Thanks again for the compliments... very appreciated, took a year to get to this point.
Not sure what's going on with the weather? Its been above freezing for the past week or so and finally got cold (again) a couple days ago.

i did the f350 block swap because i hated how the 250 would sag in the rear with even a fairly light load....even before you were on the overload springs.....now with a load it sits at or near level...much better
truck looks good akford!!! i wish i would have gotten the non chrome grille

i got my coils blocks and ubolts from fordparts.com, cheaper than the local dealer even with shipping
Haha ak, i would trade grilles with you if you werent in Ak....being down here in the south....when spring rolls around my pretty chrome grille gets covered with bugs daily...i would rather have the grey plastic because of this

I got my coils, blocks & u-bolts from y2kford... I think I paid right around $250 total, but it should be cheaper for you since the shipping cost to get stuff up here is high.
Yeah I've been debating what I want to do to my front end... its either color matched paint or chrome bumper/grill.

Thanks!
I'm not too sure these tires will be the best in hard packed snow/ice but should fare well in deeper stuff...
I really like the Sport package also; a buddy of mine has a white '05 that looks great!
