I wish I'd waited on the F350 - I've already added the camper swaybar and probably going to have to buy some rear springs as it is.

I probably missed it but what truck did you get?

Sorry - no I didn't say. Just reading the boards today.
I bought a '17 CC Lariat F250 from a dealer here in Denver, just last Monday. 600miles as of this morning, trying to get to 1K so I can tow to Kansas on Friday.

Got the tires turned around so the right side is facing out. I think it looks much better. The truck was detailed and I can say it looks even better now. BTW, the factory rubber floor mats look better than I thought they would.

Went to Line-X today to see about spraying the rear wheels for me, less than 200.00 bucks. This might be my route as I am not a fan of the bolt on liners. Also think the black color would help a little on the visual. My first mod was the hose clamp tailgate slow 'em down thief repellent.

Wait! What?? How does the hose clamp work? Doesn't the tailgate have a lock in it?

Ooops...that should have said "rear wheel well". Instead of liners, I thought about having Line-X applied. It is on hold for now.

If you can open your tailgate you can remove it in 1 minuet or less. The hose clamp on the right side can at least slow them down.

Old trick, but effective ... especially if you position the screw head at a difficult angle. But don't the tailgates lock at the latch nowadays? My 2010 F150 tailgate locks with the ignition/door key.

Yes the tailgate does lock when you hit the key fob, I didn't know about this feature and it's loud enough to make you say "wtf was that".
I'll probably still add a hose clamp for redundancy.
That's a beautiful truck my friend, factory spray in liner looks amazing.
