In my area where i live i have never seen any. One day a couple months ago i was at the dealer and i asked why i never see any with that bodystyle (5 1/2 bed on supercab). I was told that is the bodystyle Ford produced the least of... The frame of my truck is the same one on the reg cab 6ft bed... So i guess there just isnt that many of them... I guess rare isnt the right word, but i have still never seen that bodystyle.

Im glad you brought that up. People kept telling me that they didnt like the stickers so i took them off. The only sticker i left is Honda sticker on driver back window, it is small and you cant really see it anyway. Got to represent Honda also
2004 Honda R12X Turbo. 4cyl, 4stroke, 201hp at maxboost.

A buddy of mine that works at the Ford Plant here in Norfolk painted my grill, trim, etc. But I had a paint shop give me a price of $800 for grill, trim, wing, etc, and that was ME sanding and prepping it all first...

I thought the Supercabs had a 6' (or 6.5'~ I forget) bed on it, and the 5.5' was only on the SuperCrew (Due to the extra foot in cab length, and the retained overall vehicle length between SuperCrew & SuperCab.)
Either way, that's a damm-fine piece of hardware you got there!

Nah thats why i originaly called it ''rare''. My truck is a supercab with the supercrew bed. (5 1/2ft) I have still to this day not seen another one, and that is VERY suprizing due to how many Fords i see on the road... I like your truck also

Thanks

Actually yes, i was told that when i get the ''low profile'' tires the truck was going to not ride as well. That wasnt the case though, the FX4 already has a stiff suspension setup so the low pro tires didnt really change the ride much... The one thing that did change alot is the way the truck corners, the low wide tire does not have any sidewall flex and takes corners much better now than when stock.
As far as gas miliage... I only put about 300miles on truck before it went into shop for customizing so i really dont know how gas miliage was affected...
