It has a 2.5" Ready Lift in front. I will add 1.5" in the rear later. I was not sure on how it would look at first, but once I picked it up today I would like to raise a bit the rear.

Nope. My truck did not come with the appearance package (none of it). I swapped out the F150 badging for the red ones for the bright contrast to the dark gray. I CF'd the dash myself (3M Dinoc) and added the red molding in the groove that surrounds the dash.

Any of you sterling gray owners ever consider having the 20" rims powder coated a darker graphite color versus the stock color that seems almost a match?
I figured if I get the truck I could have the local wheel repair shop refinish them in an anthracite/dark metallic graphite type color for some contrast. Any opinions or anyone see this before on here?

Default tail light side by side comparison

I parked next to a another sterling grey last week. I have the black tail lights, light tint on 3rd brake light and 6.5 bed 4x2 and the other guy has the chrome tail lights, silver two tone, with 5.5 and 4x4. The way the sun is shining throws off the comparison a little but in this pic I actually like the chrome ones better. I do like mine though, with having black handles and black head lights

I think the chrome tail lights look better on a truck with the chrome package, they seem to fit better with that design. My Lariat doesn't have the chrome package so I'm swapping the chrome out for the black tail lights.
