Arrow New X owner needs advice

I just bought a 01 limited 2wd and love it! Any ideas to give me a sportier look? Everything right now is factory. I'm mainly interested in lift, but only maybe 4 inches. I don't know anything about lift kits. Would a set of rear air shocks alone help? Any & all replies will be appreciated.

Congratulatins on your new X! You just bought one of the best vehicles ever! As far as the air shocks are concerned, all I know is that it prevents your rear end from sagging when you tow. Other than that, I'm clueless.

Having moved from my 4x2 7.3l Ex into the 03 maybe I can tell u what help my 4x2...

FIRST !!!!
get a rear hellwig sway bar if it doesn't have a rear bar...
will MAKE it sportier, not just look sportier
next consider a bull bar or something out front to put some more lights on the road...

then a programmer to again, make it more sporty !

that's a good start .....

good luck with it... u gonna luv this thing !
