truck is lookin great! i too thought this one was gonna get dropped though lol

 

I just installed the HD tails.. And I really need to paint the rear wheel wells black ASAP!

 

looks real good

 

Lookin good!

 

Looking really good, I think those tails look great.

 

i did that on my white gmc and it made a big difference.

 

Awesome truck man!

Just curious, do you know what the offset/backspacing is on your wheels, along with the width? Also, you added the block in the rear with new shocks, hows your ride now? Stock VS 3" block?

I know you said originally you did the 1.5" block, but isn't the factory block 1 5/8"? Meaning it would lower the rear end .125" with a 1.5" block replacement? Also, where are you getting your blocks from? Im going to put a block and new shocks on my truck is why im asking. Thanks in advance!

 

My wheels are 22x9.5 and +18 offset. My new truck is 2wd and didnt come with a rear block. Im not 100% on the OEM 4x4 block but I thought it was 1.5". I also have 2" blocks that I will have installed next week but am waiting for my shocks to get delivered so I can have them installed at the same time. I bought my 1.5" blocks from a local suspension shop but I bought the 2" blocks with U bolts off of Ebay for $80 + Shipping.

Do you have a 4x4? If so a 2" leveling kit + 3" blocks (Ebay) would work out great.. You can add new shocks if you want but the OEM 4x4 shocks would probably be fine with the 3" block.

 

Looks good. I would've loved to seen it dropped but still a sexy truck nonetheless. Black trim on white = AWESOME.

 

where and how much did u find those side f150 badges for....ive been wanting to black mine out just scared to mess them up

 

I like your new signature! This is one of my favorite threads on here.

 

A couple more photos..

I installed the 4x4 lower bumper valance but didnt put the tow hooks on yet.. Probably will do that later today.


A couple close photos of the badges painted black and the mirror reflector tinted with NiteShades.

 

how did you do the blacked out badges? just removed them? how did you go about cutting the adhesive behind them? how did you re-attach them?

also, did you paint your mirror plastics black? ive tried everything i can think of to make mine black and all ive got is this odd color dark dark khaki grey

 

truck looks awesome man! i'm just wondering if you ever considered painting your badges white to match your door and tailgate handles? I think it would blend in really good(not that the black does'nt look good). then maybe paint your ford ovals black with white boarder and writing or the other way around(white with black boarders and writing) just a thought. Either way, VERY nice truck.

 

x2!
