Getting mine installed a week from tomorrow. Going with the middle setting. Might be the minority here but I like a little rake in the front. I'm already about 1/2 inch lower than my dads F150, both stock, but I have a 12,000lb Warn winch on the front of mine. Between the winch and the middle setting I'm hoping it will be right where I want it. Pics will be added next week.

Had mine installed today. Haven't driven enough to form an opinion yet. Seems stiffer. Also had Power Stop rotors and pads installed.

Awesome post up some pics if you get a chance.

Before and after. Had them installed today. I went with the middle setting. Gave me about 1 inch total lift, but I was a little lower than stock due to my winch. I'm not upgrading tires or wheels right now so didn't want to go much higher. I actually like a little drop left in the front anyway. Only drove about 10 minutes home but didn't notice any difference in the drive or ride. Really happy with the result.

Nice looking truck. I almost bought a RCSB stx in 13. Same color. Was a stupid deal too, but I kept my Ranger SCAB. Regret it to this day.

Thank you. I wanted a reg cab blue STX since this body style was released in '09. I waited until March of '15 and got a great deal on this one. For a daily driver the regular cab is perfect for me. The STX look is as close to you can get to the look of a FX4 reg cab as well. I love this truck.

Have driven my truck about a month since installing the 5100s. I like them. Truck seems to sit higher and it is a little more stiff. But it is a truck. I am good with that.

It's great to read that you like them, but man I don't want my truck anymore stiff. I also know that different models have different front springs (3750 GVW vs 3900 GVW springs)... I wonder if I already have the heavy springs and could swap them as I install the 5100's to the lighter springs for a better ride (if that's how it works). I know there's one guy on here that I PM'd with that did this...Has anyone else done the research and tried something custom?

I've got almost 30K miles on my Bilsteins and they've softened up a bit...not as firm as when I first got them but better then the OEM shocks. Truck rides real smooth now but still handles great. P rated Toyo's aired to 36 psi for daily use.

Bilsteins went on this weekend.
