I finally got all the parts I needed to lower my FX4. I ordered:

Front 2wd Coil springs and struts
Rear 2wd shocks
2" groundforce shackles
4 - Goodyear Fortera SL tires rated for mud/snow. Good for going to the snow with 4wd. 275/45/22
4 - 2008 F150 Limited wheels from ebay that I had powdercoated 90% gloss black. The photos don't show the limited center caps since I have not painted them yet.

I was able to reuse the 4 TPMS valve stems (no TPMS bands for 2010, just valve stems).

Like I stated in the last thread I made, just because I have a FX4 does not mean I need to flex up on something or get it muddys. Been there done that (check my photos of my last truck) My goal for this truck was to have a lowered truck that I could take on interstate 80 during the winter and go to Lake tahoe in the snow or exploring the backroads. Please don't say "It's a 4x4, it should be lifted" or something like that. Thanks.

Here's the photos:

Stock but with rear blocks removed.


Lowered all the way.

 

Dang man... what a great set-up. I liked it lowered when you did it then the addition of the wheels look amazing. Bada$$

 

Its a 4x4 it shouldnt be lowered........


Course Im in a 2wd that shouldnt be lifted. Its a twisted world.

Truck looks real good. I give it

 

OMG! best 10 on the site (IMO) just needs the harley heads and tails

 

Looks great

 

looks GREAT!!! yeah the smoked rear taillights and heads would look killer love it

 

Very nice.

 

go lower....





great looking truck!!!!

 

Thanks everyone. I would like the rear to sit equal to the front somehow without new leafs. I'm going to run it like this for awhile until someone comes out with a 2/4 kit for 4x4's like Roush has for the 04-08's. I'm still trying to figure out with harley/raptor lights would look good on silver... anyone have any photos?

 

looks awesome but i am bias towards silver

 

what wheels are those? :O
they look great on your truck
that looks like a very long truck haha
compared to the 04-08

great looking

 

I agree needs to go lower, but looks are improved 10 times over

 

Can't go any lower right now if I want to still have 4wd work... These are what the wheels looked like without paint. They came on the 2008 F150 Limited trucks and harleys.

 

Kona,
Would you mind if I use your photo to try 'em on my truck?
They look freakin' sweet!
Definitely a great OEM+ look!

 

very nice!
agreed it will look killer an inch or two lower in the back, but definitely killer none the less!
