    Hey everyone, i'm new to the thread and I just got my 2004 FX4 Flareside in January and love it. I upgraded from a 99 Ranger and will never go back down in size. I am running completely stock right now, but i'm always looking for suggestions for upgrades, especially exterior for looks but always looking to get better performance as well. I haven't seen many Flaresides on this forum and would love to see some more pics of anybody else's flareside especially with upgrades.

    I would definitely love to lift it eventually and put some 35s on or something. as far as leveling goes, what do you guys recommend. Also, i like the window tint idea, i've thought about that as well just don't know what i want to do first! lol

    PS: i'm not wealthy enough for a lift just yet, college kid here, lol. I'm planning on saving up little by little to eventually put it on, but for now i'm looking to do a little more minor, less costly upgrades/modifications/additions

    you can get a 2.5" hell bent steel level kit for about $75. pretty easy to install if you have a basic knowledge of suspension.
