Thanks for the pioneering of the raptor 4wd switch. Anxiously awaiting your findings!

The lift is installed..... Thank you Auto Spring....

Total time to install rear 3" blocks.. 12 minutes. (truck was already on lift and transmission jack was close by)

total time to install front 2.5" spacers 30 minutes. (truck was already on lift and transmission jack was close by)

The hardest part was getting the stut back into the hole without taking anything else apart..

the only things i disconnected were the:
upper ball joint nut
sway bar nut (bottom of bushing)
Tie Rod nut
bottom strut bolt
top 3 strut bolts.

When we put the truck on the alignment rack the toe was way out of wack but everything else was good.

The Auto Spring 2.5" spacers measure about 1 5/8", not to worry though because from the ground to the fender measured 38" before now its sitting at 40 3/4. The rear block raised the rear from 40 1/4" to 42 1/4. i will have some pics up when we get back from Galveston.

Congrats on the Blue Flame FX4. I bought a 09 Blue Flame FX4 in January of 09. I see that you are from Call. I am guessing you were the Blue FX4 that passed me on 96 N between Kirbyville and Jasper a couple of weeks ago.

possibly so, I remember seeing one that was charcoal on the bottom, was that you? My red 04 FX4 had the charcoal on the bottom and I loved the color combo. There is one in lumberton i have seen that is just like mine and a few xlt's are around Beaumont area but very few FX4's

Yes, Charcoal or Sterling Grey tutone on the bottom to be more exact pulling a trailer that day. There are not that many Flame Blue FX4's out there.
