What are your measurements on the front vs the back?

Also how much did you pay to get the side fenders painted? Looks great!

Thanks for all the info too.

Front is 37 1/4
Back is just over 37 1/2
The stock tires I have are Michelin 265/60/18 and with 275/65/18 they will fill the fender better; I just didn't want to waste the $$ and go spend $1000 on tires. They can wait.....

The rear fenderwells were Line-X'd (along with the bed of the truck).

I just finished the keyless lock for my tailgate this morning, so I'm pretty much set up for my purposes. The only thing I'm considering is getting the USB2 hooked up to my console; I had that in another truck and it keeps everything tidy and out of view.

My 5100's for my 2010 FX4 just has 4 notches...stock, .75", 1.5", 2.25"???

I plan on using the 1.5" setting, but curious when they changed to 5 notches?

Thanks for all your info. I'm pretty set on the 5100's, just need to make sure my stock shocks have the removable seat.

What tail gate lock did you use? And you used line x on your fenders? They are not just painted?

I bought a door lock actuator off of ebay. It was about $4.00 and was easy to setup. I constructed an aluminum brace to hold the actuator in place within the tailgate, and because I have the rear view camera, I reversed it so that there were no interference issues (I'm pretty sure that's why I reversed it). It is wired to lock with the "lock" feature on the wireless key fob, and to unlock with the passenger door locks. It's pretty convenient and I don't have to wonder if I locked my tailgate when I've parked the truck.
There are a couple threads here that address this mod; here is one of them:

I had the bed Line-X'd and also had them spray the rear fenderwells. They charged $120 extra for the fenderwells.
