Meant tires, yea...Brand new set of Dynapro Hankook on, which I like fine. As long as they look ok for the time being ill just need to find someone to install the level.

Did your brother in law do it alone or did you give him a hand? What was the install time?

 

My brother-in-law works at an auto mechanic shop. They don't do level or lift installs or anything of that nature. He did it as a hook-up in the shop. I wasn't allowed to help him because it was during business hours on the shop floor. I watched most of the install though. He did 90% of it himself and had another guy give him a hand when needed. It took him about 1 1/2 hours. He was taking his time too.

I was prepared to do everything myself to save on install cost. But when I talked to my brother-in-law, he said he could do it for $43. It was worth that $43 to have someone else do it. I also had to get an alignment done at another shop for $59. If I was doing it, it would have been in my garage with bottle jacks and limited working space. For what it is worth, I called local places to have them quote installs. Most places wanted between $150-$300. Some places would only install the levels that they sold.

 

Thats a great deal, I guess ill have to do some work on the phone. I knew I should of married someone who's siblings brought something to the table

 

You can just pull the fuse for those. I did on my 06

 

Doesn't work on my 11', you can pull fuses for the low beam lights, which then in turn disables the DRL's , but thats kind of annoying...

 

Huh, that's weird. Certainly couldn't run around with only high beams. I would think there's a sequence you can do to turn them off, but maybe not. You can turn the entry headlights, seat belt warning, etc. off on mine. And the new ones have a ton of options.

 

Look what I found



Got them installed and working right after work today. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until it is dark to get to see just how good they are. Until then, here is a teaser:

 

Very nice

 

Looking forward to seeing them!

 

More (most likely) dumb questions incoming, I checked out the sct and it said gains were around 50HP, 100 torque. Question 1 is that noticeable and question 2 I know at one time you seemed a bit worried about warranty issues, what made you change your mind

 

The gains are going to be based on who is writing the tunes. But I would say 50HP and 100TQ is pushing it. That would be an absolute ideal situation and definitely running 93 octane.

I was initially worried about warranty just because it was a brand new truck. I put the tires on and hoped the dealership could recalibrate the speedo (like they swore up and down they could). After they couldn't I knew I couldn't deal with the speedo and shift points being that far off. My latest switch from Diablo to custom tunes was solely based no the reviews I was reading about custom tunes and their distinct advantage over canned tunes. So I decided to make the leap. I just had this conversation on another forum and here are a few of the points that I made:

1.) Think of the amount of F150's on the road and how many have actually had powertrain warranty issues. I'd venture to guess it would be less than 5% of owners.
2.) The tune itself is HIGHLY unlikely to cause the problem by itself. The only problem would be an actual issue with the powertrain itself which could have the warranty denied just because you happen to have a tuned PCM.
3.) This is my 4th F150. I've had an '86, '05, '10, and now '13. NONE of them have had powertrain problems. My '86 is the only one I had to do maintenance on because, well I owned it from 2003-2005 and it was old.

 

50 HP 100 torque sounds more like diesel engine tunes / tuners maybe ecoboost tunes would get close to that but that defiantly sounds like numbers for turbo charged or super charged motors
