Haha, yeah well these were projects I had started before we had 2 kids. Now with 2yr old and 1yr old little boys running around I am lucky the car is finished for the most part because what they say is true about not having any time for yourself. So at least she is letting me get my open projects wrapped up.

Accessory Time

Window Tint matched to the rear windows & Installed MBRP T5111 Exhaust tip Covers. These covers slip and clamp over the factory tips and have the holes for the factory cooling louvre. They stick out an additional 1". I like them because I didn't have the chrome factory tips. Also installed rear wheel well liner to hide the silver bed.
Wheel-Well Liners - Rear Set
Part No: HC3Z-9927886-B

Installed Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover. Great fit, looks awesome. Installed plastic tailgate liner, TrailFX TG93X Tailgate Liner. No drilling, uses factory bolts. Clean fit, prevents scratches, works for me. Installed Ford rubber bed mat for 6.5" bed
Part No: HC3Z-99112A15-A. Thick and fits perfect, nothing is sliding on this thing!

Installed very short antenna. Kind of surprised me how tiny this thing was when I opened box, I was looking at different ones so I thought it was larger but I really like it and have no radio issues. The Stubby Antenna for 2009-2017 F250 ordered from amazon. Here is a link to the manufacturer.

I have always been an Oxford White guy but I must admit these silver trucks really look good.
Nice build so far.
I will be interested to read about what you think of the Pro Comp kit. Are others under consideration for you?
The audio build should also be interesting.

Thanks, it's actually going in Tuesday to get the ready lift 2.5" level and the badges and ovals painted. I like the ready lift over the pro comp because it comes with the drop brackets for the brake lines, sway bar and bump stops. I've ran pro comp suspensions on my last two trucks though and it's quality parts.

I was going to do the same one until Carli has all their stuff ready to go. Where did you order it from? I can’t seem to find it in stock anywhere

I have a local shop here that is ordering it for me but I called and talked to ready lift before hand. They were very knowledgeable and could probably sell directly to you.

Chad do you have any tire rubbing issues with your current tire and wheel setup?

No, none at all and no trimming needed.

Yes, the consumer truck builder doesn't catch that issue. If you will click on the i info button you see the 3.55 locker requires 20" wheels. And he could not put the order in for 3.55 w/o the 20s.

Sorry to the OP for the sidetrack.
