OUCH!!
I've only had my Ex one week to the day. I'm 6"1 and so far I have hit my head 5 times and the rear lift hatch!
Why doesn't this thing go up any higher? The shocks on the hatch are good, the door just doesn't go any higher.
Guess I need to some bigger tires to rise my truck an inch?

If you swap the struts with ones for the 2 wheel drive model you will gain the extra headroom you need. For some reason Ford decided that the 4 wheel drive models were higher so needed shorter lift struts...go figure.

In my Cabelas marine catalog it has Whitecap struts in sizes from 7 1/2" up to 20" the outside diameter is 15mm which seems to be the same, not sure what others cost but these are 16.99
