I just bought an 05 SCREW fx4 and its stock. Not for long though. Just found f150online.com and im adicted! My 4 year old son calls the new truck "shark motor drive". My old diesel f250 ws "monster motor drive".

Please give me your thoughts on what I want to mod.

Programer=from the forums it seems Edge is the best?

My first thought was 2" leveling with 17" American Racing Mojave/chamber teflon. 285/70 bfgood m/t

Now im thinking 4" rancho lift with 35" toyo m/t, same wheels.

Cant decide, please help! I use my truck every day for work, Land Surveying, so it cant be redicoulous high. Here in Hawaii Im in the mud and sand a lot at work/play but I do drive plenty on the road.
Thanks for your input!

 

do the 4" rancho and the 35" toyo's that'd look sick

 

If i were doing it i would go with the 6" fabtech or pro comp lifts. They are comparable in price but you get 2 extra inches here. Toyos are always great tires...so that is the best choice. I am not familiar with the wheels but i am sure they are great too...also if you are just gonna do 4" of lift, maybe a performance accessories 3" body lift could be in the picture? It is a lot cheaper..only around 200 for the lift with the only problem being installation. Overall i think u have great ideas.

 

If you are alreading thinking about a 4 inch lift and 35's, that's what you should go with. I'd also look at the RCD kit.

 

I'd go with a 2 or 2 1/2" leveling kit with the American Mojaves, Chamber's or Crater's all available with teflon finish and try to get the elusive 295x70x17 Toyo MT's. Just my 2 cent's. This site will empty your wallet quick! By the way I got to spend a little time at Hickam AFB way back in 1971.

 

You should really take a look at this thread;

As for programmer it really depends on if you want custom or canned. Here's a pretty good thread written by someone who's owned both and did a review.

My personal opinion is to go with at least a 6" lift because once you get it lifted you're going to want to go higher. I have a 6" lift on mine and would love to do a leveling kit and an AAL on top of it to give me a couple more inches of lift, but then would want bigger tires and new gears and would spend lots more $$$$$$

Where in Hawaii are you? I'm actually shipping my truck to Pearl Harbor in about 3 weeks and my family and I will arrive in Honolulu on September 27th.
