Just looking for a little lift and still keep my angles as close to stock a possible and a more aggressive tread. I'll probably run with a 34-35. Ford dealer charging $2300 for lift, install, and alignment w/ warranty on work. Sound good?

Yeah, make sure to get the adjustable 9000xl shocks and that is like getting the install done free! The ride is surprisingly almost unchanged from stock. A little firmer and I'm sure that is partly due to tires as well. I haven't touched the shock adjusters my guess is that they are set close to the softest setting and can be firmed up.

Can you send me the number for the guy you've talked to there and information about it? I'm a student at LSU and want to get the same set up done to my truck.

I run BFG 35x12.50 P17 KM2s on my '09 FX4 with factory suspension. No lift or mod whatsoever. Pretty quiet mud tires - 12-13 mpg - decent wear if you rotate every oil change.
