looks great, some grey FX2 head and tail lights would match your lower two-tone grey and would complete the exterior look...IMO.

Thanks again all! I was really hoping my AMP steps and BakFlip would have arrived this week too, but nothing yet. I'll have to post those pics once I have the extra mods on.

hehe...yeah, my old 08 F250 was definitely my inspiration for my 09 F150 since both had the white two-tone FX4.

Agreed, the tow mirrors fit the f150 better to me then those...either way you got to get rid of those ugly orange reflectors.

nice ride

Hey there,
how are you getting along with the Rancho lift kit? I am thinking of installing it myself (currently have a 2.5" front levelling kit) and want to raise the truck just a bit more.
Does it affect any drive train - any of the Traction / Stability Controls?
Nice looking truck!

Simply beautiful... Love it. When I scrape the cash together, the 4" rancho is the direction I am going.

Loving the truck... White was my #2 pick!!!

That looks excessively clean. Some mods look downright cheesy but everything you've done is tasteful and looks awesome. The grill looks custom and professional, the lift is perfectly matched the the tires and level, all around EXCELLENT! Nice job!

The Rancho system drives great. Still has a really nice ride even with the stiffer 5000 offroad shocks. The system maintains the correct CV and driveshaft angles, as well as location of the rack and pinion steering and tie rod ends. I really like the one piece subframe member....really solid. And the system does not affect the traction/stability systems. So far, it's been great with absolutely no rubbing or trimming at all (also a function of my wheel/tire setup). I highly recommend the Rancho system.

I was really tossing around the Flame Blue too. Ford really came out with some great colors!

Damn dude, that looks great. That is the exact combo I was looking at except with all black addicts. What back spacing did you go with on the wheels?
