eBay seller $400 with free shipping. The listing stated they didn't include the blis modules but they were in there when I received them so I didn't need to do the plexiglass part.

pigtails were $21 each at auto nation.

I sold my old taillights already for 75 bucks so all in the deal was fairly inexpensive.

Mods I just completed...

fixed the issue with my paddle shifters... back to fully operational

got my performance tune in

installed the CAI

installed BBK throttle body

installed catch can (don't hate)

additional parts I have in my garage to install... got the ford performance rear diff cover. Thought it'll look cool when you see it from behind in the lifted truck.

since I'll be taking the diff cover off and draining all the fluid I went and bought 3.73 gears so I may get those installed next weekend which leads me too....

once the gearing is done I'll be selling my 33s and 35s and buying 37s and raising the truck up to 6" and biting the bullet and cutting the crash bars.

fender flares will be next and then we'll see!

So got my 3.73 gears installed, everything looks good except... because I'm an idiot for a multitude of reasons this happened...

it's -8 degrees out I was working kind of fast and didn't realize I reinstalled the stock diff cover until after I poured in the fluid. Stupid. Guess that'll be an install for another day or perhaps never now lol.

next stupid thing I did was sell my 35s. I flipped flopped on lifting too much higher and now I just bought another set of 35s and have a buyer lined up to take my 33s next Thursday. I lifted my fox shocks to 1" and now the truck is perfectly level.

went with kumos 35x12.5r20.

after reading another thread I also intend to trim my air dam and get that put back on since I haven't been liking the look of it off and I've had a hit to the mpgs as well.

Gear swap, nice! How’s it feel compared to before?

Clearance for days! This is full lock prior to raising up my front end with the fox shocks. There was no rubbing. Keep in mind in this photo I also have the air damn removed so I can't say for certain that you wouldn't have to trim the dam but because I know a lot of you guys like me tear apart the internet looking for truck/lift/wheel combinations just for reference again this is 35x12.5R20 with 0 offset 20x9.

I haven't really been able to put it through the paces yet to be honest. This last couple weeks have been murderously cold and icey. Early impressions with the 33s to 35s is that I feel no "power loss" like I had in my old 2015 f150 scab when I threw on the heavy tires. It makes me happy knowing if after these tires start winding down that if I still have this truck I can buy 37s and be good to rock and roll. I'll keep everyone updated if I do a little more driving next week.

What did you do to fix your paddle shfiters? I followed instructions for the 17s nut it won’t work. Thanks.

Default Fox coilovers

Are the front Fox coils set at factory ride height on top of the 4" Rough Country lift?

in these photos yes they are reduced to factory ride height. Currently they are at 2"... But I've made another choice and am going to order the 6" Fox coilovers and sell these. Not due to ride quality as I've been extremely happy, but more so for performance if I do decide to ever take the truck off roading and aesthetics.
