New Struts

I have an 05 F150 with a Fabtech 6" lift kit. The front struts need replaced and so I am looking for any shops that will ship them to me. A friend will put them on and align them.

Also, I know people who have gotten theirs powdercoated a certain color. I want the coils pink, but I want an estimate first.

Anybody know any shops with good prices on the Fabtech struts with the coilovers & can send them to get powdercoated? Thanks!

A quick search on google should yield you some online dealers that sell the struts. As far as getting them powdercoated, it would probably be cheaper to find a local shop that does powedercoating than to ship them to a shop because shipping them won't be cheap. Just out of curiosity, what all is pink on your truck?

Thanks! I am looking into nearby powdercoating, but all I have found will send them to another state and just put them on. As of now, all I have are the Ford emblems in pink, but I am also getting the caps on the rims & the undercarriage powder coated pink. I haven't had the truck very long.

Of course! Just got a truck to haul my horse around, but decided I should add some pink to it!

Please don't make the underside pink. I'm all for adding some feminine touches, but don't overdo it. It will end up gaudy instead of tasteful. The badges and suspension components should be plenty of pink to make it stand out.

I was hoping the same thing A girl at my school got her whole silverado painted pink, and it sure does stick out from the rest of the trucks, a little too much.

I found somebody! They will powder coat them for 25$ each. That's reasonable right? Now I just have to buy them, never thought struts were 250$ a piece!

There's a black Dodge Ram 4x4 over in Clifton Forge that has some trim items hot pink and the suspension / axles / shafts hot pink .... it's hard to not notice .... even in the dark.

I can see where a lady might do it.
