Aloha, New F-150 Owner here :)
Aloha everyone! As you can probably tell, i'm from Hawaii. I just picked up an f-150 a couple of weeks ago brand new from the dealership. Just finished my lift. Here's a few pics! And No, it doesn't rub at all.
for those of you who have a negative comment about how the tires stick out and stuff, to each his own opinion. i like it, and thats all that matters!

my gf is 5'0 tall and with the 8" lift she get hard time get in even with the 5" oem chrome step bars. i think you'd be better off with the 6"..... its also $500 less than making it 8" and rides better. (MY OPINION). Im from Hilo but live out in kona now due to work.
