Yes. Plug n Play plugs in to the OBD port under the dash. I bought mine used for $700 over a year ago and they work great. I lube the hinge points every couple of months with a silicone graphite.

I think the standards would still be doable for a 6'' lift for most people. Unless you had 37s maybe?

The XL says it drops 3" farther than the standard model.

The Y-harness for the OBD2 port is an option you have to buy, it doesn't come with the kit.

I thought they all came with LEDs?? However I didn't install the LEDs on my 2014. I got the plug and play and the pass through harnesses. The boards are cut to fit. I had to cut mine to fit my RCSB. They have plastic end caps so you can't see where they were cut.

Welcome, yeah the optional pass thru cable sure comes in handy, you don't have to unplug the boards to read codes, data, etc... and even more so now for me because my stereo has an obd2 plug for vehicle onscreen data, tire pressures, cel, charging sytem etc....

I'd have to unplug it every time I got in and out of the truck for the boards to deploy, that would get annoying pretty quick.

Ok nassty so you don’t have to install them. Awesome to know.

Pretty cool you were able to make them fit

The boards are all the same length, they state in the instructions to cut to fit. They come long enough for a screw. I left them uncut and they fit perfectly for my scab. I would imagine cutting them for a regular cab would be required or look out of place.

Morris, I just came across my receipt and the part # is AMP76141-01A.
That's a PNP standard drop (non XL) for a 09-14 F150.
I see what you mean about their site. The literature leads you to think that is the XL version, but it's not.
