As I'm not the tallest of people, another bonus is that entry and exit of the X is much easier an takes more stress off the seat lumbar. I have a few pics but as it was a dull, rainy day they aint the best, but I'll get some better ones done shortly. Pics dont it just anyway.

Very nice Sudesh. Mild but noticeable difference:thumbup:

Thanks George! It looks mild in the pics but when its beside a stock X there is quite a difference. I'll get some pics up tomorrow beside a stock 4.6

as mentioned Sudesh nice mod. what's next? Titanium Skid Plates??:thumbup:

Looks much better!! great job!

Looks great. I've been thinking of doing the same. So you have the stock shocks still on ?

Yeah! I just replaced the front springs then lowered the rear via the DIS method. Been driving it for a ood part of today and I'm very pleased with how comfortable it is. Plus it looks so much better and easier to enter and exit!

without the roof rails...The truck looks so much betterhttp://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z...8/DSC00306.jpg

Sudesh: What's the best way for me to remove the "X5" emblem from my boot-lid? I love how clean your X is sans emblem.......
