Does anyone else get crap tons of people asking you if they are after market?

I polished mine up a but and made them look a bit shinier and i have people every other day asking me where i got them and they look killer.

A Guy yesterday in my welding class asked me about it and i just said no Ford just makes bad *** control arms, unlike dodge huh? (he owns a Ram) I felt like a Badass haha.

Just thought id bring it up!

Peace

I beleive they are the beefiest out there. I peeked under an 09 Lariat 4x4 at a local dealer and they are painted black on the 09's, still looked beefy though.

 

Same here . Severaly people have asked me if they came with the lift . All I did was wash then with wheel cleaner . LOL

 

SandStone... Where did you get your lower bumper grill??



AirAid modular intake tube, K&N filter, Magnaflow Exhaust, Line-X'd bed and fender wells, 2.5 Inch AS Level Kit and 3 inch AS Rear Block, 1 Mile range Viper 5900 SST remote start and alarm system, JL Audio Stealthbox, JL Audio 500/1, JL Audio 300/4, Alpine Type-R 6.5 inch components in front doors, Alpine Type-R 5x7's in rear doors, Alpine Iva-w505, LOTS of Dynamat, 15% Tinted windows, Billet Grills in factory H-bar and lower bumper.

 

it looks like a Roush Grille that got chopped up.. I'd like to know how he mounted it up though..

anywho.. I have a 6" ProComp.. you can see I'm a fan of spray paint though! my crossarms are black..

 

yea my tires have rubbed nice polished spot's on mine any ways i would like to add i looked under an 09 f150 yesterday and they were painted black STEEL and did not look nearly as "beefy" it was a 2wd so that might have contributed to it idk ...

 

If someone asks you.... just blankly stare at them for a good 1-2 minutes, maybe blinking once. Then walk away slowly. After awhile, just shake your head. Gets the point across !

 

You know what's funny... for '09 Ford switched from Aluminum to Steel lowers and Dodge switched from Steel to Aluminum lowers...

 

i like the look of the aluminum just because its so much beefy'er the steel just dose not look as significant.

 

X2... I actually make a point of making them shine!! Along with the skid plate!

It's a nice contrast IMO....

The aluminum does not hold up as well as something like steel, at least I would think. The aluminum is relatively soft, I've seen rocks to some damage to mine putting gashes here and there. But YES I have had at least 2 people ask me if they were aftermarket.
