Thanks for the kind words!

Here is one of the '85. The '90 is a mess right now and for whatever reason I never got any pics of it when it was together. It will be again though...

Wow thats nice and clean !
Not a lot of nice ones up here in Michigan, thanks to the rust.....

Here is a pic of my truck, so you can visualize yours leveled with bigger tires.

Your truck pic is already making it tough for me to not call about a set of 20's on Craigslist...

Quick question, I'm sure I could find it if I scoured some threads; What route did you take in leveling yours? I'm thinking Bilstein 5100's or the Eibach E60-35-037-06-10 are the way to go. I haven't seen any reviews on the Eibach's yet but they are generally a supplier of quality components and the Bil's are on deep space intergalactic back order, so...

Oh, I forgot, I also want to add tow mirrors but the price is keeping me out of the market right now. I know I could go aftermarket, but I really like the auto-dimming feature on the drivers side. My old Lincoln was like that too. Also considering a remote start with telematics via phone. There are some really easy to install and affordable options out there which have caught my eye.

You're totally right, clean Fox's are getting tough to find everywhere...

I did a 2.25" level from ready lift.
I had bilstein' s on my last truck a F-250 and liked them.

+1 for Bil's in general. I've got them on the front of my beater '97 Dodge Ram 2500 regular cab long box 2wd and they ride great.

The Ready Lift is spacers alone? Did it change the ride any? I realize your's is 4wd so I'm not expecting a direct comparison to mine but what did you notice?

Phil48315

I put the level and tires on with only 85 miles on the truck.
The ride didn't change much, but the tires are E-rated with stiffer side walls which made the truck ride better.

less squishy/ spongy feeling....

10-4. That's a great tip/reminder about the load range.

Thanks for all the input!
