Those look great! I wish they weren't so pricey...I'd be putting a set on mine. That would work great for towing the camper.

I agree they do look a little big even on a Super Duty let alone a F-150. You are right though, I've driven a new F-450 and you sure can see a lot in them. Just put a lift and tires on your truck to bring it back into proportion. LOL

Too much surface area for chrome, but I think that they would look good ptm.

The PTM ones I saw only had the top part (part higher than where they mount to the truck) painted, so the chrome is probably the same.
