Look what showed up today 
So one thing to note, there was no manual included with the SCT X4. Not sure if there isn't one, or someone messed up. So I had to jump right in. I hopped in the truck, took the Diablo tune off, and plugged in the SCT. First impression: this thing is FAST! It boots up, backs up, and writes a tune probably 3x faster than the Diablo Intune. The LED screen is awesome and navigation is extremely fast. I connected it to my wifi just to make sure there were no updates. Then, I put the 87 Performance/Tow tune on it. I looked through the settings and I noticed it said that the tire size was "stock size." Not being sure if it was written into the tune (I specified tire size on the calibration sheet), I went ahead and wrote the tune. It took about 4 minutes to write and I was ready to give her hell. Immediately I noticed this was a brand new truck. Seriously night and day difference. I also quickly noticed that the speedo was dead on (awesome job 5 Star
). Throttle response is better, get up and go is better, and I noticed it stays in 5th gear now around town. I then jumped on the highway to let her loose. Man, just awesome. Soooooo much better than what I have been driving around with. And this is just the 87 tune. I am going to run this tank of gas down and probably try a tank of 93 after this.
For anyone contemplating this setup...DO IT!!

talk to me about your level... that is EXACTLY the look/stance I want on either an FX4 or KR. Since I live in Houston, I dont need a 4-6"+ lift kit. I just want good ground clearance for when I take it to my land in east Texas. Thanks for your input and great job on the mods!!! To be honest, at first glance, I couldnt even tell the wheels were stock once you paired them with your tires.
I was the same way. I didn't really want a lift and this allowed me to clear an almost 35" tire. Someday I might do a 4" lift, but this works for now.

Look what I found 
Got them installed and working right after work today. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until it is dark to get to see just how good they are. Until then, here is a teaser:
