My 2010 FX4....what do you think?

I bought this truck earlier in the year and finally put my new wheels and tires on. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks about the looks and if you have and suggestions? I have one picture now, but I will upload some more. I have all the mods listed on my garage page.

Awesome! Love the wheels

Remove the chrome steps, harley heads & tails and you are good!

Oops.. replace the mirror reflectors with blanks from the XL.

Man, that looks great. I have the same truck and am trying to do the same thing! So you put a 2" level in the front and 1" in the rear. Did you replace the stock block in the rear with one that was 1" bigger or did you just add a 1"? I see you have 34.4" tires. Any issues? Any rubbing or major problems? My Harley tails are on the way and I'm working on the exhaust. Using black tips.

are those side steps stock? I checked your garage and didn't see anything listed about them.

Thank you for the suggestions! I was wanting to get a little dark light fixtures and wasn't sure what to buy.

Yes 2" in the front and 1" in the back. For the back I made a 1" steel block that I bolted to the original. With the tires I had to cut a 45 degree angle on the front lower plastic( not even noticeable). It didn't rub anywhere else. but it is close in the back of the front wheel( about a 1/4" clearance). I did notice the traction control issue some have mentioned due to the leveling kit, but I'm going to take it in tomorrow to get the speedometer recalibrated and to have them do the tc/abs update....hopefully that will solve that. Also, the tires ride smooth with no extra noise imo.

That...is downright sexy. Usually don't like black trucks, but that--I would be extremely proud to drive that around town

If you're referring to the running boards, yes they're stock.

Yeah I like the black, it looks dam good! Although I would go with the darker headlights and taillights also black running boards but im thinking I would paint the stock fender flares the exact same color as the truck so they match also! I think that would look good myself!

Awesome. I was torn between the 305/55/20 and the ones you went with. Wasn't sure if they'd fit without problems. Are they close to any of your front suspension components? Man, it looks good. Where are you from? I hate to basically copy your exact truck!
