2021 XLT PowerBoost w/ 4" BDS Lift, 35s, aftermarket 18s

[KiloWhiskey]

After 6.5 months of waiting my rig is bought and accessories all put on at the dealership. 4 inch BDS lift with fox shocks. 35x12.5r18 nitto terra grapplers with 18 in fuel zephyr wheels. I also added the Raptor style amber lights in the grill from stage 3 motorsports. Absolutely love how my rig looks

Do they have to cut the frame still to install these 4” lifts?
Or can you return it to stock now?

There was a small plastic area in the bumper that they had to cut but you would never know it. I can’t even tell that they cut anything. They did a very clean installation

How did you get the 4 lights for the raptor lights? Online it looks like only 3?

A BDS lift does require frame modification; no going back.

Fine with me. Dealer called me and said it was a small plastic area that they had to cut and that was about it. Nothing changes the drivability and if anything it improves the ride quality. I’m very happy with how it turned out personally.

looks great man. no big deal about the frame modification for the lift but it does appear they cut the front crash bar. The dealership installed this or did they use a shop?

I have the same BDS lift and I'm also really happy with it. I just wanted to answer the question ToTheDuals posted about frame modification.

Did you get the coil over lift or the non-coil bds 4” lift?

Dealership installed it. They do lifts all the time on rigs so they have a lot of experience with aftermarket stuff which gives me a warm fuzzy feeling haha.

Non-coils but now I want the coilovers. Do you like them? Expensive but I've heard they're worth the money.

Love the coils. The ride is incredibly smooth and takes bumps with ease.

I had a 6" lift on my last truck and I used the fox coils with the 2.5 remote reservoirs with DSC and then the fox 2.0 reservoirs with DSC out back. This is the only set up I will ever use. I beat on this setup out in the desert outside Vegas to mountains in Oregon and Colorado and they never let me down. They are amazing! On my 2021 I put a Roush level on it with the 2.0's. They are a decent shock but I regret buying them and want to swap them out to my previous set up.

His crash bars are still intact when the picture was taken while the truck was on the lift they might have cut them after the picture but not sure without the OP giving us a new picture of the front wheel well.

BDS 4 inch Lift requires part of the frame to be cut even on these new trucks, your dealer probably didnt mention it but its nothing to worry about.
