Painted front and rear Ford Ovals, silver and magnetic gray. Also Painted the chrome on the side badges Magnetic gray... that was a mistake! There was miscommunication with the painter, he was suppose to paint side badges silver. He is going to redo them. It doesn't look bad but Not what I want.
Wrapped the main grill bars silver. Wrapped the front and rear bumpers gray to match the two tone of the truck. Color of the vinyl was perfect on the sample we matched to the lower sections but once applied the metallic in it makes it look a few shades lighter. Going to fix it soon because the color being off bothers me. It's worse in person. But I love the color matched look.
Installed ProComp dual steering stabilizer with Fox 2.0 dampeners. Don't know part number, call 4wheelparts for info. I like the looks especially with the 2wd air dam, you can see it from the front. Also like the fact that it prolongs front end wear. Can't tell it's there at low speeds but really tightened up what little high speed bump steer there was.
Oh yeah and I adjusted headlights way down from what they were after lift. Marked a spot on my garage before and after and let's just say, people would've been pissed because they were wayyy up.
I like the grill and bumpers looks awesome
I wish ford would give us the sport option like they do with the 150 I would be all over that with my next truck to replace my 2014 maybe in 2018 they will come out with that
I have run the dual ProComp stabilizer with Fabtech shocks on my 7.3 since it was new. The only difference being my shocks are both on the same side.
Will definitely install something similar on my new rig as ride stability is markedly improved especially for off road conditions.
Good to see you brought an expert in to be sure you did the install properly.
Looks great! Since I am ordering the same colors, I may consider doing the badges like you did. I actually like the Magnetic side badges... As much as I REALLY like the grill though, I'd probably skip it as I know with a lot of highway miles, chrome will hold up better to nicks/chips.

Yeah the side badges don't look bad but I would of and may still paint the black section silver and the f250 letters in Magnetic as well, then it would really stand out but I wanted it to disappear (blend in better) with silver. Oh and the grill is wrapped with vinyl and holds up quite well to chips (not sure if you thought it was painted). I had a truck fully wrapped black with my company graphics and no significant chips on the front.

Thanks!
Wheels center with the relocation bracket. It brings the track bar back to factory location and re-centers axle.
I love the color matching! I still don't understand why ford doesn't offer anything like this besides the lower bumper. I understand the chrome holds up better but color matched is the way to go
