Gotcha, I was confused because of the ‘EB’ in your name but it says diesel in your bio thing. I was hoping someone had actually taken delivery of a Diesel.. the wait is killin me.
I’ve got the Cravenspeed stubby and the reception sucks, but have a lifetime Sirius subscription on that truck so it’s not a big deal. Lookin for a short one like yours for my ‘21 that gets decent reception in my rural area!
You ordered a diesel? Lariat?
This one has served me well so far no complaints!

Hope it works out in the long run with no issues. It's back ordered on ready lifts website but if you call them they have them in stock. I called and ordered mine yesterday
I don’t see any issues that could arise and niether did the shop. Literally .25 inches of difference between the kits. The geometry won’t change all that much

I did, November 17th. KingRanch

your antenna has some good review, thanks for the tip, it’s on order for the parts pile.
Hopefully they get moving it soon. It’s been a long wait

Got her leveled today by a local shop. Tires and wheels in 2-3 days! Here is how she looks right now.

Truck looks good.
I'm curious to know what your measurement's are from hub center to the bottom of the fender wells on front and rear. I think the FX4 has about 4" of factory rake built into it. So you should still have about 1.75" of rake.

I’ll have to measure later when the rain stops

Looks amazing. Cannot wait to see it with the new tires. I was thinking 2" with same size tires. 2.25" looks really good.

I almost went platty but I despise chrome. I really wish they would do a "sport" package or something along those lines for it!

Looks great! Did the level change the ride/compliance at all?

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that ride quality didn’t change. Going over speed bumps is slightly stiffer but still smooth. I’m very happy with it!

Glad to hear you are happy with it. It looks a lot like my current white platinum that is leveled. The previous owner did it to mine and I was convinced that contributed to what I felt was an overly harsh ride. My few test drives in the 2021 I was blown away by the difference in compliance and comfort.

the ride quality is certainly better in the new one and I’m glad to have it retain with the lift!

That is such a better stance. If I wind up buying my 2020 at the end of the lease, I will definitely be doing this.
Now, I take it the headlights needed adjusted afterwards?
