it will look good when your done... i wanna lift mine and i was pricing out a lift and tires and it will be about 1600 bucks US before the rims. thats a 6 inch lift 3" bodylift and 33" super swamper TSL bias rubber.. it gets expensive thats for sure, even though it was cheaper than i thought. haha

yeah it costs money to go higher, or lower... it all depends on how low, or high do you want to go

yeah, if you go higher, you need bigger tires

bigger tires = heavier, and takes more power to move
lower = less power to move

im actually digging it, looks pretty aggresive... to be honest, i hate the STX bumper with a passion, it would look better if ford put some sort of side skirts on it that matched the bumper, but it just looks un finished
