I'll be a dissenting opinion
I liked your truck way way back when it was 6" of lift & the shocks on 37" tires...looked awesome
you know, like this
IMO it now looks like something you'd see in a RAP video. btw, how are you not rubbing when you drive through a driveway? looks like you'll rub on anything bigger than a curb in height. the tire is bigger than the damn fender opening is

sorry I'm not in the huge line of people kissing butt and saying how great his truck is.
He and JesseRohr had the only 2 WHITE F-150's with huge lift/tires on F-150online that ever posted. It was unique already, and alot of guys, myself included, aspired to achieve what he had accomplished
I think he took a wicked F-150 and effectively ruined it. That truck is utterly worthless as a 4x4, and is barely even a Street Queen. It has reached the point where it is barely functional to drive IMO, and is meant merely as a centerpiece for discussion and/or car shows.But I'll bow to Eff One's wishes as he so "delicately" said in Post #1..."just leave it out of this thread".
sorry to have broken convention with the rest of y'all

hha its cool dude you can argue what you want.
to be honest, i probably put more miles on my truck than you do on yours. i bought it on july 23 of 08 with 54K on it im around 87K right now. i drive it more than people may expect, i put 130 miles on it today. no issues. it rides like the 37's did. so i dont see your point in that its barley even a street queen? explain please? and just because my truck was white and lifted and me and jesse were the only two that posted does NOT make it unique there are like 3-4 other white lifted f150's right around here. if you ever come out to chicago, you can take a ride in this with me, after tonight you would be surprised how many people turned heads talked to me ect. nothing like it was two nights ago on 37's/ i barely got noticed. now its like im the king of the road, so for attention grabber its the boss.
i dont see in any way how this is going to mess me truck up and not make it mearly a talked about truck at a show. thats for when i airbag it.
my dreams for the truck are to be radical and different. and thats the direction its heading.
As for the gap gaurds, i thought i would go a little more custom, im going to make a u channel out of aluminum and dimple dye it every six inches and then brush it, see how it looks. if it turns out how it looks in my head it will rock.
thanks everyone though i appreciate the kind words!

and to comment on the driveway question, i do not rub at all, how many times have you driven into your driveway, with stiffer than stock off road suspension and had your wheel stuffed into the wheel well? my tire would literally need to travel 9-10 inches to be stuffed into the wheel well.

Looks good! Its not my taste, but for the look that you are going for it does look very good! The only thing that I would do is put some nerf bars on or something to cover up the frame rails.
