Finally Got my 2010 FX4 Blue Flame

Mine is no different than any other one on here with the exception of this one is mine.

I ordered the Raptor 4wd selector switch before i left the dealer, and I am thinking about ordering the raptor up-fitter switches and the mount for them.

Cant wait to get home and do the seat latch mod, the usb 2 mod, and start playing with the sync system. I hope to order he leveling kit Monday and then i can sell these tires and get some 305/55r20's

Ok i am dont with my happy rant..

awesome truck and my favorite color. Did you get the moonroof/nav package Ford is offering? This is the truck I have thought about getting for a few months....am finally made on holding off for the new engines and seeing how they hold up.

Congrats on the new truck, looks awesome!

no, I didnt have a preference on the navaigation but i did not want the moon roof or sun roof.. everyone we found with the navagation had the hole in the roof so i didnt want them.

Have a seat before getting the price on the raptor switches, i was told they are about $330...... I was going to hold off and go to the dealership my company uses to get the price.

The 4wd switch was only $31 with tax so thats not to bad. to be able to lock in the rear locker in 2wd

Love the color and the new 20's. I bet it will look great leveled with some bigger meat on those rims. I really wish they would offer blue flame on the superduties

Are you sure that all you have to do is get the raptor switch to lock the locker in 2wd. I just purchased a 2010 fx4 and would like to do the same thing but had heard that it was not that easy.

the switch will here Thursday and I will install it before i leave the dealership and report back. I should have taken the one off of my Dads 2011 SD to see if it would work because it has a similar switch as the raptor if not the same actual switch.

What leveling kit do you guys think i would use? I like the offset design of the AS but am unsure rather i should go with the 1.5, 2, 2.5, or 3" for the front. I was thinking about adding the 3" front spacer on the front and the 1.5" block in the back. I DO NOT WANT the back to look lower than the front.... If it was a Baja truck it would be ok but i don't care for the "hunkered up dog look".

I will be running 305/55/20 tires. The company I work for buys a factory set of tires no less than very 50,000 miles I have to pay the difference from stock tires to what ever up graded tires I want to run. Which will not be too bad if I get the terra grapplers. I will only have to pay about $400 extra.

I would do the 1.5" AS and 3" rear block kit. That will lift the front 2" and rear 1.5" Any more on the front and you are pushing what a spacer kit can handle vs real lift kit IMO.
