I just had a set put on. Leveled the front and the ride is night and day in a good way. Over bumps I’m no longer bouncing around and it’s not jarring.
Made an offer... picking them up on Friday. Stoked!

Good news from UPS, tune arrives today. Hope to have time for install tomorrow.
Awesome! I installed mine a little over a year ago and have never looked back. It'll make you wonder why you waited so long. :rockon:

Curious about those with the Ford performance tune, I always heard it is supposed to make Drive not skip gears?

It definitely installed the tune though so maybe they changed it on newer revisions of the tune or I misread people online. Day 3 with the tune and while normal drive does shift a little better, the skipping gears and trying to get into 9th at 50mph means I will be sticking with sport or tow/haul mode while daily driving.

Mine still skips a few low gears and gets to ninth at 50 when driving easy, not a bad thing. Mine took about a week to adjust to my driving style. After a week or 2 (I don't drive a lot) it got really nice to drive. My initial impression was I was not impressed. Now I love it.

Yes, my Ford Performance tune still skip gears if driven easy. If I give it the beans, It runs so much better than stock and the shifting is a lot better with the tune. I am very happy with it. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I guess it is normal then. Just had me scratching my head.

Since tow/haul is what I drive in 80% of the time, comparing the tune in Tow/Haul is very noticeable. Sport mode being the other 20% also got a lot better. Drive is better than stock drive but I guess just not enough to maybe replace my favorite drive modes.

Regarding power though, that is very noticeable. I opened it up on the freeway today and it pulls nicely through out the RPM range now. Stock, even with intercooler, charge pipes and downpipe still fell flat over 4500rpm. Not any more!
