Thanks for the update.
How did the lift effect your mpg? Also your towing?

Yes I'm still very happy with the set up. Just got new rear blocks that brought the back up half an inch and new springs up front also. Waiting on the new steering stabilizer that's coming out soon as well as a new pair of shocks.

I'm still using Motorcraft 15w-40 but have been thinking about switching over to T6.
Since I change before 6,000, seems like a waste though when the Motorcraft stuff is what Ford uses.

i switched to t6 because i needed an oil change, had little time, and can find both the gallon jug and the quart at walmart. whereas the mobil1 i would get the gal jug from walmart and the quart from autozone. which got ridiculous to me and i was short on time. i think i may like the t6 better

You answered a question that I was thinking about while at Walmart yesterday because I could not find the 5w40 synth from Mobil in an quart size.

I haven't checked but does Autozone carry the gallon of Mobil one?
