Level or Lift?
I am trying to decide whether or not I want to level my 2011 FX when it arrives or lift it. I am considering putting a 2" leveling kit on the front with 3" blocks in the rear. Is anyone running this set up? OR just saving a little longer and going with a 4" lift. If you have photos that would be great, but mostly looking for opinions. Thanks.

what i did to my 011 fx4 is a front leveling kit with rear air bags, lifted it perfect, since its a new truck id just start on a leveling kit, a levelin kit wont void the warrenty, but i think a regular lift would. just my .2

I went with a Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit on the front end of truck, very happy with results and it doesnt void your warranty, a lift will. I also added 33's on 20's, gave it jusy a tad bit more height... again very happy with results as much as i wanted a lift after i saw the results of the leveling kit with wheels and tires i was satisfied and did away with the thought of a lift.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Willpower25 what leveling kid did you go with? Do you have more photos of the truck you could post. I love the white that is what I ordered. I will be towing my Fathers 23' Jones Brothers Center Console Boat. If you don't mind me asking how much did you spend total? Leveling kit, airbags, install, etc. Thanks.

i will post more pics tomorrow, if your gonna b doin any haulin i would go with airbags, i haul a bobcat in the summer, had the same set up on my 08 fx4 and the truck never sagged. i run 50 pounds in the back now, i only haul 2 sleds in the winter. it rides fine, but when i put 80 pounds in the bags in the summer it rides like a wagon lol.
