fx4 or 4x4

I just bought a 05 f-250 4x4 and I also saw the fx4. I asked the salesmen what the difference is he just said it was the off road package. So i just got the 4x4 bc i plan on lifting my truck so i would be changin the tires and shocks anyways. Should i of still got the fx4, what exactly did i miss out on.

You missed out on the upgraded {cough cough} shocks, the skid plates, (although you may still have gotten that option) and the FX4 stickers.

All you missed out on was some skid plates (which you can buy separately and install) and some knock-off Rancho shocks. Since you're planning on lifting it anyway, all you missed were the plates - oh, and the Fx4 emblem.

You saved some money. None of the content of the FX4 package would carry over to your lifted truck.

Even if you didn't intend to lift your truck, the FX4 package doesn't really contain anything spectacular.

Took me only thirty minutes to get all the stickers off my truck, did that before it had 20 miles on it.

Nice and clean now

My salesmam (thanks Jeff) talked me out of the FX4 option. I had already ordered my truck with the skid plates ($86 if I remember correctly). He told me pretty much what is listed above. AT tires and rancho shocks would have cost me another $300 or so.
