I never intend to buy white trucks, but I always end up with them because that's what I find for the right price with the options I want. I wanted a red Superduty but they all either sold too quickly it were in crap shape.
White '87 F150, white/red '95 F350, white/tan '06 F150, white '05 F250
Only non-white trucks I've had were my '75 F150, '81 Bronco, and '75 J10

They fit really well and the chrome seems like it's quality.

Did you switch out shocks? What does the kit consist of? Is it the commuter kit? Looking to improve my ride if you could explain how it's better now. Truck looks great! Gotta love a red truck.

Thanks man! Here's an updated picture of the truck. I got the basic "Leveling" kit which consist of 2.5" coil springs, custom tuned Bilstein 5100's, adjustable track bar, castor correction shims and brake re-location tabs. In addition I added a 5" block in the rear to keep the factory rake, along with carrier bearing shims (3/4").

When the vehicle was stock it rode like a dump truck unloaded, especially over bump but.. Its a 3/4 ton truck. I heard good things about Carli's springs/ shock setup and I'm glad I went that route. The front end feels tight, and settles quickly after 1 tire hitting a pot hole or bump. Unloaded I used to have a bad rythmic vibration/bed hop when driving 60-70 on sectioned concrete highways, and now that's almost eliminated. I'm looking into getting their full leaf replacement for the rear, however I'm in the process of re-gearing and locking front and rear differentials. So that's on hold. I've heard their full leaf packs make it an even nicer ride.

your truck looks great. the carli/deaver rear leafs make a major difference in ride quality. I installed their 4.5" rear leaf packs and I don't get that freeway washboard effect anymore. they're just plusher
