Damn fine looking X bud! Have you seen or know of a decent priced lockers? I haven't purchased yet but I know a guy who builds custom bumpers. Sweet looking and the rear has a spare tire (solid) swing gate. The front can be setup with a winch or lights or both.

Thought I'd quote it just so we could all look at it some more. That X is very nicely done.
Stock gears bud. Truly I'm really impressed. All I lost was fuel economy. It's really pretty impressive the power I do have. Using my Supertuner I set it in performance mode. I can bark the rears from a dead stop when the conditions are perfect. (I.e. no a/c, fan, extreme power draw)
I was able to tow a 12k lb (weighed it before I hooked up) dump trailer like it was nothing. Remember the 6.8l power band is between 35 and 4500 rpm. I'm thinking of adding a supercharger and mid to med cams next.
Which one of the stock gears, there were two. . I'm assuming from your report that your rig has the 4.30 gears if its still fun to drive with the 37"s.
boy i really like some of these lifts. mine is still stock height with some 33's on it but i am wanting to go higher. i originally wanted to do a 6 inch lift with 37's but after seeing some of the bigger ones i kinda want to go bigger. i have a good idea how big mine would be with a six inch lift and 37's because at one time i owned an 04 f350 with a 6 inch lift and 37's. i was wondering if any of you kind gentlemen or ladies with the 8 inch skyjacker or bds lifts or the 10 inch bds lift would be so kind as to post a picture or pictures of you excursion with you or someone or something standing beside it so i could get a height reference as to how big it would be. i am 5'8 and my wife is 5'4. i didn't want to go to big and i also have a boat to tow. my excursion is a 2000 limited with the 7.3 and 4x4. thank you for any help or pictures posted
How did you get that steering wheel so nice? need to replace mine
There are 1,539 posts before yours. You haven't quoted any of the posts so I gotta ask, to whom is your post directed when you ask about a steering wheel?
Just got mine back with Xs and Mod-Cs. Also had adjustable track bar, Bilsteins, Hellwig rear bar, and all poly bushings. I am still rolling on the stock rubber but new shoes are next. I also installed all the LEDs and HIDs myself and it was worth every cent and a snap install.
I see lots of big Ex's, so were do you hide the spare? I have not found or seen any good rear bumpers with a spare tire carrier. I only have 35's and cant imagine having one on the roof. Really liking the sub box were the spare is...Got some creative juices flowing when I seen that!

Looking good Jay! Nice lift and a very clean rig with a great shine!
How big of a tire are you planning? And what gears does your V-10 EX have?
Remember that taller tires will reduce the effective ratio and rob you of performance, it will be even more obvious if you tow at all. I you do tow heavy it may be time to consider new deeper gears to go with the soon to be bigger rubber.
