About building an FX4 Ecoboost
High, I'm plannign on getting a 2013 FX4 Ecoboost supercrew with the 5 and half inch bed and 4.10 gears, fully loaded, But I have a question, Who makes the best lowering kit/handling mods for these trucks? Reason I'm getting this is, I'm going to import it to Turkey, and its classified as a commercial vehilce so taxes are low if the displacements under 4 litres and ecoboost fits the bill, It's fast, all weather capable, and not bad on fuel, and the fx4's murdered out look has presence, Don't judge me please for deciding to lower it, I want to make it handle a bit better 
. I'm gonna be using it basically like I would an SUV

Uhhhh. Well. More power to you. And let haters hate! I'd order higher gears if I was you, as 4.10's will eat the gas up but it's your ride, not mine. If you want to lower it, i'm not sure how many lowering kits there are for a 4x4, but you could easily do a 2" drop shackle in the rear to make it sit level with the front. Either way you go, good luck! Just one question, if you plan to have some warranty work done, who in Turkey will do it with warranty coverage? Is there a Ford dealership there? I'm assuming not if you're buying it here and having it shipped over there. Let's just hope you get one of the "good" ecoboost motors/transmission/intercoolers, and have no such said issues as many have had. :-)

. Well, if lowering it won't help with handling, What would I need to do to make it sit perfectly level at stock height and what are the biggest tires I can put on it in stock height.

Sounds awesome! I'd like to see the end result. Make sure you get the locking diff. Are you getting a black one? If so it would look sick if you got the fx appearance package because they come with black wheels. Also get lower profile tires for it. Less rotating mass the faster you will be off the line. Try a light weight drive shaft as well. They make a pretty good change. It did on my car anyways.
