bought an 06 black fx4 a month ago. I just got my auto spring 2.5 kit today. going to put it on tommorow and putting 17x9 eagle alloy wheels and 295/70/17 nitto terra grapplers on as soon as the wheels arrive in a couple weeks.......Ill get some pics up in a few weeks when I get it all done so keep an eye out if you want to see 33's with a 2.5 kit.

I figured it would look good and not kill my gas mileage too bad and I didnt have to regear

I don't know the exact cost on the navigation units, the dealer installed it and did not charge me for it. I believe you can get them online for under a $1,000.00. As far as mine, it works very well and the 6.5" screen looks great. You can watch DVD's on it too

. I'm itching to get a leveling kit, but I am going to have to wait or my wife might kill me.

. Only issue with it is the line in for the mp3 jack does not appear to be compatible, so I will have to get a FM tuner for my IPOD.

Thanks for the info JoeJack!

And there goes Triton again spittin' his awesome words of wisdom to the masses once again!

Thanks guys. I am thinking I will probably go with 33's or 305/70/17. Not sure what tire I am going to get yet though.

You can go with a 285x70 a 295x70 or the 305x70 which is close to 34 inches tall and use your stock wheels if you want. If you have 3.55 gears I would stick to a 33" tire. Either choice would look a lot better than the stocker's.
