Were these photos taken of the interior before the vinyl wrap was completely installed? It looks as if it has not been finished in certain areas, or is even coming off and bubbling.
Heck, I've even seen these problems in new Fords sitting in showrooms, the sales people oblivious to the insult they are offering to the buyers.

Mrocha,
First, your truck looks stellar! Congrats on all the hard word and attn to detail.
Second, I'm looking at installing he 4" Rancho in my '12 f150 FX4, screw and also use the same tire size (35"x20"). One shop is telling me that I may have rubbing and should go with 33's. Hard pill to swallow. Did you see any rubbing with your 35's?
Thanks!

The only part I haven't done is the trim piece around the console lid with the rear cup holders. That piece was a PITA, I burned through 2 pieces and was unsuccessful. I may see if a shop can wrap that piece for me.

What's the offset on the wheels that you are getting? The only part I had to trim was a small piece from the lower valence. My neighbor has an 09 and he has a 4" rancho. He was running ballastic jesters -12 offset on 35x20 nitto trails and had the same amount of trimming. Can I ask why you want to do a 4" and not a 6"?

6" is a bit extreme for an everyday driver, IMO, given the amount I drive.
I'd rather get spacers or new rims if they have to get bumped out to fit.
Thoughts?

Makes sense. I was only asking bc I know when I put my rancho on, it was not even 2 months later and I already wanted to go bigger. I should have gone with a 6" from the start. So if there is even that thought in the back of your mind I would go 6" for sure. I would think you will be ok with the rancho and 35's. You may have to do minimal trimming but nothing major. Have you tried searching for your year model with the rancho and running stockers.
