Ok, so here's the background...I have a 2003 Supercrew FX4 Lariat. Yes an FX4 LARIAT...it has lariat stickers and lariat seats as well as other lariat stuff. But the prolem is...i have recently been told that there is no such thing as an FX4 Lariat. Now i know what i see and the factory stickers on my truck as well as the skid plates, rancho shocks, and other various FX4 parts....so can anyone and everyone enlighten me on their knowledge of an FX4 Lariat or why i would have the parts and stickers when there is "no such thing"

 

2001-2003 the FX4 Off Roaad Package was optional on the XLT and Lariat trim levels. For 2004+ models, FX4 became it's own trim level.

I have the same, 2003 Screw Lariat FX4, but removed the FX4 stickers.

Here's what it included:

Whoever told you that,obviously doesn't know what their talking about.I ordered mine from the factory that way and I see quite a few on the road.

 

thank you, i was just on a thread talking about high schoolers with trucks and figured since i just graduated i would throw my two cents in, however im not a truck gooroo but i was pretty sure i had my facts straight on that...ill paste all this info over to them. Thanks guys and nice truck woody, i love the short exhaust. what type of lift is that??

 

Thank you----6" fabtech

 

ok, so i know this sounds stupid..but if you get a 6" lift that will total about 8 or 9" due to the factory body lift right???

 

Basically it lifted the truck 6" higher than it came from the factory. That in addition to the larger tires---went from approx. 32" tires to 35" tires---puts the truck like 8" higher than factory.

 

3" larger diameter tires means half of that is below the rim to raise it up. So, yeah, like woody said, about 8" over stock.

 

FX4 is still a package as opposed to a trim level on the Super Duty trucks, correct?

 

2007 SD FX4 Yes, it's a package.
2008 SD FX4 is a trim level.
