    let me start by saying I’m apprehensive to make any changes to the factory set up but I was hoping there would be a low risk level set up? I know there are a few options and a spacer kit would probably be the way I would go. I had a 2012 fx4 previously with a 1.5 inch level. So I really like the leveled look but don’t want to sacrifice the ride quality. I think ford did a great job on the set up but I’m defiantly conflicted. Any info would be appreciated.

    I also found a Fabtech 4” lift but requires some cutting to the subframe. Anyone have any input on that system? Link below

    theres a guy on the beadlock wheels thread that's putting the fabtech 4" lift on his truck. I gotta hear how it turns out.. He states that the lift doesent affect the factory set up.

    The company I am working with www.txtruckworx.com who is also recommending the RPG collar. I was considering moving to 37" Toyo's but they tell me there can be rubbing on tight turns so I think I'll stick with my original beadlock 34.5" BF Goodrich tires. I'm looking at a 2.5" lift to level the truck. I'll let you know how it goes!

    I read that too but I’m not sure if I believe it. I want to because it looks great with a lift and 37s but we’ll see.

    Would you mind posting some pictures? Did you keep your stock wheels and tires?

    The ride seems the same and it leveled my truck perfectly for me, I'm still about a half inch high in the rear.
