Dumb question, but why do you want to lift a 2WD pickup? Is it for a 4x4 look with big tires, or do you have other plans.

I don't know how long you have had your truck. But there are some really great deals on trucks right now with all the stuff your looking for. I have a friend who just purchased an 07 f150 fx2 super crew,5.4 triton,loaded with 20 inch wheels for $14,000.00.. the deals are great right now my friend.

Not a dumb question. It is a street queen. I've always wanted a lifted truck and unfortunatly when we were buying my truck last September what I have is all we could afford. I love my truck, just want to make it look a little meaner!

I know it stinks for me!! I saw yesterday I could get the exact $31,000 truck I wanted for the same price I paid for mine a year ago. Unfortunatly in doing that I'd have to break even on mine which I don't think I could do cuz its pretty much bone stock.

Woops on the reversal of the pickup bed descriptions. Thats to those who corrected that.

It was a test; just wanted to see if anyone paid attention. All of you passed!

Nothin wrong with makin a 2wd look mean...Ill post some pics of my 05 STX that i fixed up a little bit. If you still have the stock 17 inch rims on it, the easiest quick and probably cheap fix is to try and get some of the tires and wheels off the FX4. I did that and between the 18 inch wheels and tread pattern on the tire it really beefed it up in my opinion.

They were $95 thank you very much and I was only 18 when i did it. Give me a break ill spend the extra cash now and get the real thing lol Thanks for comment though

Honestly, I dont know why, but my Red Ford emblem was my favorite and cheapest part of the truck. I guess its because I never saw another one in my city with it like that.
