F350 Front Valance

Anybody know where I can find a lower front valance / air dam for a '11 F350 Lariat? The previous owner of my truck notched it for a snow plow I assume and I'd like to replace it. The part I'm speaking of it the greyish black plastic / poly piece that sits below the front bumper. Please let me know if you have any suggestions other than the dealer.
Thanks,
JD

Perfect, even cheaper than the 4wd one I believe.

jdenny,
Just out or curiosity, how much shorter was the 2wd valence? I'm looking at a f350 4wd but i need a shorter valence to clear a step under my garage to park it. My 08 f250 has a small valence and clears fine - but I need about 3 inches on a new f350. Thought a shorter valence may be the fix

From what I've read though, the 4WD valance is approx. 7.25" and the 2WD is approx. 4". I'll give you an exactly measurement when I get it.
Thanks,
JD

I took the 4wd valance off today in prep for receiving the 2wd valance tomorrow. The 4wd valance measures 7.5" in height as you probably know. I'll measure the 2wd valance tomorrow. Like the looks of it without the valance minus the exposed wires, wonder how much gas mileage would suffer. I'll post a pic of it w/o it in shortly.

Cool I would like to see that. I would think that without it you would get more wheel well fog during rain, but that just a thought.

I lost my front valance on my first trip to the mountains. Funny my rv did not have any trouble but my truck did. Why would Ford put such a large valance on a 4x4? Can you say Ground Clearance?

I may order the 2wd version, sounds good. I have not done anything and have been looking into rerouting the fog light wire and just leaving the stupid valance off, but this shorter one might work.

I'd love to see a pic of the shorter one once you install it!
