figured I could clear 295/65's with the fenders and not have to lift it. With a Deaver Mini Pack, Raptor rear shocks, and a LT shackle in the rear, and a uniball UCA in the front suspension should be pretty decent and ride well through the rocks at the ranch. Worried lifting it might cause the ride to not be quite so smooth offroad.

I specifically like those fenders because they aren't a Raptor conversion, just accentuates the stock lines.....I think through fiberwerx they're like $450 plus shipping for the fenders and the bumper valance.

I figured it was about time I put something together. I bought my truck in October 2012 as one of the first 2013's to hit the dealerships in Houston. I can't seem to find any stock pictures, but it is a 2013 Platinum Ecoboost Supercrew in White Platinum Tricoat Metallic. I had the truck for all of 2 weeks when it went in to get Fox 2.5 Coilovers with reservoirs installed in the front. I also picked up a BitTen and had a JL 8W3 put in a custom built box in the factory location and put Hertz HSK components in the front doors about a week after the coilovers. For Christmas that year my wife got me some 305/55 Nitto Trail Grapplers for the stock wheels My truck gets worked on a regular basis, but this was about the biggest load I've had on it so far. 2000 pounds in the bed, 900 pound feeder, 6000 pounds of feed and a 1000 pound deer blind on the trailer. Truck squatted a little, but yanked it down the road like a champ and cruised smoothly with the cruise at 70. Today I finally made the decision on which wheels to go with and went with 20x10 Hostile Knuckles in the PVD Chrome. I'm really happy with they way they look on the truck. I'd say the truck is mostly finished, just have a few little touches like painting emblems and the grille and a 6" lift with 35's and I'll be mostly done. Here's the truck after getting the wheels put on today. I've got a little rub, but nothing that can't be fixed with adding some height to the coilovers and a dremel to the plastic. Overall with 37,000 miles on it I've been very pleased thus far. I also put some Dually D2's in the intercooler opening and put a tuner from 5Star on it when the truck had about 10,000 miles on it. The 93 tune makes me smile everytime I press the throttle, it really woke the truck up. Let me know what you think.....I have a few ideas on the next upgrade, but figured I'd see what other people think about it now before I throw more money at it.

You should definitely add those fenders I think they would look killer on your truck. But when you do the bed sides you will need the same ones that match the front because the raptor bed sides would look weird.
