Default Brian's FX4

New to the site. I wanted to share with everyone my little build. Basically 2011 FX4 ecoboost. I have had it almost 1 year. Since then I have done mild add on's. Window tint, headlight/foglight upgrades, puddle light and interior lights all changed. Few months ago decided to put a 6 in rough country lift with bilsteins and 35 in trail grapplers mounted on 20x10 dropstars.

Looks good was wondering how the ride? Was looking at the same lift but not many people have the Rough Country lift or just don't respond.

Ride was horrible when I first put it together. Come to find out my tire guy forgot to lower the pressure after he mounted the tire and the pressure was still at 65psi. I lowered that to 35 and I think it rides as good as factory. I put the bilstein 5100 up front and left it at 0, besides that everything else is from rc. Going on 3 months with it on with no complaints.

Default Wheel Offset

Couple photos of how the much the tire sticks out. These are 20x10 with -19 offset.

LOL. You must have been reading my mind that was the next question I was going to ask you was what offset you have. But you answered that for me

I drive pretty agressive and was getting 13.5-14 factory. My gauge shows me getting 11-11.5 now but not sure how accurate that really is. I am hoping to get a programmer so I can get the tire sized changed and hope it fixes mpg and mph gauges.

Good looking truck, really like those rims.

I have the 5.0 with a 6" and 35"s and i get right around 12.5mpg with my speedometer re-calibrated. Not sure what gearing you are running.

Looks great! I was also looking at a set of wheels with -19 offset. Can you post a pic of the tires pulled back from those pics you posted. To get a better idea of how they sit? would appreciate it if you could. Enjoy your new ride.
