Thanks guys; yeah, the wheels seem to be polarizing as either folks hate them or love them. I am still waiting on my black inserts and may try PTM too.

Looks good. I kind of wished you would have kept the OE wheels, especially since its a platinum. I feel like on a truck that nice, its impossible to get something better than what came on it. Like putting Dubs on a Ferarri. But it looks good, and as always you build them right.

Un-be-liev-able!! Beautiful truck and that is the perfect stance (nice and level), height, and tire size for an F150 4x4. Well done sir!

Thanks Ray; I love the Magnaflow exhaust systems. Had the same setup on my lifted '09 FX4 with the 5.4L V8. As with that system, my current setup has a low but powerful growl while under light throttle or cruising but no drone inside the cab, and really comes alive under heavy throttle but not obnoxious. Much better than the Flowmaster systems I have had (louder with noticeable drone) or the Gibsons (no drone but also too quiet).

Very minor on bottom of inside fender flare and front air dam. I had both trimmed cleanly so can't even tell.

I actually stressed some on this as I wanted to keep the Platinum wheels as I really like them too. But I could not get the stance I wanted with those wheels without using wheel spacers and I did not want to do that. But I still have my factory wheels and may decide to do something with them down the road.

I have to ask what do you end up doing with your old trucks..? Trade them in or private sell? I would have loved to buy your powerstroke, your 09 150, or this one!!!


Well at least dream about buying!
