my new 250

'17 F-250 gasser. I did the N-Fab lightbar with 130w spots and 100w amber drivers, 20x9 Granite Alloy rims (+19mm) with General AT2's, 35x12.5R20's (No lift, no level, no rubbing, but I do have the snow plow package and ditched the front mud flaps.) Mos def my favorite truck ever. Loving it.



Fairly level right off the lot with the snow plow package.



The KC 130w spots are hard core retina burners. The amber drivers are 100w amber Hellas and make a huge difference in snow and fog.



I do like the rims, too. Look better in person, and really makes the truck. And you can't beat $163.00 for 9" 20's at the Tire Rack!



The 35x12.5R20's barely stick out. Visually, I like the offset a lot.



I really dig the '17 Super Duty. Best looking trucks out there, IMHO.

Beautiful pickups spook, and Dan.

Dan, if you don't mind could you put some nighttime pics up of the lights?

Incorrect, I purchased the 6 year 125k warranty and the lift will be covered throughout the full duration of the warranty coverage.

All from Sterling McCall Ford in Houston - my buddy does the lifts for their dealer and I wanted everything covered under warranty and the extended warranty.

Good looking SD! Which Fender Flares are those? (If Bushwacker, which ones?)

I ran the wires through 1/4" black pvc tubing and placed the tube in the grove on the edge from under the light up to the mud flap brackets. I had to stake it at the curve with .020 stainless tie wire. If you zoom in you can see it. I had to add one more tie at the top just below the brackets. If you use a needle nose you can push the wire right through the rubber pretty easily.

I was in Carpinteria many years ago and a guy had a train horn in the back of an old Nissan pickup. He used 2x4 to mount it in the bed but it took up the entire bed.
