Default 2015 XLT attitude adjustment - finally

Well, I finally got around to making a real change to the look of my truck. I replaced the grill with the Raptor style from Paramount and bought the switchback version of the Anzo headlights. I still need to hook up the turn signal wires though. I also replaced the black plastic mirror caps with grey carbon fiber look replacements.




I still have more to do but it is getting there. I have installed accent LED lighting in the interior and fully replaced the sound with an external amp and subs. I posted pics of the sound system previously but I don't seem to have them on this PC.

I know the truck is dirty, I took this pic after driving 500 miles from Georgia to Florida.

The plate came from The Sign Guy. I have had it since 1999.

How hard was it to replace the grill? I like it!

It wasn't incredibly difficult but you have to partially remove the headlight bezels. I wired the LEDs to an ignition source.

Here is a video of the Anzo switchbacks and led switchback turns:

So, now for the real attitude adjustment:

2" Rough Country level
Moto Metal 970s in gray and black
Nitto EXO Grapplers 295x55x20

Went with this size to maximize highway driving while still getting the look I wanted. The tires just crest the wheel wells. Speedometer is off by less than 1mph at 55.
