that looks freaking amazing man, the PTM and grill make one hell of a difference

 

Thank you. Think it would look better with the grab handles, and 09+ badges PTM?

 

no, id leave the 09 badges and grab handles their own color. i dont like all black trucks, there too common these days, id leave some stuff chrome it gives it a good contrast

 

id do just as photoshopped pic is sayin, maybe you could photoshop some more lift into?

 

I too don't want a completely blacked out truck. Need to have some accents.

Like a 2" level or 4" Rancho lift? The 33s on this unleavened truck look like 34s compared to my old truck. I do plan to level, Rancho QuickLifts. If I was ever to lift suspension it would be a Rize 8" on 37s & 20s, 4.56 gears. I'll probably do that to my next F150 a few years from now.

 

even a 2" level will trick the eye, iirc you can use the lasso tool and cut the entire truck then raise it. and clone stamp underneath to fill the gap, btw thats some sweet PS skills.

 

Here is a back end view, 4x4 decals also removed, and the handles buckets PTM, still chromed grab bars.

 

I have just always lasso'd the wheel and painted the original background area. Works well. I did it earlier, here is the result for a level.


While I was at it, did a 6" lift for kicks, looks goofy on 33s but it works as a PS attempt. I'll just direct link it.

Nice!! i wish i still had PS on my desktop. i like the 6" it doesn't look too shabby. its weird how much classiness the delet of the 4x4 adds

 

Man, Darren, the photoshopped pics like good! I like the black PTM on the bumpers and running boards, top mirror half, new F-150 badges, Harley grille, HELL everything looks good! Its perfect. I say do it!

 

Nice looking truck it's the Exact setup I was shopping for and couldn't find around here so bought my 03.

 

Thanks man. As the money comes haha. Getting Harley heads soon, then going to save for the grill, and for a rear bumper. I'm lucky I have a '06 - '08 primed bumper in the garage ready to go. Bought that as a conversion for the old truck but traded in before I bought the rest of the parts.

 

Well get it painted then!

 

What did those bumpers set you back ? Are they OE?

 

I bought the front bumper for $150. I need to buy a rear next. It is not OEM, but it is of the same quality of OEM states my local Ford dealer body shop manager.
