Tuna, I have a 2010 fx4. I'm looking for the correct size level kit to make it perfectly level. I don't think I want to go any higher in the back. Looks like you did 2" up front. Is that what you would recommend? On that note it looks like your AAL mod put back the factory rake so you effectively raised your 2" overall with stock rake?

Tomorrow I'll do the fender emblems.
Last week, just liner
Today
This is the Sem Solve stuff I always mention. Great prep solution

What did you use to paint it? It's the same emblem. They have a protective clear film over them (you can see it bubble up on some people's emblem) that I took time to peel off with a razor before painting. When that's off you can literally scrape the blue paint off with your fingernail. Maybe the lettering is more raised when it's removed.
