Overall impressions, ride is great but man, gonna take me a minute to get used to slower off-the-line speed. I haven't floored it yet but my (known feeling of) casual acceleration that I'm used to has obviously changed.

We used to have a 2005 F-150 with 6" fabtech lift, and it's great to feel that lifted big truck feeling again.

As others have shared with very similar setup (mainly offset and wheel/tire width), I have no issues with crash bars, nor at my UCA, which I was pretty worried about. However, the front tires do clip the bottom rubber valance at full turn so I'm deciding on whether I will trim or just remove it.

Won't worry about range until I take my next road trip (fretting the next winter one ).

Damn, they are proud of those!
But as you said, don't pay attention to the MSRP...

Cool - so you're riding about 3" higher?

That is almost the front level alone...add going from 33" stock tires to 35", I'm pretty sure north of 4" in the front (but I didn't measure). My step-stool is needed for drying the hood in multiple areas I could reach before (6'2" here).
