Fabtech 2.5 with remote resi in rear
Full replacement of stock leaf springs with Deavers
Firestone Air bags for rear
Fabtech 2.5 with remote resi dual steering stabilizers
22 x 12 inch American Force Elite in black wheels
38 inch Nitto Trail Grapplers

Just curious:
* Why did you decide to go with the Fabtech 4 link?
* Why are you replacing your leaf springs with Deavers - what will be different about their springs?
* Where are you having this work done?

At first I wanted to go with Icon, but then I was at the shop and they had the Fabtech Dirt Logic 4.0 there and I fell in love with the way it looks. Those things are huge! Check out the attached pic. Other than that, no other reason....

I just heard they are a lot nicer riding than the stock 350's on the highways due to them being softer. But I need to ad in the Firestone airbags to compensate for heavier loads.

* Where are you having this work done?
Industrial Motoring in Fullerton, CA.

Inknow this this is an old thread but could you share you removed the chrome door handle pieces???

The side fender badges are held together by 4 clips if I remember, you pull slowly. On mine the metal clips separated from the plastic ears of the badge, when you noticed that pull carefully so you dont break the plastic ears.

The FX4 or 4x4 just use heat gun or hair dryer and start peeling.

I personally like the de baged and color matched look












This is an old thread I know.... but wondering if you could explain how to pull off the chrome on the door handles?? Are they clips like the mirrors?? Thanks.

@tuclia... did painting the tailight covers affect the blind spot monitoring? I've been thinking about "smoking" mine, just don't want them the stop working.

I pulled the FX4 decals off the bed on Saturday morning...looks much cleaner now. Still contemplating taking off the Powerstroke and the 6.7L...I kind of like the looks of them.

I removed my Power Stroke Badge but left the 6.7L logo...I had to move the one on the Passenger side.

I prefer this....
