But of course! I wouldnt have it any other way. I wish Ford would've done the PTM on all Lariats not just the FX4's.

Damn that's good to know. So would you say the flip kit with shackles and drop shocks would be a good option for the rear?

you will have to use a lift shackle. with just a flip you will get 6" of drop. and def. do shocks.

I like the storm trooper look #2 but I would loose the running boards all together. Also need to get some black headlights.

Thanks for the opinion, I think I will be getting rid of the running boards for sure. As for the headlights I'm looking for a quality Black set as we speak. Any ideas who to buy from?

The 6" drop you're talking about is for a 2wd or 4wd? Is there a difference between the two?

the flip kit i was talking about is for a 2wd. i am not sure on any info on a 4wd.

as far as black headlights, just paint the ones you have. or buy a set on here and paint them. that is what i did.
