F.Y.I. if your truck is an 04, than it's not dark blue pearl. That color was not available until 07 on the 150's. The 04-5-6's got true blue.

My 2005 FX4 SCrew was True Blue Metallic. That'd be the same color your 2004 is. Check out my gallery under the "Wife's Trucks" section. The blue SCrew in the back ground is my 2005. The True Blue has a hint of purple in it.

My 2007 FX4 SCrew is Dark Blue Pearl Coat. It's a very rich "liquid" color without the purple/metallic look of the True Blue. Dark Blue Pearl Coat has a cult following at the local car painting joints. It's very popular to repaint the rice racer cars with it.

2.5 AS, 3" AS block is a great start. Wheels/tires, tuff one! I have the factory 20's/Pirellis that I am going to set aside, I am going with stock FX4 18's with the 35x12.50 bfg km2. I also like the the look of 35x12.50x20 Toyo MT's on the factory 20's that others have. I am old school and the 20's, while great looking, are a bit to bling bling for me. I have the TT mirrors too and I love em.

sweet lavadog..i love that setup.. except i would prob go with bfg km2's.. what is your lift setup?? ive been looking for that style step bar.. where did you get them??

im going for the BLUE on BLACK look... i think im goona keep my factory 18's , instead of wasting another 1000$$ on 20's..
im debating FX2 grill, or 08 factory PTM H-Bar grill or just leave it black... what do yall think?? im getting the harley lights for sure now.

www.newtakeoff.com has complete sets for screws for $350 and they are real ford covers. Why pay the dealer a grand, save yourself 650 bucks and do it yourself.
