Some Line-X work

Pics were taken on iphone so they are so so quality. Front grill surround gets sprayed next week, along with the rear platinum f150 tailgate facia. Gonna leave the front grill inserts on the front facia and the indents on the rear facia the platinum color, but it should change the entire look of the truck, for what I hope is better

Anyway onto the pics, I had the front/rear bumpers sprayed, and the side steps completely covered as well. It all has the "extra" in it which is the shine protectant to stop fading/discoloration.

Front


Front Side


Side Step


Side Shot - Notice there is no longer the fugly chrome strip on the step bars Took away from the suspension parts and I felt it made the truck look lower in general, therefore, it got sprayed!


Rear Side


Rear Dead On

FX4Life/mhockey I figure you will read this post, Rize is taking build orders on the TBars again. Mine has been placed and apparently there is a two week build period on them.

You need to paint the chrome in those tail lights black. After that get overlays for your tailgate emblem that are black background preferably with a silver ford in it.

Niteshade the orange marker light on the side view mirrors too, and get raptor headlights

Looks good Maybe some tow mirrors to go with the rugged looks of the bumpers and height of the lift?

I'm no longer eligable for Rize Trac bars, they screwed the pooch on that one when I wanted to spend the money. I now have the nationals installed.... I won't go into that cluster ****.... In short my springs gave enough lift to go from frame to axle w/ Mhockeys 12" rize...

What would I do? Level out the back and match the tint on the front windows with the back would be my answer.

Truck looks mean as hell!

FX4Life,
So your truck is sitting higher in the rear now ?

Dnasty,
It really is level in person, the front just looks high due to how I took the picture. Also, I feel you on the windo tint it is happening soon I am still just debating if I want to tint the front/rear headlights all at the sametime

that is an understatement... Its at about 12-14" of lift I get to take the leafs off today and pull the #5 and #9 leafs. The intitial install was a huge pain having to power pull all the arch too strech from eye to eye; I can only imagine how rough the un-install will be. When I called b/c they where about 3 weeks past due they said they had some issues with them, now that they gave too much lift they think these two springs are too stiff.... I will NEVER mess with springs again, this is twice now I have been burnt by leaf packs

Sorry to hear about all the trouble man. Im still undecided whether or not to go with a full 14inch leaf pack or a 5inch Rear block with a 9inch leaf pack if possible in order to run the Rize traction bars.
