Thanks. My truck is very similar to yours so may be copying your setup. Did you buy the headlights?

Yes. Raptor Retrofit. Totally worth it.

What I've been waiting for someone to do is.... for example, nad, with that white Lariat sport and the grey grille is to color match the headlights to the grille.

I think that'd be sweet. That what I did with mine - color matched the headlights to the flat black of my grille.

IMO, absolutely. I just wanted a bit more height after on my sidewalls. I kind of thought the 55 were a tad short for a "truck."

Default Ride

How's the ride quality with the 1.5" level blocks? Everyone said that it doesn't affect the ride on my last truck, but I felt it was stiffer after leveling it.

Zero difference.

Noticeably higher when washing, cleaning windshield, drive thrus, etc.

So here's the pics you guys wanted.

Side pics and I had a couple of guys PM wanting pics of my headlights and taillights. I went with the "OEM" look on the headlights. Tint and blacked out reflectors isn't for me. Cheers.

Tell your "ole' ladies" you bought yourself a Christmas present and order you some.

And I just measured, I have a bit over 1" rake with my current setup. Believe it or not, had never measured rake. I had just kept and eye on the front.

Thanks for the pics. In my opinion 1.5" is the highest you can go with stock tires before it looks funny.

Your headlights looks great. When I black mine out I'll be doing the same thing. I also prefer the stock look of the reflectors. I think I'll do a semi gloss black though.
