Same as the long antenna. Never noticed it until I read some posts on here. Now it just looks silly when I look at my truck. The shortened ones are sweet looking.
Some people have said they cut theirs on here. I would never do that.

Here is a link to what I am thinking.

And a link to the screen protector. Apparently it rids those ugly finger prints.

I definetely do not like the rear jacked up as it comes from the factory, however, i dont like adding spacers, blocks, etc to lift and level one either. I like exactly how mine looks now with the factory rear lift block removed. Doesnt hurt the alignment or stiffen the suspension

Welcome to the forum.
We are just north of you in the Loops.
I am going to be in Ktown Wednesday. ...if that is your town and you want to grab a coffee that afternoon let me know. The gf will be along....picking up an old beater bike to restore someday.

Is there an advantage to removing the factory blocks as opposed to doing a levelling kit? I am assuming the levelling kit will raise it slightly to even where removing the rear blocks lowers it to even.

Thank you for the offer. I am actually the other side, just north of Vernon. Sadly I have family coming into town and won't be able to do coffee.

What brand are your vent visors? I've never seen any like that. Very cool looking. Any chance you could take a few pics of them?

Nice looking truck. I grew up in Vernon. Your place looks nice. That's the stubby antenna I have had on my current and previous F150, works well but does cut terrestrial radio reception/distance by half. Not an issue for me, may be for others.
