Default 2015 Platinum 4x4 in Southern California

I recently pulled the trigger on one of these awesome trucks. It is a 2015 Platinum in pearl white with 4x4 and the 3.5 ecoboost. I plan on adding some visual upgrades and retaining the stock ride as much as possible. I bought the truck because they have awesome towing capabilities, they're very nice, and I think they are the best money can buy. I plan on towing my and my girlfriend's rzr xp 1000 pretty frequently and have been looking at toyhaulers.

So far Ive added/removed:
17" Walker Evans Wheels
33" tires
Remove rear lift block
Remove exhaust tip
Remove front air dam


Immediate plans:
Install my 2.5" front level
paint the hubs black


Future Plans include:
Air bags
Air bag compressor
4:10 gears front and rear
bilstein shocks all around (When they're released)
Hypertech speedo calibrator.


Here's the day of/after i bought:

Here's the wheel and tire install. The tires are 285/70/17. I had to get a 5mm shim because the wheel was rubbing the caliper. There is no rubbing with the new tires at stock height.

I personally love the look of having the front end an inch or so higher than the rear.
It's a whole lot better than when kids put 6" lift kits in front and take out the blocks in the rear....

I really like it also. It's nothing ridiculous. To me, the point of a lift or level is to make it look different than stock. Not exactly like stock, only an inch taller.

Whenever a truck is posted on this site that sits with the front even slightly higher, some people act like you insulted their ancestors in doing so.

That's definitely a true statement! They have no problem with them being lowered, lifted, leveled, or stock. But God forbid if the front sits a hair higher than the rear.

Maybe he meant the wheels?? In my opinion (not knowing anything about them), the wheels look cheap on this truck. By no means am I putting down your choice - just an observation/opinion. Beautiful truck though!
