What size alternator

What size alternator came in an 04 f150 fx4? The reason I ask is cause I bought 2 130 watt procomp off road lights last night and am wondering now if these are to big for my alternator. They wont me on alot just everyonce in a while.

I believe it's a 130AMP alternator, but since you're only running them once in awhile, I wouldn't worry about it. Several people have added lights and amps, etc., without any issues.

What he said.

You should be fine, unless idling with them on for extended periods.

I thought our trucks had a 110 amp alt. Or at least that's what is listed in the rockauto parts list.
