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?
I haven’t driven the truck at night yet, so that remains to be seen, but I’m assuming they need to be adjusted. I will be getting that done on 8 February when they re-programmed my speedometer at the dealer

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.
Does the FX4 have more or less rake then the non FX4 truck?

I do wish the Platty had a little more dish to them. GMC had a similar wheel that looked nice a few years back. As I am ordering SQ, I am considering using Graphite Pearl Plasti-Dip and masking the wheels like this.

From what I've measured the FX4 has about 0.5" more rake.

this is the antenna: Rydonair Antenna Compatible with Ford F150 2009-2021 | 7 inches Rubber Antenna Replacement | Designed for Optimized FM/AM Reception https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MJKMGY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_eyHeGbC151P84?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks! Flag stickers on the doors is something I’ve been doing since my last truck
Any degradation to your FM radio signal with the use of these? I had one of those bullet style antennas a long time ago and they weren't the best for signal, maybe they are better now?

I don’t use the radio all that much, but I haven’t noticed any degradation when I do. I sure the antenna because of the parking garage I go into it for work.
