Exclamation Lowered 2010

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.

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?

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!
