this was easier than i thought. ordered the kit thursday, got it yesterday afternoon, and just HAD to put it on today!!! left side took about 1 1/2 hours, right side about 1 hour!!!!
before:


after:


something i noticed for those who are going to do this mod:
1. watch the brake line when you loosen the knuckle. i didn't like letting the knuckle hang by the line.

and i really like the look now!!!!!!!!! (those michelins look kinda "small now"!!)

 

Truck looks great! dont worry about the small tires im still on stock 275's, i also hate how small they look but they arent gone enough for me to shell out a grand for tires

 

Looks good. Don't forget to adjust the headlight angles. Don't want to blind oncoming drivers.

 

the tires look OK standing beside the truck!! i will go a little bigger when i wear out the michelins!!!

headlights and fogs are aimed!!!!!

and the wife says i need nerf bars so she can get into the truck!!!!! darn..........another mod to do!!!!!!!(such a sweet woman!!)

 

i got some nerf bars after i put all mine on, not for the wife though, for the mom. she bought um so im not complaining!

 

Looks good! I ordered mine Fri so hopefully I will get it today. Also, I just ordered my new magnaflows. I have some serious shoptime ahead of me.

Question. I've never done it and I'm not sure if it's in the owners manual, but, any special tricks on aiming the lights? I'm sure if I park in front of a wall, I can find the adjustments somewhere behind the headlights and do just fine. Also, do any of you forsee any other problems besides the before mentioned? I'm getting the 2.5 AS btw.

 

just watch the brake line when the knuckle comes loose. and i took the sway bar loose from the top of the link, not the bottom. it's a 15mm head, and you will need another wrench to hold the link from turning as you take the nut off.

as for the headlights.......you need a "special tool", or a 4mm socket or wrench. i bought a 4mm socket at advance auto, when i find a snap-on tool truck, i'll get a wrench. the adjuster is on top of the headlight assembly, almost level with the top of the radiator support.

 

I also did the 2'' AS and finally got wheels. Makes a big difference.

 

Nice job!

 

blackfx4intn you should look in to a front end anlinent

 

Yeah, I just put mine on today. It was pretty easy and I plan on getting an alignment tomorrow or Mon. I'm at the firestation today so I can't upload my pics, but I think it looks good, Will upload them tomorrow.

 

Sweet looking FX4! Welcome, I love my FX4.
