Cody- looks great. 
He does have the 5.4. It could be lighter and using a heavier spring pack.

yeah it is a 4 inch kit and Thanks Irish, mike and bentley!, Its because of the heavier spring pack with the 5.4 like bentley said. and mike it does sit lower in the rear, but I'm going to be raising the rear end a bit more by replacing my factory block with a 1 ton block. and the clearance doesn't look like much in the pictures but I'm not even close to rubbing or anything

Cody the truck looks great man. I still have yet to see you driving around town, granted I'm not in town much anymore. We should get our trucks together for a meet up and photoshoot lol.
And if and when you tune go with 5star! I have nothing but positive things to say about them and their customer service is the best I have seen. With our trucks and gearing you won't see a ton of improvement as far as acceleration goes, but everything else improves night and day. I can show you the difference some time if you want. I will swap back to stock and then go to a tune so you can feel and see the difference in drivability and performance. And now that I'm running solely premium fuel I am getting 13mpgs vs 10mpgs on regular. Without a tune I get 8 or 9.

And I was thinking 5star to, I'm definitely going with it now! I'd love to get back up on Mpgs because since I put the tires on it went down for sure! Just send me a text if you want to do this sometime, I think it sounds like fun haha!

Mines more of a 6" kit actually because I don't have the diesel so technically i have the 6". And I have no complaints either. Customer service is very helpful too.

Truck came out good it does look high for a 4 inch kit. Does it sit level or is it a little low in the rear. You may want to think about lowering the bumper a bit looks like it's pretty tight to the fender especially on the drivers side. You don't don't want the truck flexing when going over uneven surfaces and pushing them together. There are small bolts on the bottom of the headlights that when you can get a socket on them to be a good place to put it and give it the right clearance.
