Some lifts yes, this one just adds spacers and can go back to factory. I still uses all original parts. I am sure it hurts the performance a little bit, but I did want the extra ground clearance. I also bigger tires and 35's that come stock have been known to rub.
I am a very impatient person and the last announcement of the delay had me shopping around for something sooner. I found a brand-new Raptor with the SCA Package at a Ford dealership out in the middle of nowhere, that they could not seem to sell. It is the 802A package, so I have the limited slip...
I had a 1991 F-150 in high school that had the high beam switch on the floor. Loved it! however, it did rust out pretty quickly. I know why they don't put them down there anymore.
I don't think Ford is requiring any kind of deposit, the dealer is. I have no problem with the dealers asking for a deposit, but if they told me Ford is making them and it isn't true... I would personally change dealers.
Honesty is the single most important thing to me when it comes to buying...
It is hard to get an idea from a forum unless you ask people close to your location. Insurance prices can be dramatically different from state to state.
I am getting the BL and just like a lot of other people, I have gone back and forth many times. I will get 35's, but will it be through Ford or aftermarket?
With the lack of dealers, I would be shocked if any of them would actually discount below MSRP. That is why X-Plan was a great option...
I bought my 2015 Mustang GT on X-Plan for that exact reason when I lived there.
