Is there a step bar on the Fx4? That could be creating the appearance of the truck sitting lower.

Ahh, If the XLT doesn't have step bars, then there's the problem. I know when I pulled the step bars from my 03 to switch them around, the truck looked like it gained a couple inches of height.
However I have heard that the newer Fx4s do sit lower, but that was compared to the older Fx4s. |

Yeah, the newer trucks do sit lower. Like 2WD status.

I lost my '03 XLT FX4 with a run-in with a deer last month and replaced it with a new '11 Sport FX4. It's not the same truck. When I first sat in the '11, I noticed it sat lower. I checked the specs. on both trucks and found the '03 XLT FX4 sat 68.75 inches, while the '11 Sport FX4 sat 67.5 inches. Only 1.25 inches difference, but a difference I noticed right away.
The tires in the '03 were 31x10.5R15, close to 31" in diameter, while the tires on the '11 are 255x70R16 and are close to 30" in diameter. |

thats cause they stopped making FX4's. all rangers that are called FX$'s are SPORTS with an FX4 badge. thats why they sit lower.
