Here's my project. She is an '05 XLT 4x4 with the 5.4. She has come a long way since I got her and has not been a pavement princess! I have a long list of projects that I want to get done, but I am hoping to get a readylift 3" kit and get some 35" terra grapplers underneath.

Looks good! Stick with a 2.5" level though. You'll still fit 35s, but it won't tear your front end up as badly. Also look at Autospring. They're less than half the cost of Readylift and much better in my opinion.

I agree with Kent. I've got 35's under my 2.5-2" level (Depends on the day...). I had to run spacers though and cut some of the fender well out but I got em under there!

Rock crawling would freak me out
Alto has stuff like that, and trails with a crevice in the middle. Haha. I'm gonna be so nervous next weekend.

Mine has 35s with only a 2 inch Bilstein lift and I get plenty of travel with very little rubbing (on frame) when turning sharp and did no cutting. Dont go higher than 2.5 or you'll be replacing front end components every year.
Replaced the front emblem today, $30 off Fleabay
I was hoping it might be a bolt on, but 3M tape instead
Nothing really wrong w/orig, just decided to go custom
Now debating on what to do w/rear emblem....I'd like something different

Thanks for the input! I looked into the Autospring that you recommended. I will probably go with them over the readylift, mainly because of the price.
