So I had guy email me to trade his truck and cash for mine. 2001 white crew cab 5.4 xlt. 5.4 auto with 80k on them. 200 on the body. Some rust in the rockers..not terrible but will need attention. K&n, edge programmer, 35" tires, 6" RCX suspension lift, rebuilt front and rear diffs with 4:56 gears, new brakes and wheel bearings. Think I'm gonna do it. It gets me into four doors for the kids and back into an F150.

Do it!!! Lots of people have the rcx with no issues. Just make sure he didnt beat the hell out of it. Probably need new shocks if he hasnt already ive heard multiple reviews on how terrible the rcx shocks are.

It also has a 2" body lift that has to go. That's way too much height for me.

Real curious how that pans out. Interested with why your doing that..is the engine built? I know a little history behind the coils, the new ones have solid connectors correct? Like Granitelli. Why are you running hotter plugs tho ? Are you blown, - have head work...stage 2?

EFX have solid connectors. running hotter plug due to higher compression and E85. Its runs better in the cooler temps with hotter plugs.
