Converting 4x4 to FX4!

How can I convert my truck from 4x4 to FX4 or HD...what is the major difference between them and is it worth it?.

Other than one or two skid plates, rims, different seats, rebadged shocks, and some stickers that's pretty much it.

IMO not worth going though the trouble. If you want to improve your 4x4, get a LS or locker installed and a couple of aftermarket skid plates and call it a day.

Paint the bumpers for both of them and get rough grey fender flares for FX4, smooth black flares for the HD

That's about right...buy aftermarket skidplates. The one that Ford puts on the FX4 fuel tank is plastic!
