Default 2015 Platinum FX4 Build

I've been reading through all the different forums and have found a few that really helped answer my questions so I thought I would pull my build together to hopefully help anyone with the same questions.

Ordered 6/26/2015: 2015 Platinum Tuxedo Black Supercrew FX4 with Heavy Duty Tow Package & 3.5 ecoboost

Expected Delivery Date: still TBD (quoted 6-8 weeks)

Here is what I have settled on and ordered so far:

Fuel Throttle D513 20x9 +20mm Wheels http://www.fueloffroad.com/wheel.cfm?id=2566
Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/65/20 http://www.nittotire.com/light-truck...ht-truck-tire/
Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit (I measured a 3" rake on a stock 4x at the dealer) so I'm not planning on touching the rear. http://www.roughcountry.com/leveling...hicle_year=340

The one thing I did learn is that the tires have pressure sensors and if you are looking for a deal online make sure that they include new sensors. I ordered the wheels and tires from Americas Tire and they will swap the factory sensors. Total out the door price from Americas Tire using the factory sensors was about $200 cheaper than I could find the package online with new sensors.

I will update the build with photos as available.

40 days since date of order, production has begun but for some reason the expected delivery date has pushed out 3 days. Also, the date on cotus does not match the date my dealer sees on his system. He has a delivery window of 8/21-8/27.

Here's what you do:

Go to the liquor store.
Select one bottle of Jack Daniels "Fire"
Go home
Drink that bottle.
Sleep
Wake up and get truck.

I believe this is the fastest way to get your truck.
