like what was said before I like them because its easier to reach the trailer hook-ups and to reach inside the bed. With the tires I have on the truck now, the fenders look good with em. I'm still trying to get use to the front. Does anyone know how to adjust the headlights? I keep getting flashed by smaller cars it seems all the time.

aerodynamic headlamps can only be aimed in the vertical direction
(up/down) using the procedure following. The headlamps on your vehicle
are properly aimed at the assembly plant and should not normally need

To adjust the headlamps:

•
(1) 8 feet (2.4 meters)
•
(2) Center height of lamp to ground
•
(3) 25 feet (7.6 meters)
•
(4) Horizontal reference line
2. Measure the height from the
center of your headlamp (indicated
by a 3.0 mm circle on the lens) to
the ground and mark an 8 foot
(2.4 meter) horizontal reference line
on the vertical wall or screen at this
height (a piece of masking tape
works well).
3. Turn on the low beam headlamps
to illuminate the wall or screen and open the hood. Cover one of the
headlamps so no light from that lamp hits the wall.
4. On the wall or screen you will
observe a light pattern with a
distinct horizontal edge towards the
right. If this edge is not at the
horizontal reference line, the beam will need to be adjusted so the edge
is at the same height as the horizontal reference line.
5. Locate the vertical adjuster on
each headlamp, then use a #2
Philips head to turn the adjuster
either counterclockwise (to adjust
down) or clockwise (to adjust up)
aligning the upper edge of the light
pattern up to the horizontal line.
6. Repeat Steps 3–5 for the other
headlamp.

Hope this helps.

Summet20, would love to see more pics of your truck. What size spacers did you use. I was thinking of running 285/75/17E tires (34X11.5). Since they only measure 11.2 I was hoping to get away with 1.5" spacers.
I know Street Scenes fenders could be added which look like last years models (saw it on the SEMA truck) but I'm not excited about adding 1.5" to each side of my truck!

I don't agree, I love the new grill, bumper, headlights, fenders and hood! When my dad parks his truck beside my 03 with an 05 conversion, my truck looks like crap comparatively.

They work great! I tried using 1.5" spacer and they are too close for confort in my opinion.

Thanks for the pics - the tires do make them look much better. I'm also hoping to help out the front end of my truck more then anything. The big old flare on the 450 makes the factory tires look like little donuts and really weighs down the front end. I think a wider/taller tire will make them look more proportionally correct.

Ford dealers did get a questionaire about the new trucks, and one of the questions was their thoughts and reactions to the new dually fenders. My fleet guy said he's been getting negative feedback and sounds like he marked as much when he filled it out, so I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything transpires from that.
